Bianchi was nice enough to let Smitty finish his phone call before he pulled his surprise on him and Sandy. For some reason: I was expecting Smitty to end the call by asking Bridget to pick up some Chinese food and cigarettes (if she was up to it). Looked like the actor was going through the motions reading his lines. I laughed when Mickey bragged he knows Ray and he would call if he had found Bridget. No Sandy! Maybe a pound but not ten.

Just a guess: His story line will replace the departed Lambert's and needed some layers to his backstory. Makes me wonder how a scientist goes from finding or creating the split to being held prisoner. I hope we get answers next week. Was it ever explained: (from Season one) When Howard would sit and interact with someone from the other side or when he met the other Howard, was that some big computer screen for them to see one another or glass separating them? If it's just glass, then there's another way to cross. The House Keeping department is falling behind gathering the people who never came back.

The return of BB. Is she to be trusted this time? Her speech at the funeral made like she was sour on the US government (or were the writers using this time to be preachy?). Who doesn't know Rafa? Breaking into the club was crazy and why didn't Miro's security check Rafa's bag or change the vault's combination (surprised it could be found online)? Robert's first kill? It's funny/sad April was lying on the platform (for how long?) and no one helped her up or called for an ambulance. Hector is always causing trouble or trouble is heading his way. I'm sure Ester's man will fail in his attempt to find Daniel.

I think Sock and Meat were on the table before they settled for this.

Ok. The fourth it is!

Peter Alpha has been mentioning many times of his "luck". Not all his luck is from Management: the success at the roulette table (passed the winnings to a homeless man), (last season) he was successful/lucky creating an alibi and surviving crashing the car with Clare as the passenger, and this episode: the story from the Peter Prime about the events at the soccer match/how their fortunes turned out. There's something else I'm forgetting. Peter had many opportunities to turn in Clare or kill her. Maybe he didn't turn her in for the sole reason he thought he would go to jail but I think he is still in love with her. When he was on the phone reading the "script", I don't think "I love you" was a line. I could be wrong. I will have to go back and hear the other person reading the same script. I'll go with you first guess too. I will take the fourth for the win! He is alive. In the first episode, he made a brief appearance at Clare's/Peter's apartment for dinner. I don't think we've seen him since.

I had a feeling Qualye's secretary was the asset. Does Peter have enough time to convince them she is Shadow and leave no doubt? Peter is a "Lucky" man, somehow he will get out of this with no problem. Poor Peter. Going through all this for his love for Clare. I'm slowly beginning to like Naya. I hope she survives this season. Ian/Wesley Pierce is from the other side working for Management. Where is his other? Wonder why he gave up that life to go over there and which management brought him over? What a surprise! ECHO has terrible security. A guard is asked his name and instantly puts his entire family in jeopardy. I was shocked they didn't kill him after it was done. Did Peter Prime survive? I will assume he did, we didn't see a body. Was Osman going to kill Howard? Emily is a tough one to go in alone. Yanek needed to have a chat with the Lamberts about his theory (too late now) . That would have been some discussion. Yanek is Mira's father. I doubt she broke him out for a family reunion. For a moment, I thought Spencer was going to the apartment to kill Clare. How can Lambert not see why his other is infatuated with Clare. She's gorgeous. I gave a mini cheer when Howard told the guy "I don't have time for this". I wonder what's the punishment for the guy bringing a "picture of modern technology" to the office? Howard to Emily: What do we do now? Emily: Change the tire!

The opening was tough to watch. Even the bank robbers couldn't believe what was going on.

She got two hits this episode. The writers must have been tired of her too. Ray must have gotten bad news every 10 minutes. If he had ran out of clean white shirts, that would have been the cherry on top.

I wasn't thinking that far. I wanted to see his reaction to his counter wife knowing him and he thought he was dead. Yes. Thanks for the correction. Please open the door. I want to see the Clare vs Mira match!

Thanks for the explanation. I'll do a re watch.

Did Emily's mother quickly forget about girl's weekend? I guess she's an agent/spy. Who was the man she was with? Maybe a young Pope? Mira is responsible for the epidemic and deaths of millions Clare's parents?! That's one cold woman. Now Clare knows her mentor killed her parents and the lies she was fed at the school. Howard had to know his friends were in danger by giving Baldwin a knife and not letting them in on plan for Lambert. He is more responsible for their deaths than Baldwin. The blood gushing from the guy was gruesome. What is Lambert's plan by letting himself get caught? I doubt Emily talked him in to surrendering to Naya. Why is Quayle surprised to see another Lambert? Unless alpha was supposed to be dead years ago. I was hoping Emily said Lambert's name to Howard. If Osman was following Ian with case, why didn't he take it earlier? Management was pretty slow tracking the case. I will assume Osman left the tracking device at Mortiz' place. All is forgiven between Baldwin and Clare? Howard's plan to show Yaneck he is not going to fight like Prime but try to bond with Marcel. How long will that last? Emily don't pay the late fee! Use the excuse: "I was hit by a car".

