The hostility mounts between the citizens of Jericho and New Bern. A handful of residents of New Bern are shot and injured after getting caught trying to steal from the Jericho salt mine.
Jericho and New Bern on the edge...of war hide show
Things between Jericho and New Bern are getting more dire by the minute. Some men from New Bern are caught trying to steal salt out of Jericho's salt mine. Those 8 men pay the ultimate price for their crime. Hawkins, with all his CIA training manages to blow up the mortar factory shocking the residents of New Bern. Johnston helps bust out Eric and Jake from the jail. In all the mayhem I was hoping they might find Heather but they did not. Now it's up to Hawkins, Eric, Jake, and Johnston to pull the town of Jericho together for the inevitable retaliation of New Bern.
Jake is reunited with Maggie. hide show
After Jake was captured in New Bern, Hawkins is on his own. That is until Johnston shows up in New Bern who heard about Jake and Eric back in Jericho. Hawkins drives a truck into the ammunition factory and in the resulting chaos and with the aid of JOhnston manages to free Eric and Jake and Maggie.
Maggie clearly cannot be trusted, but Jake doesn't know that, yet. I'm sure he will find out sooner or later.
I thought Emily speaking to Gail about Mary was very kind and I loved the barfight analogy. Gail telling Mary that she would be kept informed was a step in the right direction, I hope these two, Gail especially, can work out their issues.
The only thing really missing from this episode was the powerful, cliffhanger type of ending that would have made it the best episode in the seires. Either way - the episode was fantastic with no filler scenes and a lot of intense conversations between the two towns involved in the episode - Jericho and New Haven.
The scenes with Jake and Eric in jail were really good - I liked the meteor speech and almost expected the writers to put a metoer falling in the final seconds of the episode, but was surprised when I didnt see one coming down. Hawkins stole the show in this episode, drawing out everything he could think of to infiltrate a town by himself and plant multiple bombing devices. Without a doubt on the the better action adventure scenes that this show has ever produced. Some of the scenes back at Jericho were a tad bit filler, but still really good. Skylars parents storyline with the angry town woman was the only real downside to the episode, which is why I canoot give it a perfect rating. Still - top 5 episodes of the season no matter what.
one of my favourite episodes hide show
me and my friend dave watched this episode and loved it, but not because it was well written (which the episode is) not because of the fantastic actors and characters (which they are) but because it was the inclusion of three small things that made us chuckle when the action got too tense.
first; harry gets shot in the leg!!! you know harry he pops up every 4 episodes with one line... we laughed because everyone in the episode keeps refering to him as a regular but really he's an extra (but since this episode and we found out about the cancellation we keep joking that he and his bullet ridden leg should get a spin-off series)
and finally the leaping green brothers- we were not expecting both eric and Jake to perform some stunts like this but the, out of character unexpectedness and close up angles of them made us laugh.
seriously though this episode has it all drama, suspense, questioning of characters motivation... bring back jericho... long live the nuts revolution
Theres gonna be a jailbreak hide show
I thought that this episode was really good it had me on the edge of my seat for most of the episode. I was really mad when I seen Maggie from the fake Marines in the jail with them but on the other hand i was happy to see her in there. I was happy that Hawkins found a way to blow up the ammo factory I liked seeing the fireball and New Berns reaction to it. I was happy to see Johnston go back into New Bern to help Jake and Eric escape. It was really great to watch the four of them fighting New Bern.
