Double agent, maybe? I paid no attention to whom her “got him” text was directed, simply because it seemed identical to the birdwatcher’s. Did we all just assume, or was the identifier on the little screen. BTW, while I’m not a tech idiot, I do hate when the writers constantly make us read the character’s texts to follow the story, especially when it gets complicated or motives are murky! Most of the time I have to pause, get up, and go to the screen to read them (it’s wall mounted, not huge, but not tiny, either). 

I rewatched the ep to check this. At the start of the ep (birdwatcher/ ex Fbi partner's phone), they only showed the bottom half of the phone. Since top of phone not seen, we can't see the caller ID that he is texting.

End of episode, exwife Vivian's phone when she's texting: It simply says she is texting a "private caller". I should have guessed they wouldn't be so obvious as to label the contact she's texting as Raveny Raven.

Agree with the person upthread who said this finale is the worst of the Parker episodes. They had a good, fun stretch of episodes when Parker just took over the team.

In this finale, so much buildup to find the kidnapped exwife, then ta-dah she appeared at Parker's home. Anticlimactic. No portions of the framing mystery were answered. And why does McGee tell Parker that Parker going on the run is considered "doing his job"? Huh?
