Ohmigosh, the awesomest episode yet...

Yaaaaaay, it was Andrea that died! Actually, I felt really bad when it happened, simply because they did it so well. When Molly gave the order for that plane to come down... *shiver* So powerful. But I'm so glad my Three Stooges are okay!!! *snuggles them*

Janklow was sufficiently creepy in this ep. I love how he sucked up to the senator, heh! Poor Molly.

I don't understand why Ramsey knew about the "not ordering from the same place twice in 3 months" thing and Lucas didn't, considering how it was the opposite in the last ep. Maybe Lucas skimmed the rules about food, and Ramsey skipped right to them? Heh. It was cute when Ramsey hit him, LOL! Those two work great together. :)

James Parks!! Yay!! He was in my fave ep of Stargate! He rocks. (He played the bank robber, Jake, btw.) :)

I loved the part where they confronted Nigel about the leak. I love him ten times more after this ep than I did before. He rocks. And at the end, confronting that PI! He's my hero! :)

The sudden gunshot when Ramsey and Lucas were in that guy's apartment made me jump out of my seat, LOL! Dang, they set that suspense up so well. And Lucas shot him! Woohoo! I was cheering! But... did they seriously not check the bathroom before the goons left? Hmm...

Molly said she and Nigel aren't friends, but come on... they totally are. She's so sweet to him, and he responds so well to her... most of the time. They kind of remind me of Elizabeth Weir and Rodney McKay on Atlantis. Hmm, maybe I'll start shipping them... heh. ;)

But yeah, their scene at the end? So incredibly sweet!! Love this show. :)

The cat!! Ohmigosh, that freaked me out more than the dead woman did! And Cavennaugh's "I never liked cats," while in extremely bad taste, was hilarious. ;)

"This woman is dead because of me." Wow... so much Nigel!angst in this ep. I just ate it up!

Molly's call from her mom was so sweet. Great way to end the ep. Poor Molly, having to tell her not to come. :(

Did I mention this was the greatest ep yet? Cause it totally was. By far. LOVED IT.

Now for quotes...

Lucas: (looking at his slice of pizza) "This is nasty."
Ramsey: "I was hoping that smell was from Fenway's lab coat."

Nigel: "I think before that alien object arrived, Molly Caffrey had a LOT of time on her hands, and we're paying the price." (chuckles)
Molly: (walks in and brushes past him) "Afternoon, gentlemen."

Molly: "Make sure you're armed."
Lucas: "What? Wait... you mean, like, carry a gun?"
Molly: "You developed the ammunition. Stunning the infectees is probably the most humane thing we can do."
Lucas: "Still, handguns... it's not me."
Ramsey: "Ditto. You know I'm a lover, Caffrey, not a fighter."

Guy: "CDC always send this much muscle for a virus?"
Ramsey: "Well, our attitude is, it's better to be safe than sorry."
Girl: "Well, I don't understand. I feel totally fine."
Guy: "Yeah, me, too."
Ramsey: "Well, we think it's a new kind of virus - the, uh, the feel-fine virus."
Nigel: (gives him an odd look)

JT: "I can assure you that Threshold is not a livestock museum."

Lucas: "Man, I was afraid an alien infectee was behind this, but what if the fish being served at this restaurant have been genetically mutated by the signal?"
Nigel: "Human ingesting of alien-infected animal life. Phew, can you imagine the possibilities of that scenario?"
Ramsey: "Don't sound so excited, Dr. Frankenstein."
Lucas: "Guys, run with this. I mean, what if we find a bunch of mutated fish at this place? What do we do?"
Nigel: "Shut it down. Shut down every dock, fishery, grocery store, and restaurant selling fish from northeastern waters."
Ramsey: "Oh, that's all."
Nigel: "Well, what choice do we have? These people are presumably having dreams from eating one meal. What if they eat multiple servings of infected food? The cumulative effect would be devastating."
Ramsey: "There is a silver lining here. I'm no longer hungry."

Tollman: "You said so yourself, Doctor, all they're trying to do is convert others. We could say the same thing about Jehovah's Witnesses. We don't lock them up."
Molly: "That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard."

Molly: "Janklow finally spoke. Played Senator Tollman like a pro."
Cavennaugh: "You think Tollman's gonna be trouble?"
Molly: "Oh, from the start. Then I called him stupid."
Cavennaugh: "Are you kidding me?"
Molly: "Do I look like I'm kidding?"
Cavennaugh: (laughs) "I must have missed the 'insulting senators' part of the Threshold plan."

