NONONONONONONO to Josh and Donna, damn it. I’ve said it all season, so I felt the need to lead with that one. Josh and Amy? Oh hell yes. Amy and Donna? Sure, why not. Josh and Donna. No!
Since DC is a quick drive from New York, I’m saying the terror cell that went missing took Zoey and is going to use her to force the pres into fessing up about Sharif and, possibly, turn himself over to UN jurisdiction for possible breach of international law.
Leo would make a great VP, but he’d have a hard time getting confirmed, since it’s likely the painkiller addiction in addition to the alcoholism would come up. If you remember, Jed thought Leo was talking about running for the nomination when Leo first brought the idea to him in NH, and Jed told him the same thing.
Charlie keeps getting stronger and stronger. I’ve really come to like this guy over the last couple seasons in particular.
I liked that Andi called Toby out on why she doesn’t want to marry him again, even in the face of his grand gesture. That took class, and even more real love for the guy than a straight out “yes” would have. I also liked how stricken Toby was. Maybe the doctor and take a bit of the stick out of his ass while he’s taking the spawn out of Andi.
Toby was really cool, though, when he wrapped his hand and told her to bit that when it hurt. That was oddly touching.
I also really liked how convincing the top SS guy with his nervousness in telling Leo Zoey got gotten. His range of fear, nervousness and shame were all very tightly nailed.
I wasn’t too convinced on the whole Danny, CJ, Leo thing, but maybe that’s just because as an ex-reporter I don’t buy that he’d give them that much lead time before the story ran in the first place, much less let them talk him into an additional 72 hours without clearing it with his editor first. Then again, he is a lovestruck putz where the lovely Ms. Craig is concerned
All in all, a solid episode, and I’m already way overpsyched for next week.
