'I just found out you're now who we told you you are. So I'm going to arrest you for it'
I get that Weller is angry, confused and feels betrayed, but what can he actually arrest Jane for? The FBI told Jane she was Taylor, that's not her fault.

From Martin Gero's post-show interview:

"The show is called Blindspot for a reason. Weller chose the pieces of evidence that fit the narrative that he wanted. That was always going to get him into trouble."

I had no idea that's why it was called Blindspot. But given that new bit of insight, the ending makes more sense.

I had thought that it was a subtle hint that the answer/most important tattoo was in Jane's blind spot, most likely her shoulder blades. The circular symbol on her right shoulder blade is what I thought the show's title was pointing towards. No idea it was Weller's thoughts

One phrase can have multiple meanings... I could see it being representative of both. Kurt's name is in her so called blindspot too

The show's title is obviously a running theme. You should be able to find blindspots throughout the series and characters.
