    This episode focused mainly on the mission to Rogue River, and the interview of the Hawkins family. Overall, I think that focusing on these elements made a better story, as the tension of one reinforced the adventure of the other.

    I am not so fond of the character Hawkins, the actor that plays him or the family. The part of the episode that centered on him did reveal some information, but for some reason I don't trust it. The writers have kept Hawkins such a deep secret, and there is so much misinformation about him I don't know what to believe. This is a problem for writers; if you jerk the audience around, then they learn that you can't be trusted to reveal the truth. This means that whenever we hear the straight deal about Hawkins, I most likely won't believe it.

    The trip to Rogue River was interesting and I found Ravenwood to be a plausible plot device. It introduced a new force that Jericho will have to contend with, and I'm enjoying the forces converging in the story. The action sequences were believable without being over the top.

    This is a good episode.moreless

    We get to see some of the outside world in this episode and it is nothing like life in Jericho! Jake and Eric need to find medication for their dad so they travel to a nearby town with near disasterous results. Considering it's only been a week since the nuclear bombing it's kind of funny to watch the marriage's still suffering and the flirting and such go on as if nothing has happened! I was quite disappointed considering life has changed dramatically for the town and it's people! All in all it shows exactly why the bombs fell as humans are impervious sometimes to their own failures often resulting in meltdowns both human and nuclear...moreless

    Exciting episode in which Jake mentions another possibility for his five-year absence. Was he in the army and did he serve in Iraq? If so, I don't believe that he was simply a driver. I liked the two brothers working together, it seems as if Eric is starting to realise Jake is no longer a screw-up. He even confesses to Jake that he plans to leave April, but doesn't yet know she's pregnant. Great plotting.

    The Hawkins family has to endure some pretty invasive questioning and get their house searched. Robert has taken precations though, with the help of his daughter and he accidentally left an FBI badge lying around, which impresses his interrogators.moreless

    This episode was pretty action packed and the ending of the episode makes it seem like we have a storyarch for the next couple of episodes with the town looking to be targeted by this group that Jake used to work for. We got some answers about Jakes past, for 18 out of the 60 months, which was long overdue after 8 episodes into the season. The relationship with Jakes brother and his wife look to about be over as hes about to confess that he loves Mary from the bar. The next episode should have a little bit of drama followed by a little bit of action if the men attack the town.

    Id like to see Jake and Heather expand on there little episode in the next episode, I dont want it to be something that happened for shcok value and isnt expanded on for a few episodes. Ill forgive them this time because Jake was away most of the episode and Emily was right there when he got back. Solid episode though.moreless

    Jake and Eric head to Rogue River to find the right medicine to save Johnston's life and they run into a unit of mercenaries. Finally, Jake admits to where he was those past couple of years and we find out that he must have had a tough time in the Middle East.
    In the end, we're left with a tense cliffhanger, cause Eric might have lost his wallet in Rogue River so that the mercenary soldiers now probably now where to go next. Scary...
    We also find out a little about the lies that Robert Hawkins got his family memorize about their past. He's a strange guy and there's still no way to figure out if he's one of the terrorists or a good guy like his daughter suggested...moreless
