Agreed. It adds an interesting arc to his character. Knowing that his "mission" is over now, what will that do to his character? He is a man who NEEDS a mission in order to keep going, so what will that be?
Exactly. Finding out it was all a lie showed that he is lost all over again. Eugene's lie have him a reason to live. That's why the flashbacks were important, because they established Abraham's mentality. His first mission was to protect those he cared about. They died, leaving him with no reason to live. Then comes Eugene, who's lie gave him another mission, and another reason to keep living. It's not enough to live, you have to have something to live for. That's what the flashbacks established with Abraham.
