Warning: Spoilers
This entire episode is about the architect of the secret prison that the main bad guy is supposed to be held in. Both the good and the bad guys go through her daughter to find her, and the daughter works in a Western-themed bar, so we get a good ole fashioned bar fight.

IT guy gets jacked. Folds in 30 seconds under interrogation. Action guy #2 (Mac) gets close to a girl, but she gets killed. He then he goes on a revenge rampage and attacks men with assault rifles with his ... sidearm. Yup. Oh, he is fine, because 9x19 beats 5.56x45 in this world, or something. Whatever. We then find out that they were close in an out of sequence scene of them setting up a future date that will now never happen. I think it was an attempt to humanize the character more, or invoke some empathy for him, but I found it poorly done. I rarely like non-linear storytelling, and this was done in horrific fashion.

Anyway, the good guys get the information that they needed from the contractor (of course it's a woman. Everyone of any importance, or relevance this season has been female. The men are all bad guys, mooks or distractions.), but the bad guys escape with her in their custody. She was portrayed as a slightly bad person, so she's probably not going to make it. This show has been as subtle as a chainsaw.

Almost done ...
