S02.E06: XIII

[paigow]

Chase and Zoe must track down Hamzad's lawyer in London, while Harper must recruit an unlikely partner.

Airdate: Oct 10 / 24

I am guessing Angela -- though she said Angela no longer exists, as in she's Parwana, an Afghani despite all the splotchy freckles on her face -- wasn't killed, just captured.

So the old men will go on another rescue mission.

Keep Cheryl in the dark and divert her attention while Chase tortures someone in the basemen of her home.

So now the AARP set is going on another trip.  No doubt they will go back to Afghanistan or wherever Parwana is being held.

The dogs -- forget their names -- haven't had a lot of action this season, they're just held back and watched by women.

First season, they didn't travel as far, until the end when they left the country.

This season, they've already been to Afghanistan, back to the US and now they're going to London.  More miles but it doesn't seem like the same kind of journey because in the first season, Dan was evading capture, fighting off professional killers much younger than him.

Nobody on the Russian kill team knows who she is... no reason to keep her alive

I did a search last season and that is typical of Afghani skin.

Unless they have learned who she is and have been ‘racing’ with our guys to get to her specifically. It is also not impossible that there was a mole in Hamzad’s group.
 

With our luck it will turn out Abby slept with the Russian and she is his daughter. can’t have too many fathers.

Any mole would more likely have been working for Omar instead of any Russian.

Pavlovich was surprised that Bote was killed easily... and is now concentrating on killing Chase & Zoe, not finding new hostages.

I assume as well, though I would be way more impressed with this show if she were dead. BTW, that's what hooked me on Miami Vice back in the day, when they killed Al Bundy in the first couple of eps. And then the first LT. Anyone could die. And it is what is crushing the Marvel franchise, that the "multiverse" means no death has meaning.

Not sure why Dan gave the assassin dude at Kruger's a warning (hitting the crystal) before attacking.

Of all things, Zoe is amazed that Anna the assistant called Kruger after he threatened Anna outside her apartment? That seemed to be the *simplest* thing to figure out. Anna was going to call someone, why not listen and see who? Most likely Kruger. If for some reason she didn't, no harm no foul.

I was more amazed that Zoe could sit alone in a restaurant and have an entire conversation with herself without getting funny looks. Yeah, she had a phone, and people might assume Air pod or something, but she wasn't animated or normal in any way.

Oh - so now there is a rare earth cartel! Dun-dun-dunnnnn. This has become The Blacklist.

So the two dogs and Vesco's cat wandered off to Afghanistan?

And they should have killed off the character exploring her mystery, but didn't.
