Yes, right at the end. Bull went to her house, and tripped her up with a question about decrypting the hard drive, and then offered her job back. She had on nice pajamas, though.

Yeah, silver certificates might be hard to come by in the present day, unless the team went back off camera and stole some plates to make their own, or something. I'm waiting for Wyatt to ask someone "Is there an ATM close by?" Fun fact about the Chuck Berry song "You Can't Catch Me" (the chase music). John Lennon either inadvertently or purposely copied the line 'Here come a flattop, he come groovin' up slowly' for the Beatles song "Come Together". Cost him a lot of money to Chuck Berry. Wendell, if you took that 50 gallons of moonshine out of the trunk before the race, you could probably win by an even better margin. So Keynes wants to build the master race, eh? I also thought that the women were not so pleased with that idea. The problem with creating a top tier of anyone is that sooner or later someone decides that you're not in it, and don't slam the door on your way out to the firing squad. What lure or reward do you use to convince someone to go back in time and commit suicide to further the motives of the giant octopus? What was in it for him? And on a side note, taking over Ford, just in time for the Edsel? Really? What else could go wrong in the next twenty years? Nice bits of real history in the conversations. Dropping the 'He's a Communist' line in 1955 was no joke.

On the other hand, laundry bags worldwide would be caught up in grievous displays of sorrow.

The Sandman isn't, or at least wasn't identified as such. Dr. Fulton should be on the list; maybe the show is saving her for a future episode.

Is she the Maitre d' of Murder? I have an idea, FBI. The suspect runs out the back door and into the snow. Her feet sink into the snow as she runs through the woods. What clue could you maybe use to track her movements? C'mon, people. Anyone? Well, at least we're back in the top 20 of Blacklisters.

Although I didn't rewatch to see why Grandpa Rittendude was in heart failure, i.e., trauma or heart malfunction, I would like to add that an AED doesn't really work on trauma codes, such as a battlefield injury. In this case the heart has stopped due to blood loss or direct injury, neither of which an AED can correct. It merely stops the heart by shocking it, allowing the brain to restart sending the correct electrical pulses to get the heart beating in the correct rhythm again. I know television routinely shows people being shocked back into life and conciousness, but it rarely ever happens that way.

With all this hacking going on right, left, and center, can we somehow arrange for someone, anyone, to hack into the script computers and generate plots with at least some level of believeability? Guess what, President Smarmy? Your use of an ancient treaty between Spain and the indigenous peoples just opened up a floodgate of lawsuits by other tribes whose land had been taken by commercial development. Perhaps rightly so (the lawsuits, that is), but that's grounds for at least three more episodes as it spreads across the nation. Sorry, but as soon as the two brothers got into their Tom and Dick Smothers fight, I hit the fast forward button. I really didn't care what their grievances were, or anything about the FLOTUS foundation. And it would seem highly unlikely that a tourist would be allowed to bring in a laptop on the tour. Did Kirkman or Lyor see to their hygiene needs, and keep them fed? But of course!

The way this show is going, the most interesting part to me is the exposition at the beginning of each episode. It's the only thing that seems to have any mystery to it.

Because the slogan "Only I can prevent forest fires, do arson investigations, detective work, social work, rescue people, advise on structural stability, order upper management around, and bamboozle my husband on a daily basis" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Seems to me that if Rittenhouse is placing its sleeper cells throughout history, choosing to place one in the Infantry just before WWI might be rather self-canceling. There would be a chance that he would not return from the war, even without the intervention of Team Wyatt. Maybe it would have been unlikely for Lucy to kill Emma/Carol, but, damn, Wyatt, you had a gun on both of them and you could have dropped Emma in one shot. Yet you stood there and backed away as they got into the Eyeball. Such logic doesn't make for long seasons, though. The plot has to go somewhere. Captain: "What regiment are you from?" Rufus: "The black one."

Jazz singer Josephine Baker emigrated to France in the 30's, gave up her US citizenship for French citizenship, and entertained throughout WWII in the South of France (after Paris was captured) and other places throughout the world. I mention this because she was active in the French Resistance the entire time. I was expecting the British airman to be a plant by the Germans, for some odd reason.

Plus....the all important storyline. They already went down St. William Avenue. Maybe the writers will take a left with Shauna and start a "How To Cope With A Completely Irresponsible Guest While Juggling Your Already Scattered Lifestyle" story arc. They should contact the Brothers and Sisters writers for some ideas.

The Cuban rebel was getting old, and looking to cash in his IRA (bad pun, I know). He was willing to sell out the other guerillas for a huge payday from the Cuban government, financed by the American mogul, who was looking for an in with the government for nefarious development schemes. Alas, our hero overheard them.

So, the IRS agent with the kid gets moved off the case, and Red retracts his offer to get the kid into Davenport. Is he still on the hook for the locker rooms, and does he retain ownership of the land parcel intended for the school? It would have made just a teeny more sense to send Aram into the hot zone with more than 9 minutes of air, since he had to walk about a half a mile, first. There's these things called SCBAs, from what I hear, but what do I know. Lizzie blew it at the end (something new and different!). She shouldn't have told Cooper about Garvey's identity. Walk away, call Reddington, and maybe his in-house arsonist, and deal with it. How did Edwards get to be on the Blacklist if she had apparently never done anything criminal before? And, after she infected the SEAL, she was continually inhaling the antidote until it was destroyed, whereupon she became infected, implying that the virus is airborne and virulent. Yet the cops move in on both of them at the bridge without any protective gear whatsoever. Okay, if you say so.

