So many of my hunches were proven wrong, that this episode might be dubbed "the death of theories."
* "Knowing Jai, a twelve."
:)
* Every now and again during the season, I began to wonder if Simon was another son of Henry Wilcox (a romantic liason with an F.S.B. agent, resulting in a son?)
* speaking of romance, Simon and Annie were doing so well...
(and Annie's face was more expressive than ever)
...and if ever Annie had herself convinced/rationalized that it was just a mission, that was shattered now.
* nobody ever shoots gunmen in the wrist. or the leg. (harder for him to aim the gun - at himself or at them - if he's falling)
* not for the last time, I want to know: WHAT HAPPENED IN NAIROBI??? (ooh, a flashback episode, set mostly or entirely back then, would be awesome)
* the young lady who congratulated Annie outside Joan's office...I remember her in the episode where Annie was turning the Yemeni PM's aide, and in the pilot back in season 1 (she laughed then; now she gets a speaking part)
* so, if not for Annie looking at that childhood photo and calling Auggie, she and Simon would be alive and well.
...and both in the cold, but that's a nitpick.
* If not for that office scene, I suspect most of the audience would believe the shooter was acting alone.
This is an example of where previews for next week's episode denies us the right to console ourselves...
I had been hoping that Simon and Annie were wearing bulletproof vests - or something defensive - when they were shot.
