Dunno if anybody mentioned it (I skim read the 14 pages), but this final scene does not make much sense. Jo grabs the terrorist's gun hand (actually, wrist), which would neither prevent him from pressing the remote det, nor firing his pistol.
Next, if you really have no choice but go for someone's gun, a pro would stick her fingers behind the trigger or between hammer and frame (on a single action pistol) to prevent the gun from firing. Basic hand to hand technique with an armed opponent.
In other words, and in terms of plausibility, what Jo did amounted to nothing. The guy could virtually still depress the det AND shoot his pistol.
I know it's only a TV show, but there are still ways to make it a little bit believable. A little effort please !
Anyway, MR is gone, as well as the last reason I had left to watch the show.

You're points are valid but I didn't really think about his while watching.. Good though.