I had to laugh out loud when Benny asks a question that gets a juror rejected, and he goes on to ask the same question in an open group. Gee, do you think maybe everyone who wants to get off the jury panel will answer that same question the same way? Exactly. Vicodin? Who gets high on Vicodin? I had to take it @ 325mg for post op pain, and never even noticed. I wonder, given the continual Cable references, if the show title wasn't a double entendre. Will she be forgiven? Tune in.

Under the principles of minor consent and implied consent, medical personnel, especially EMS or ED personnel, have quite a latitude in determining the level of treatment given to a minor. Certainly, all attempts must be made to contact the parent or guardian, but generally the staff can take reasonable action to stabilize a patient, and even do surgery if the doctor feels it is necessary to prevent further imminent harm or long term damage. That's how I was taught a long time ago in Basic EMT class.

There was a third possibility, albeit very slim. I wondered why the barkeep held the door open long after the couple left, and he stared at them as they walked down the street. But, yeah, FakeBuddy pretty much dropped the anvil right off the bat. So the victim was raped, but there was absolutely no rape-related DNA evidence collected from her body? The show said this occurred in 2010; don't tell me they didn't have the ability. Personally, I have close to zero sympathy for Bull's client. He deserved to spend time in prison for being stupid. The minute he was escorted into an interrogation room, he should have said, "I want to speak to an attorney. I don't care how it looks." Yes, it's a plot device, but this is an obviously well educated guy who should be aware of the interrogation process. I'm glad they didn't bring out his original attorney. That guy should be disbarred for incompetence. Benny, you're the attorney here. You, not the trial consultant, speak to the client and advise him of his choices

All the stations in my former department installed locks on the doors, or spent the money on some basic remodeling for that very reason.

That was fun, but my pet peeve is always with stupid criminals. Why did he have to walk right up to her to kill her? The pistol didn't have enough range to reach across the room?

Okay, pure fancy here; How I want The Americans to end: Philip and Elizabeth wake up in a huge overstuffed bed, somewhere in New England. In rapid succession, perky but scatterbrained housecleaner Paige comes in to complain about something, followed by irascible but warmhearted handyman Stan. In the background you can hear Oleg talking to his brothers Ivan and Ivan. Philip looks at Elizabeth and says "I just had the worst dream of my life. No fucking way." Elizabeth replies with a sigh, "Way, dude. Way."

What I would like to know is, if Casey was close enough to shore to easily rescue, why didn't someone simply strip their turnouts off and do a quick swim over to Severide and stabilize him? It probably took 10 minutes to get that ladder set up for a potentially ruinous outcome. To answer your question, FnkyChkn34, no, he wouldn't float. Once you get water in those boots, you're a boat anchor, and the heavy clothes make it that much harder to move. They would cushion his fall somewhat, though. There was an engine already at the accident scene; why didn't they set up a perimeter and block traffic, if only to allow access to the victim? Oh, I know; so Casey could rescue the clown. I did like Boden's speech, though. It's not their job to decide who is worthwhile in this world (cough-Cruz-cough). What's the deal with Stella? Is Zach the Mack trying to pimp her out to his sister? That was a very odd lead in to the upcoming story. I'm glad Sylvie stood up for the homeless guy. But, I was thinking at the time, what if the crazy woman had managed to land a swipe with the knife? They would have had to create an incident to cover the treatment, and explain to Boden, "Well, we thought this homeless guy was being assaulted in the camp, so we took the ambulance over to investigate, and it turns out that some crazy woman was there, and I more or less threatened her, and she took a swipe at me with a knife." And Boden says (with a sigh), "And your job description is?" Alright, Hermann, let's review: F is for Forget About It I is for Immediately R is for Remember What Happened- E is for Every Other Time

I would really like to see Reddington in therapy, simply for the dialogue the writers could cook up.

Bull was apparently working as an agent for the prosecution at their request, so I think the restrictions would apply. I did a quick search and found this: "You can invoke your right to have an attorney present, and until your attorney is present, the interrogation must stop." Assuming she did so on the initial arrest, as the attorney showed up, this would indicate that any future interrogation on behalf of the prosecution would have to involve her attorney.

You would think that terrorists/guerrillas worldwide would instinctively know from years of television plots that, when the Designated Badass woman in the group says she "just has to go to the bathroom right now, it's a dead giveaway that she has an escape plot already figured out. Also from years of television plots: Someone is always in on it. Start doing background as soon as the ransom demands come in, and you'll have that much more time to sell commercials. Favorite line of the night (for reasons I can't quite figure out): "I'm not a switch flipper". I have to save that one for future reference.

Would someone please explain to the writers how the Miranda warnings work? Such as, the accused is entitled to have an attorney present whenever she is being questioned? The entire sequence of questioning by Bull in the conference room would be inadmissible, as well as any leads produced from that questioning. That's basic knowledge, which this show routinely ignores in its pursuit of "the wily Dr. Bull wins again" plotlines. Is Bull a psychiatrist or a psychologist? It made mention of two PhD's that he has achieved, but neither were in the medical field, I believe. The reason I bring this up is that if he is not an MD, he has no business telling the medics in the room to give her an injection of whatever it was. And if they did follow through with it and she went into seizures, she would have one hella good case against the State of New York, as well as Bull.
