Synopsis:

Spoiler:

Episode 4 of 13

So tonight we find out who dies.

The speculation that I've read is:

Spoiler:
It's Chase, but some people think it could be Jeremy

I just finished this and that was an amazing, yet depressing hour of TV. Beautifully written and directed episode and amazing performances from everyone, especially Catherine Bell.

I think they did a really good job using non-linear story-telling in this episode.

I'm shocked that they killed off Jeremy. Kind of a sad and ironic twist that he died this season and his character previously dated Claudia Joy's daughter Amanda, who also died.

Great job to the producers of Army Wives.

RIP to all the fallen soldiers overseas.

Yep, it was good.

I guess when you think about it, he was the logical choice. In the scheme of things, it was time to have one of them die in combat and he was the most
dispensable.

Rest in peace Jeremy.

You mean Pamela and that backdoor pilot she did with Gabrielle Union didn't get picked up. If you watched this season, they wrote in that she turned down the job. Killing off Jeremy was unexpected.

Edit:

Ratings came out. 4.8M viewers watched. Series record.

All I can really say is "Wow"... Never in a million years did I expect to have such an emotional reaction to an episode of "Army Wives," yet it was filmed/acted/written so beautifully that I couldn't help but tear up more than a couple of time.

It's going to be a interesting season with the plot surrounding such an unexpected and tragic death...

So agree. I hope this episode gets some love come Golden Globes and Emmy time.

lol I DVR it, and I think I'm behind an episode. But I saw the beginning of this past one and yeah either way for Jeremy. Chase is a tool.
