Another strong episode

The Jennings deal with the fall out from the previous episode.

I enjoyed this one for the character development and performances.

There are a lot of plot threads in series three and this episodes covers quite a few of them and feels like it's setting the scene ready for a dramatic finish.

Since previous events, Elizabeth seems different and her scenes both with and without Paige were the most intriguing. The other plot threads involve the usual moments of manipulation, scheming and potential betrayal. Much like Anton, everyone is seemingly stuck like prisoners in difficult situations and I'm guessing there will be some memorable drama as characters address these predicaments in the upcoming episodes.

This one doesn't have the same shock power as the past few episodes, but it is necessary to develop characters in the right way for whatever dramatic moments are due to come. If you are interested in the lead characters and how their attitudes might be changing towards their duties, this is an excellent one for Elizabeth.

All production values are as great as ever and performances are utterly compelling, particularly Keri Russell.

Warning: Spoilers
As it makes out the CIA, FBI are total idiots, and who needs James Bond when you have these 2, can wipe out the world. I know it's meant to be "entertainment" but come on, make it a bit believable I watched this years ago, go up to the end of season 3.

Trying to watch the whole 6 seasons this time will be a BIG test of my ability to stay calm as I get older.

I mean Martha knows he is not with the CIA, So who does she think he is with? When he visits her once a week. :-) I suppose it's why they have all the sex and violence, as the storylines are a joke. Sex sells and boy this show really needs it cause it has Zero Else going for it.

Onto season 4 the crap-0-meter is already on 7.