She said "Those children are the soldiers that you and the rest of Management were unwilling to create", and the counterparts held in Echo aren't soldiers, they're just being pumped for psychological information, so she was not wrong about that. (And she presumably knows what goes on in Echo, since she knew enough about it to want Howard sent there) Agree. But I never said management was using the prisoners like the children or creating soldiers. I took it as Mira believing management was unwilling to use counterparts in some nefarious way and when we found out about ECHO (they did have a plan). I am not convinced yet if she knows what goes on at ECHO.

Alpha Marcel was killed in Season 1 by Baldwin, so prime Marcel's info is useless. Why is he still held at ECHO? He must have pissed someone off!

I burst out laughing when Abe was told the janitors have a higher clearance than him! I was waiting to see if the world tour reached Africa or Jamaica. Maybe next year.

No stand up for Midge in this episode! I'm sure there were a few times she wanted to grab the mic and deliver some jokes.

Are Mira and "management" considered major? On prime side, Mira ran the school for children (orphans or sent by their parent(s)) to behave exactly as their counterpart/take over their lives or train them for some devious role in her organization/program (Indigo). She trained Clare and is now a fugitive wanted by both sides. I believe she was a member of the Office of Interchange and went rogue. Also, she doesn't seem to age. Management is still a mystery. So far (we are told) they are one group for each side, making decisions for each OI but they could be just one playing some twisted game controlling both sides. (Correct me if I'm wrong) Alpha's technology is more advanced than prime's technology due the epidemic. Prime fell behind due to the many lives lost. Also, was he looking at his other or the girl? EWWHH!

Smitty to Bridget (about Ray jumping from the bridge): And he lived ? Even Smitty is surprised by the writing on this show! As usual Mickey's plan fails. Couldn't the boxer take the asthma pump in the corner away from witnesses? Pump or no pump he still should beat Bunchy's ass.

In the meantime, maybe Baldwin will have a few practice kills on the girl kissing her sort of "ex" and on Howard's friends (I doubt she will keep her word)! Yup! I'm sure Clare will find a way to escape. Maybe Baldwin doesn't survive this season!

A lot of info/questions from this episode. Mira was wrong: management has implemented some plan with counterparts (maybe or maybe not as devious as Indigo?!). What kind of information can Yaneck learn from this Quayle? He is nothing like the Peter from the other side. The 2 Lamberts were talking as if they were twin brothers from the same side and not counterparts. For all the checking ECHO performed on Howard they couldn't detect the bug in him? Was it coincidence in front of the ECHO was 20 and opposite 02? Ian found the case! Mira needs to work on her torture technique. I'm sure management knows Emily was lying about the file she found at the safe house. Now that Howard is going to work with Clare and Peter, Baldwin will have a chance to take out Lambert and Clare soon. Will Spencer be tasked to kill Clare? Probably felt upset Clare didn't recognize him. Poor Howard paying the price for other Howard. Now Yaneck is going to "make" him the same as Prime Howard (should be interesting). Impressive, clear recording from a device located all the way down in a sneaker. Peter is lucky she light on her feet and didn't break it! Emily get your memory back you have a lot of answers to share!

A big improvement. Sadly for Baldwin, her only advantage is she can impress folks at a party by blowing smoke from the side and her mouth at the same time.

I was confused, I thought management released him as part of Emily's acceptance to finding Mira.

Bunchy got the money but couldn't leave the Aunt Sandy in Boston? Too bad for Justine paying the price for Ray's schemes. Lena hit Ray hard with the truth. I was wrong but I laughed when Ray punched Bunchy. He never wins! Every time Bridget asked "can you let me go?", I screamed on Ray's behalf: YES! GO! GTFO! If Terry had won that fight... I might have quit the show! Was the person playing Marilyn Monroe someone from Ray's past?

Mira is more diabolical/cut throat/devious than Clare. She looked the same when shown in young Clare's flashbacks from season 1. I guess she's too evil to age. If Juma/the old man was member of "management", he didn't live in luxury. Also, he believed there was some good in Mira? I hope by her slicing him, he finally changed his mind. Each side has their own management. Why was the 5th floor in ruins? Did she travel to another "counter" place? Management seems to be all knowing and in control, I wonder how they missed not assassinating Mira years ago? Is Howard released or is he going to ECHO?

Shame on those two. Should have been covered during "pillow talk". You're right. The amount of times she kept telling Chen to break it off, it was like they were violating some rule.