Nigel: (entering the conference room, where JT and Molly are waiting for him) "I'm not gonna be able to give you any answers anytime soon. I've got 6 local fish samples to test, I've also got all the other foods and the beverage canisters..." (stops when he realizes they look rather stern) "What's going on?"
JT: "We have a leak."
Molly: "Someone's been speaking to a reporter about Threshold. Someone on the Red Team."
Nigel: (huffs) "You think it's me."
Molly: "We have to ask."
Nigel: (exaggerates looking around) "Asking everybody?"
JT: "Oh, come on, Fenway. You've been our biggest critic."
Nigel: "That's right. I think it's foolish not to ask for global help in tracking these alien infectees, and I also think it's the public's right to know about the threat they're facing, but that's not my call." (turns around, hands to his head) "This is just great." (turns back to them, angry) "I'm trying to do a job I didn't sign up for in a town I can't stand, alimony piles up for 3 ex-wives, and now I'm being accused of treason."
Molly: "Maybe it was an accident. Do you know a reporter named Janet Tam?"
Nigel: "I never heard of her. But it wouldn't matter if I SLEPT with her, I take my classified status seriously! So, either lock me up, or let me do my job." (storms out)
JT: "Hey, we're not through with you!"
Molly: (to JT) "Wait." (sighs) "I don't think he did this."
JT: "Why not? He hasn't stopped criticizing us since he came here."
Molly: "Exactly. He's not the type to stab in the back. Fenway stabs in the front."
JT: "Okay, okay, play it your way. But if you're wrong... he WILL be locked up."

Jake: "Great. Cops. Did one of you call them?"
(adorable shot of Lucas and Ramsey with their gloved hands raised and baffled looks on their faces)
Lucas: "We've had our hands up."
Ramsey: "I can't dial with my ass."
Me: (dies laughing)
Ramsey: "You think maybe shooting a gun off in a motel room got their attention?"
Jake: (puts gun to Ramsey's neck) "Are you trying to be a smart mouth?"
Ramsey: (scared out of his mind) "Absolutely not."

Molly: (entering Nigel's lab) "What's the special today?"
Nigel: "Mistrust... with a side of insult."

Jake: "There's friggin' reporters out there now, too."
Lucas: "I... I can give you the name of a compound that will remove that dye without harming the money or your skin."
Jake: "Well, I'll tell you what, Mr. Scientist. I'm only gonna take one of you with me, so why don't you give me the name of that compound... and it will be you."
Lucas: "Why would I want to be your hostage?"
Jake: "Because the other one of you is going to die."
Lucas: (blurts) "Bioboxprin."
Ramsey: "Thanks, partner."
Jake: (chuckles)
Ramsey: "You know, murder will only ADD to your sentence if you get caught."
Jake: "If I get caught... I'm going away forever anyway."
Ramsey: "I've got a wife and eight kids!"
Jake: (looks him over) "Nobody that wears nice shoes... has 8 kids anymore."
Ramsey: (close to tears) "That's a good observation."
(phone rings)
Lucas: "You know, that's going to be the police. And if you're really planning on taking me with you, you should tell them over the phone, rather than through the window where they might be able to shoot you."
Jake: (turns his back to pick up the phone, brushing past the chair)
Lucas: (takes out his shock gun, winces, and shoots the chair)
Jake: (screams, sizzles, falls to the floor)
Ramsey: "What the hell happened?!?!"
Lucas: "Electric shock..."
Ramsey: "You were armed the whole time?!"
Lucas: "Dr. Caffrey's orders! The problem is, I calibrated these stun shells for alien infectees. The shock would kill a human, so I had to wait until he was touching something to partially conduct the electricity. I...I...I didn't want to risk it!"
Ramsey: (hops around in an angry little circle) "You didn't want to risk it! Oh, ho, ho, how THOUGHTFUL!!"
Officer using bullhorn: "Is everybody okay in there?"
Lucas: (calls out window) "T..t..threat neutralized, Officer! We're okay."
Ramsey: (cell phone rings, he answers) "Yeah?!"
Nigel: "Hey, why aren't you picking up your phone?"
Ramsey: "A psychopath had us at gunpoint."
Nigel: "Hahaha."

