Synopsis:

Spoiler:
Christian Beaumont doesn't just have an axe to grind with the prison system, he's got an axe to grind with the entire system of organized government. The gang must find this escaped felon before something else is destroyed. And the stakes become even higher for the team when Beaumont sends an explosive package to Charlie DuChamp's home. Meanwhile, Lloyd wonders who his real father is and why his mother never told the truth about him.

Great freaking episode.

So much hysterical dialogue.

Lloyd to Charlie: "Oh my goodness, he won't look at you because your brown."

Lloyd to Ray: "He's suing you, what a dick. If that's the case, I'm glad your punched him you violent Italian."



Ray to Charlie: "If something goes wrong and I don't make it..."

Charlie to Ray: " Don't worry, I'll tell your daughter you love her..."

Ray to Charlie: " My daughter knows I love her. Make sure you don't tell anyone I touched that guy's penis."

Lloyd: "What??"

I also loved how bashful Lloyd gets around Julianne.

The Lloyd character totally makes this show and helps differentiate it from most action procedurals.

I really enjoyed the case of the week also. Charlie beating the crap out of the guy at the end was great.

This show really hit its stride with the T-Bag episode and hasn't let up since. I really hope it sticks around because the characters are great and I want to see more of them next season. I still think the writers need to have someone get away this season, to set up at least one recurring villain, but thus far they've done a great job of keeping the runners different enough so as not to get repetitive.

I really like Zack Ward and thought he was an effective villain. His escape at the beginning was great as was the conversation he engaged in with the guy before letting him walk into the post office. You almost got the feeling that if the guy had agreed with him, he may have told him not to go inside. His breakdown and fear at the end was fitting.

Boy, does Ray's ex-wife ever suck. He comes in there telling you that you and your daughter might be the target of an escaped convict and you're going to sit there and talk about visitation schedules and you can handle it on your own? That was so ridiculous, and yet totally believable seeing how some people get following divorces.

I thought the comparison of the Patriot Front or whatever it was called to the Tea Party was a little on the lazy side though. It's easy to say people are racists, but other than that one guy refusing to look at Charlie, there wasn't any real evidence of racism shown from the other bad guys, just anti-government sentiment.

That aside though, this was a great episode from top to bottom. They did a great job balancing truly tense moments and action scenes with some of the funniest dialogue the show has had in its entire run.

Ray: "You still a Jets fan?"
New Guy: "Yeah.
Ray: "Jets suck!"

I really like the relationship that is developing between Lloyd and Julianne.

Lloyd: "Step the back off. You probably don't even know what a librarian looks like."

Ray punching that first guy was very satisfying. But when he punched the second guy I totally wasn't expecting it; very funny.

Lloyd tripping and almost falling on the trigger.

And then screaming and running back into the bunker to help Charlie move the freezer.

Charlie: "I saw this in a movie once."
Ray: "What movie?"
Charlie: "Spaceballs."

It was nice that Ray took the crew out for pizza afterward. It's cool to see them sort of bonding and him viewing them less as criminals than as real people.

Shea: "How about a beer to wash it down?"
Ray: "That's a good idea. one beer, three waters."

Agree with everything you said. Especially about Lloyd and Julianne. They have done a good job slowly developing a potential relationship with them.

As I said, the show is a fun action procedural, but the character interactions/dialogue make it different from other shows.

I think they need to give Charlie a "super power". I mean we all know what Lloyd adds to the team and it seems Shea has her thing that she adds but Charlie up until this point really hasn't done anything that any other prisoner could do.
