"Great"

This episode didn't have that much dynamic like other ones since Michael was mostly kept in the fake jail but it was good.
The three main characters have a lot of chemistry together. I like the addition of Nate this time to support his brother. Even when Madeline lives in her own world and seems to be a little crazy sometimes she does a good job keeping Michael on the ground. She makes him remember where he comes from, even when it's painful sometimes. I love Fiona. I love tough girls and she was tough and funny. And somewhat crazy. I guess that's why she and Michael won't be able to be together, because they're in the same level of strength.moreless

"Perfect"

By vishus1990, Aug 22, 2008 Report Abuse

this episode definately pleased, one of the best of season 2 so far and up there with some of the season 1 eps. average story line but done very well.

michael is introduced to kayla by his brother nate. kayla is some trouble, she managed to get into the USA legally but her sister has paid to be smuggled into the country by some "gangsters". It all goes wrong when the guys start asking for mroe money or else Kaylas sister will be dead. and quite obviously she has already paid a large sum to get her into the country and doesnt have any left to get her sister free.

good episode, definately watch it.moreless

Nate asks Michael to help a woman that is trying to get her sister back. Michael resorts to kidnapping the kidnapper and then pretending to be kidnapped himself to get the kidnapper to lead him to the kidnapped....anyways, I actually liked the story. I really liked Sam in this episode. He's pretty funny and entertaining. This episode also gets me to like Nate more. I like Nate and Michael's character interactions. I thought Fiona and Michael's mom both had little roles in this episode - I'd rather see more of them. So, overall, this episode had a good story and great character development and interactions.moreless

"Superb"

By cavanagh15, Aug 02, 2008 Report Abuse

Solid episode, not much of the main storyarch but I did enjoy Andrew Divoffs acting in this episode. I think this season is going to pick up on the main storyline here closer to the end of the second season. For now - each episode is going to have a standalone episode with a little bit revolving around the main arch of the season, which seems to be focusing a little more on the woman as time goes on.

Overall, not to much to say about this episode. It didnt stand out as the best, but it was still really fun to watch.moreless

When Michael's brother asks him to help a girl that is being held by human traffickers because her sister cannot pay them trouble comes a knockin. Fiona trails the gangs leader and tasers and kidnaps him to get information. She also tasered herself which was pretty funny. Sam interrogates the leader in the hopes of finding out where the girl is being kept but comes up with nothing. The crew decides to try and trick the leader when they fake Michael being kidnapped so the leader would talk. The plan works and they free the girl. Meanwhile Michael sends Sam out to try and find more information on Carla. Sam learns she has a post office box and the episode ends with Michael and Fi staking out the po box. This in my opinion was one of the best episodes to date. Sam was very funny in this episode with some great one liners. Michael and his brother are reunited since Michael hid him in Fort Lauderdale. Fi look good as always and it was pretty funny when she tasered herself. A very good episode.moreless
