Final Comments

Murtz: It’s only fitting that upon my return to the lair known as Romanada’s we taste an experience, the best episode of the season so far. The only way it could have been scripted better is if Carlos Bernard was here watching with us, since he did not make the same return that I did. I say let the wife burn, and bring back Marwan!!

Romo: I think Martha’s play to get in the car was one way to really f*ck over Logan, who seems to not thrive in stressful situations. I think the only way to stop Rudy’s madness at CTU is after he puts Chloe and everyone is in custody, Tony Almeida wakes up and re-takes CTU still attached to the IV. Only with Tony and Jack back together is America safe.

Rob: Spectacular episode made better by an enemy that measures up to the legendary Harris Barnes. Only downside to the episode Tony Almeida’s no show and only five seconds of face time for Edgar.
