I am not a fan of the 'lone wolf' routine. Especially when it concerns the boss and that same boss wants her team to act as a team.

That could be made up for with a very strong story. I mean if there's a really good reason... well bring it on.

Unfortunately I can't find that reason at all. At the end of the two episodes it is by no means clear to me why Tennant's trip with Kate to Caracas had to be secret. Or why she couldn't tell anyone about Creel. And least of all why she had to chain Kate to a post. (???) I understand that certain things were classified, but you can still tell the outlines or even say it's classified.

But we're not done yet. Only just saved by your team because your own plan turned out not to well, Tennant simply decides to make her own plan again.

And again, why??? Why another plan, what was that necessary for? Why not at least give the official plan some chance of success?

And surprisingly, this plan doesn't go all that well either. But hey, a man was murdered instead of charged, you didn't follow the rules and oh yeah, a prisoner got away.

Well done, great team leader. No one knows why but who cares.

For me, an episode that is made exciting for the sake of making it exciting, but loses sight of the logic and power of the story in the process. Shame.

The 6 points are for the loyalty of the team.
