Synopsis:

Spoiler:
The White House grapples with the unfolding tragedy as Sterling (Zeljko Ivanek) continues the investigation into his primary suspect. Sophia (Laura Innes) manipulates the traitor inside the White House, confirming the suspicions of Chief of Staff Peel (guest star Roger Bart). Leila (Sarah Roemer) and Michael (Scott Patterson) attempt to rescue Simon (Ian Anthony Dale), but at tremendous personal risk. Elsewhere, Sean (Jason Ritter) and Vicky (Taylor Cole) try to identify Sophia's secret courier before it's too late.


Episode 19 of 22

Promo:

I'm really looking forward to these final 4 episodes. The show has picked up alot of steam despite how ridiculous it is. Ian Anthony Dale (Simon) tweeted last Thursday that they wrapped production on the season finale.

Yeah, it would be great to see this be renewed and I wonder how it will end should it not be renewed; Jason Ritter makes it seems as if there's still a chance for a second season.

I'd like to see this show get a sophomore run.

Not much motion but it does setup the final episodes nicely.

I thought this episode was pretty good. Lots of setup for the final few episodes of the season.

at Vicky for not taking the shot. I have to assume that she's developed some feelings for Sean and is sort of losing her hard edge.

at the guy carrying a briefcase full of cocaine. How the hell does he expect to get by U.S. Customs?

I absolutely cannot wait until Jarvis goes down. I think Sterling kind of wimped out at the end.

Yeah, this has picked quite nicely after a so-so start. I find myself looking forward to this show on Mondays now.

Leila may be toast.

If Sterling was going to burn himself, he might as well have made the accusation. He could have bluffed about the evidence til the test comes back. Why else would Jarvis grab the sugar/splendid packet as shown on the video they watched? Jarvis seems so weak willed that he may just have admitted it.

Nice episode.

This show is better when it tries to be 24 instead of trying to be... Lost?

I agree. When they focus on action, I think the show works really well. It falls flat when they try doing some deeper mystery arc.

i laughed earlier when there was a Event promo on and they said something about a bioweapon released in a shopping mall

gotdamn, when you think about it... really how can you change a show about aliens into 24... it doesn't work (yeah its more watchable, but storywise it doesn't make any sense)

is it too late for some time travel?

Sophia's voice is just getting on my nerves now.
