While this episode continued to push towards a marked increase in quality I can find several things to complain about. Olivia and Lloyd are now an item simply because they were an item in their flash forward? Mark Benford cannot find his best friend in the whole world because he went "off the grid" but Stan can find him in less than a day? Also, Mark cares enough about Aaron to keep his secret, but not enough to look for him? The Vice President decided to go to the one man she obviously hates and mistrusts for help on an issue of the utmost importance to her and possibly the nation?
But the biggest thing I have a problem with is the fact that Janice is pregnant with Demetri's child. Janice obviously has a skewed moral core (at least as far back as the last episode) but Demetri should not have done that, and by "that" I guess I mean Janice. It could not be more than a few weeks since Somalia and now Dem wants to fast forward to his wedding in an effort to stop the future from coming true.
However, in a perfect example of Greek tragedy the decision to avoid the future is what ultimately brings it about and Dyson Frost has captured Demetri on the day of his expedited marriage. That I liked, even if I could see it coming. I could complain that Dem said he wanted to go away yet decided to get married in L.A. but I will not. Obviously the guy has complex commitment issues.
It was wonderful to see Al again. His death still represents the highlight of this series and it was refreshing to reconnect with a character that did not repulse me on sight. I also liked that Vreede was an ordained minister, somehow that made sense. I was disappointed that we did not get more than a brief mention of how many people Marcie shot. Was the "WOW" knock off player killed?
Marcie became a double agent because she was not assigned a partner upon entry into the FBI. Additionally, Janice became a double agent because she was not assigned a partner upon entry into the FBI. Does anyone else find that to be weak motivation?
