Check your DVR's This didn't record for me.
Thankfully, it repeats through out the week.

It really makes me wonder when a 'Directv' show doesn't properly record when it's supposed too on their DVR .. this also happened w/ 2-3 episodes of FNL last season.

No kidding--thought it was just mine. No reason this shouldn't have recorded. Saw it at about 9:05 not recording, hit record and the series logo came up, since I do in fact have it set to record as a series. That aside...

Thought it was darn good. REALLY loved the slight of hand with the guy and the bomb and the bus. Genius...

Fortunately, I checked my to-do list....didn't see the series pass catching it and forced the record.

Again, a great roller coaster ride although I'm getting pretty accustomed to the fake-outs....knew that the SWAT team was going for the witness rather than Dylan Baker.

I didn't know exactly where they were going at first, thought it might have been some random guy that was on the bus but I was for sure it wasn't going to Baker. He is too smart to slip like that.

I was out of town for a few days and checked my DVR and yup, it didn't record it on my Directv DVR either. I think these Audience Network/101 shows sometimes have problems because they don't get a full episode description/air date and I think the DVR assumes it's a repeat and boots it off the rotation.

Will have to record Friday's re-air.

Just an FYI: Friday's re-air usually is a "enhanced" airing .. there are pop ups on the bottom of the screen explaining scenes.

It was neat, but still pretty predictable.

A few things don't make sense though. Jerry's goal was to implicate Nasim in an attempted bombing of a bus. But why would Jerry choose a bus that Ellen was on if all we wanted to do was implicate Nasim? Obviously they were only trying to fool the audience into thinking it's a real attempt on her life. But there are other holes in this... with Ellen on the bus, she can state that she never saw Nasim on the bus, especially since he was under protected custody... and Nasim had no reason for bombing a bus Ellen was on as he was working with her.

The red-herring was just as bad as last week's medallion in a big box to make us think it's a bomb. I don't mind attempts at fooling the audience, but it has to make some sense.
