Great episode as always.

Did anyone else notice the retouched Chiquita Banana sticker on the door when Victor stole the sniper rifle. That was hilarious.

The case in this episode was not that interesting, but the characters were awesome. Everyone - Sam, Michael, Fiona, Michael's mom, and Victor - had great character moments and developments. Michael Shanks plays a character named Victor, which is Micheal's new handler. I loved his character. He was unpredictable and funny - not to mention I've always been a big fan of Michael Shanks so I'm glad to see him in the show. Anyways, Fiona was hilarious when she went to the house and broke the window with the rock. Michael was really funny when he had to lose the fight...Sam and Michael's mom were great together. Overall, great episode with great characters.moreless

everytime michael does a job for a client he always refuses the money they are giving him sooooo how the hell does he buy food? so he must've accepted something, right? and what's up with the spy mission he was sent to do with the wrangler? anyone can do that! heck, fi can do that alone. nothing really happened in this episode, it didn't sway out of the storyline because of carla's mission so it wasn't a filler but i guess the writers ran out of good spy stories. ups and downs, i guess. ups and downs. and this one is a down, let's just hope it doesn't go down from here but flactuate to the top on the next episode.moreless

"Great"

Show is losing its draw that it had in season one. The "major" case is not getting as much attention as it should on a week to week basis. Going into season two we kept hearing so much about this "Carla" handler that was going to be a big part of season two. Six episodes in I think we have seen her for about a grand total of maybe fifteen minutes. The new guy that they introduced in this episode was okay, but when you see Michael continue to get rattled week in and week out it starts to grow annoying. We watch the show so that Michael can be the smartest and the brightest and when this new crew comes in it seems he makes mistake after mistake after mistake. He never has the advantage for the most part, he always has to play one step behind and we don't know where the story is going at this point. When you get an episode from the creator you expect it to be ground breaking, this episode was written by Matt Nix and it was far from back breaking. Average, Decent episode.moreless

What a great episode. Michael does a great job again trying to save an old friend from being killed by a mogul.
I like how Michael and his team use psychology to make a person take the path they want. They're very skilled. And that's part of the fun of this show. The effort they make to have it their way.
Fiona was great and funny. I loved Sam. A grown man, taking care of Madeline for protection was excellent. In the end, Madeline found out what was going on. It was nice to hear that she appreciated it, instead of lecturing Michael.
And poor Michael, working against his will in order to keep safe the people he cares about.moreless
