With The Mole’ s Final 3 locked in, there are plenty of reasons why Muna, Michael and Sean could possibly be the mole. No one is innocent and everyone is suspicious! But who walked away as the winner of Season 2? Let’s recap.

FINAL MISSION | For their last hurrah, the players must make their way through three boobytrapped “mine fields.” The team can bank cash for each area they pass, but if they take just a single wrong step, the money goes kablooey! They can earn $10,000 for passing the first zone, $15,000 for No. 2, and $25,000 if they safely cross the last and hardest path. Oh, and they only get 20 seconds to look at the answer key, which tells them the correct path they need to take.

Sean goes first, but tells us that he might botch it on purpose in order to throw Muna off Michael’s scent. But let’s be real. This one looks easy as hell! Is sabotaging it really a good idea here? Sean’s been trying to purposely convince people that he’s the mole all game long… but does that necessarily mean he’s not the mole? Plus, he’s a former police officer. He has to have a decent memory! He wrongly steps diagonally (on purpose) and watches the money explode.

Michael is next up on the second course and he flies to the end. But then he thinks the final step is to his right, despite the fact that Sean and Muna are screaming “LEFT!” behind him. And just like that, $15k goes boom. When Muna steps up for the last bit, she’s confident in her memory skills, but tries to suss out which of her partners wants her to success, and which wants to see her fail. Sean gives her a wrong answer, which makes her think that he’s the mole. She completes her task, though, which banks them $25,000.

TOTAL PRIZE POT | The winner of the season is about to collect $154,000! There’s just one more hurdle the players have to clear…

FINAL QUIZ | The last questionnaire tests the players on the entire game thus far. Muna can’t get past how Sean made himself appear as non-threatening as possible all game long. Plus, with his police background, she thinks he’s definitely the mole. Michael also thinks its Sean, but questions whether he knows enough about Sean’s background to win the game. (What college did the mole go to? That’s actually a question?!) Sean has his eye set on Michael, and let’s be real — the dude has done a laundry list of shady, shady things this season! (The suitcase in the water? The wire cutting? Flopping on that final mission? Come on!)

With the finalists’ answers locked in, the eliminated contestants return for the big reveal. The tension builds as Ari asks the mole to reveal him- or herself. He asks the mole to step forward… and Sean does exactly that. (Give the dude an Emmy! Wow. What an actor.)

But who won the game? Both Muna and Michael thought Sean was the mole, but it all comes down to the quiz. Ari says just two questions separated the winner from the loser… and that winner is Michael !
