Army logic can be impenetrable at times. Long ago, I used to run inmate fire crews for CalFire (not anything remotely like Fire Country, but that's another story). When we had a large fire over in San Luis Obisbo area, the crews were set down at a nearby National Guard base for rest after a fireline shift. The gate guards would wave the trucks full of inmates right on through but stop us in the support vehicles for ID checks.

I wonder where he picked up his lockpicking skills and tools. Given the lax security at that prison, I'm surprised Sir didn't land a punch on Trent's nose through that gaping window.

Pascal and the Accounting Office are both going to have questions about Cruz's OT claim after that night shift.

Maybe it was an attempted hit on him while biking, and they just happened to pick a spot in front of Angie.

I must have missed a scene there. How did the intervention become a kidnapping? No matter. Like everyone else, I first thought Betty was going to be held for ransom. Classic Southern motif there - Will yells "Stop that man", and random driver hops out, chambers a round into a pump shotgun, and takes over the scene. I got a real kick out of Will's retort to the idiot suspect who says "You can't ask me any questions without an attorney present." "Well, then since you are acting as you own attorney, I am hereby addressing your attorney, not you." I might just want one of those Betty Maria dog toys.

It's too bad we can't have a Blacklist-style ranking for all these escapees. It would make it a lot more fun to follow. Of course, if Kings of the Highway showed up, lethal force is authorized just on general principle. Why did Becks revive the Dr. at the end? Just to return him to the prison?

The Burma, or CBI (China-Burma-India) theater was almost completely infantry-bound. Supplies were moved around by mules and horses as roads were few and far between. That would be the place for a veterinary corps.

Paul Newman was one, although slightly different circumstances. He was hospitalized when his ship was deployed to the Pacific, where it was sunk by Japanese forces. He said later that he was overwhelmed by survivor's guilt, and it was only by Joanne Woodward's support that he avoided suicide.

🤣😎

Unfortunately, Edward has gone from the frying pan to the fire, I think. The battle for Singapore lasted only 7 days, and involved the massacre of over 200 patients, doctors and staff at the hospital. We don't know how badly he was injured so maybe he could get out but even if he survived he would be in the hellhole of captivity on the Burma railway. It was good, somewhat, to see Tristan get a consciousness-raising of sorts when he realized the war is not just pints and cricket. What are they going to do with the fox? It was cute, but in real life it would be scarfing up everybody's chickens and cats and whatever.

I'm rather curious as to why a couple of CalFire employees were sent off to a distant forest/park for tree assessment when the agencies have, you know, actual foresters to make that kind of assessment. But, then again, Bode is the all-knowing sage of the world. It's a good thing, too, because that camper would have been there a loooong time otherwise.

Definitely a pass-fail course. 😏😬

My first thought when Blake went to play the wax cylinder was, "Make sure you put it on correctly, because if it plays backwards, all you will get is Led Zeppelin rock music..." And, when Blake mentioned that he'd been in Afghanistan "back in '78", I thought, just wait another 100 years. Maybe (hmmmm), Miss Scott is the real Russian plant, and she played the 'Spy Who Came In From The Cold' game perfectly and is now situated in British Intelligence for next season.

Back in the day, Edwin the art history professor was a rather dashing archeologist/tomb robber with a snap brim fedora and a bullwhip (in his spare time).

I took it that he meant "Whatever happens is on you." Of course, that is absolutely wrong for a supervisor to say that, but I think he wanted them to make the decision to stop.
