    After a meandering path through the land of red herrings, WTF-ery, and suck, I think I care again? Slightly?

      This was a great episode with Annie running from Ansari's men in Luxembourg, leading to some very interesting developments in Switzerland and a brilliant ending!



      Aside from all of that, we witnessed Auggie's mission in Iraq, and I love the secne where he gave the purple heart medal to this child who was there when the bomb went off and helped keep him alive. It wass a great scene!



      The developemnts in Zurich were great! The events in Ansari Senior's club were very interesting, and Megan meets a sticky end as anticipated.



      It was a great penultimate episode and I really look froward to the finale!moreless

      I was loosing interest for the last few episodes, but now the show is back in the game for me!
    • A amazing penultimate episode!

      This was such a great set up for the finale!



      Annie and Auggie's scene in the beginning was so adorable, her. toast to Auggie was incredibly sweet. I hope they are able to get their feelings out about each other by next week.



      Auggie's arc was really compelling and my favorite part of this episode, I liked how he was able to help his 'Battle Buddy' find closure and he himself I think finally got the closure he so desperately needed



      Henry Wilcox is defiantly up to something and I hope Arthur can find out what it is



      Annie on the run was super exciting to watch who knew high heeled booties could be so deadly?

      Her turning to Eyal for help made complete sense to me, it was nice that they were able to reach a understanding by the end of the episode as well.



      Eyal's choice was both heroic and stupid I hope Annie can get him out of the jam he's found himself in!



      All in all I think this episode was fantastically compelling and a wonderful second to last episode of the 3rd Season.



      Seeing next week's preview nearly gave me a heart attack, I am bursting with anticipation for next Tuesday to come!

      Another strong episode of Covert Affairs. Christopher Gorham does a believable job playing an ex-soldier who helps other understand the hardships of that life, and of course the scenes with Annie and Eyal in the field are always entertaining.



      Excited to see how the season finale ends.

      • Auggie: I, uh, I'm deploying to Iraq tomorrow. Operation Proper Exit, they've assigned me as a Battle Buddy to Pfc. Pete Downey he's from Smyrna Delaware, post dramatic stress. Now I know what you're thinking, "Battle Buddy" sounds like we're going to a field trip to the science museum but that's what they call it so.
        Annie: You're leaving tomorrow for Iraq?
        Auggie: Yeah sorry the timing's not great Joan's out of the office and ...
        Annie: When you'd find out about this?
        Auggie: Ten days ago, this has all happened so fast and you have been literally running for you're life it hasn't been easy trying to find the right time to tell you.
        Annie: No that doesn't matter. It's great. I think you will definitely get something out of it.
        Auggie: Yeah well, I'm just serving when called upon. It's a quick trip.
        Annie: Regardless, it's a journey and every journey should begin with a toast. What toast do you give to a deploying soldier?
        Auggie: You can say anything you like, just not break a leg.
        Annie: Okay, why don't we just go with, good luck battle buddy.