Cavennaugh: (sits down next to PI dressed as a priest) "Time for a confession, Father?"
PI: "Sorry, no." (takes out an earpiece and makes like he's leaving)
Cavennaugh: "Oh, it'll just take a minute."
PI: (starts walking away)
Cavennaugh: "Don't, don't..." (they start running, Cavennaugh tackles him to the ground)
PI: "Get off me!"
Cavennaugh: (looks in his Bible, there's equipment inside) "Oh, my bad. You were already listening to someone else!"

Nigel: "I owe you one for... believing in me."
Molly: "I need better than that, and you know it. You have to follow my protocols. I mean, you're supposed to mix up your routine, but you went to that diner every night? That's how you get spied on, or kidnapped, or worse."
Nigel: "I realize that." (sighs) "I don't know anyone in this town. I work all day and into the night... Hotel is claustrophobic, it's crawling with government goons... I went to this diner just to... breathe. Finally, I found somebody that could argue intelligently about... bullpen depth." (looks sheepish)
Molly: (smiles) "When I stopped hanging out with my friends, or uh, even returning their e-mails, they thought I had cancer or something. So, I convinced them I didn't... and now they think I'm seeing a married man." (shrugs) "And I let 'em."
Nigel: "It must be hard not to see them."
Molly: "Yeah, it is." (nods) "But this way I know an alien infectee isn't going to track me to my Tuesday night poker game and kill all of them."
Nigel: (nods) "Point taken."
Molly: "The protocols aren't my idea of a life either, but the alternatives are worse."
Nigel: (whispers) "I won't break them again."
Molly: "Good."

Jake: "You're really not FBI?"
Ramsey: (nods towards Lucas) "Do you think he could have made it through Quantico?"
Lucas: (gives him a look)
Jake: "I don't care. I'm not helping you."
Lucas: "Dude, we're trying to help YOU... okay? We don't have the virus, you do. And there's one thing we didn't tell you about it."
Jake: "What?"
Ramsey: "The virus, the thing that's been causing your dreams, could be fatal."
Jake: "You've gotta be KIDDING me. This sucks."

Eddie: "So, basically, I'm just the unluckiest bastard on the planet."
Ramsey: "Well, this week, anyway."

Lucas: "Uh, totally switching gears for a second... I know we handled ourselves as best we could, but I can't stop thinking about poor Eddie."
Ramsey: "Don't."
Lucas: "He put his life into that restaurant, and now... it's just gone. He lost it."
Ramsey: "I'm telling you, let it go."
Lucas: "You know, Ramsey, you can be a real cold-hearted bastard, you know that?"
Ramsey: (smiles)
Lucas: "I'm serious, dude. How would you feel if it were you?"
Ramsey: "Lucas..."
Lucas: "I mean, you're the first one to complain about how Threshold ruined your life..."
Ramsey: "Lucas, listen, Eddie's okay."
Lucas: "What?"
Ramsey: "Yeah, he's gonna be fine. Jake's real last name is Green. There was a $75,000 reward for his capture. I told the feds that Eddie turned him in to us."
Lucas: "Really?"
Ramsey: "Really. Eddie's selling his place. He said the additional reward money is gonna help him get a piece of land he wanted on Cape Cod."
Lucas: "You're kidding me!" (grins)
Ramsey: "Not this time."
Lucas: "I guess I owe you an apol..."
Ramsey: "Please... don't."
Lucas: "Wow. I went all action hero, and you turned into Mother Theresa. Guess we surprised ourselves."
Ramsey: "Okay, back to your science, Starsky."

Nigel: "A young woman is dead... because of us."
PI: I was just trying to make a living. Tell your bosses."
Nigel: "My bosses left your fate up to me. And I'm pressing charges - felony wiretapping."
PI: (looks scared, comes to the window of his cell) "Let's settle!"
Nigel: "Cops are on the way." (moves away)
PI: "Come on! Gimme a break!"
Nigel: (turns back, nasty) "Give you a break?! If you'd shown one GLIMMER of humanity when I told you someone died, I might have. Now, I've got a date with a dead cat. Tell Paula... I traded up." (walks away)

Molly: "The best they could hope for is us keeping them in lockup indefinitely."
JT: "Yeah. Yeah, remember that. And if it comes to it, I'm telling you now, I'd rather be dead. Anyone would."

*sigh* Awesome show. Btw, I plan on being Mrs. Fenway #4, so the rest of you ladies can just stay outta the way. ;)
