Three more weeks until this airs here? Figures, I already downloaded by the alternate route at watched it. I'll probably forget most of it by then. I'll just say {Spoiler Warning - Click Here}it follows the formula where if the good guys communicated honestly with each other the episode would be half as long and probably would have had a couple less deaths.

Just curious...how are you able to see this episode so early? Are you in Australia? Subscribe to Paramount Plus? Do you sail the high seas?
Just wondering.

Was able to actually watch this one live (or at least when it was broadcast on CBS) due to snowstorm giving me a free holiday from the workplace.
I just glanced at a few reviews and they seemed to like this one more than I did. Generally I thought it was average at best.
The Good in this one was we get to know more about Evie (who I think I said was "faceless blonde" earlier in the series). She apparently was an undercover agent before. Though you'd think as a former undercover agent, she would be less obvious about acting suspiciously like something was wrong with her. And then she just up and goes off grid without letting anyone know what the heck was happening. Ok, I get her partner following her to that gym. But why the heck did he get out of the car and confront her and them there? What did he hope to accomplish? He could have really put her in danger. At least call for backup and/or you know, let the rest of the team know what the heck was going on?
The bad guy was pretty obvious from the start. As well as his stooge in the PX exchange store (or whatever they are called now). Oh and it sure was convenient for El Maestro to show up right in front of our heroes as the building done sploded. Speaking of which, sending JD as "El Maestro"? BAHAHAHAHAHA!
Anyway -- it was an OK-ish story otherwise. And it helped flesh out another character and a bit of her backstory. Otherwise, a C- from me on this one.
