24: Episode 20

We are finally rounding the corner to the home stretch of season 7. There are only four more hours left until it’s all over, which is what made this hour a little strange.

Recap: After going into spasms last week due to his illness, Jack comes around enough to tell Renee that they need to find Tony. Meanwhile Tony meets with Galvez to get the last remaining canister. Galvez doesn’t cooperate so Tony kills him and finds where he hid the canister. Cara, the woman posing as Jonas Hodges’ attorney in the last hour, shows up and they decide not to hand the canister over to the people they are working for. She then has a conference with the people in the group she is working for, but everyone’s voice is disguised. After some coercion, they vote to go ahead with Tony’s plan to use the weapon immediately rather than waiting several months.

While Tim Woods briefs the President on the most recent actions of Jonas Hogdes, Jack and Renee call to tell her about Tony. They decide that Jack will offer Jonas proof of death in exchange for information on who is behind the attacks. Of course Olivia has a problem with offering freedom to the man who killed her brother, but the President moves forward as she tries to do what’s best for the country.

So Jack questions Jonas but he swears he doesn’t know any names, even after Jack threatens to expose him. Jonas explains that the plan was to coordinate attacks on American soil so that the government would be forced to bring in this group to help bolster the military, while blaming the attacks on American enemies. 

The decision is made to re-commission old CTU servers that were shut down by Senator Mayer. The only person Jack trusts to do what needs to be done is Chloe, so he calls her and she agrees to leave her family behind and come in. After a briefing at the FBI which doesn’t include very much useful information, Chloe arrives. Jack gets her up to speed on the situation with Tony and the canister. She hesitantly agrees that she can do what needs to be done, though she has a hard time believing that Tony has done what he has. 

While she starts her work on the servers Janis continues to complain and disagree with what is going on. This causes Jack to snap. He screams at Janis saying that the servers were re-commissioned by President Palmer. After he calms down and walks away Chloe becomes very confused as she has not been told about Jack’s sickness.

Tony and Cara approach the apartment of Jibraan Al-Zarian, the young man that they intend to lay the blame on for the coming attack. Even though he has no connection with terrorists, they plan to fabricate evidence that will make the authorities believe he did it. After the power is cut in the apartment, Tony, Cara, and two others enter and take out Jibraan’s brother. Tony then takes Jibraan hostage as the hour comes to a close.

Review: By all counts this was a solid hour of 24. The problem is that it felt disjointed and misplaced. It seemed like the natural flow that typically is present in the show wasn’t there. Also, there are only four episodes left. I felt like this week was going to be a real turning point where everything gets ramped up in preparation for the finale. It wasn’t a bad episode, but it didn’t create that feeling of imminent danger that needs to be there at the end of a season. 

It’s nice to see everyone rally behind Jack to hunt down Tony. It would have been a real pain if they didn’t believe him until it was too late. Tony continues down a darker and darker path. His killing of Galvez was especially brutal and was evidence that he seems to have no good intentions in this situation. 

The biggest moment of the night, especially for long time viewers of 24, was when Jack blew up at Janis. Making him crack like that, thinking he is back in the Palmer administration really brought home the seriousness of his illness as well as the memories for us of Palmer and what a great character he was. 

• The argument between President Taylor and Olivia about Jonas Hodges’ freedom was really well done. The President has been struggling all day with choosing between her family and her country and she is doing a good job overall.
• Do you wish Olivia and her little secret phone calls would go away as much as I do? She is a lot like Sherry Palmer and I don’t like it. What do you think she is going to tell the man she is meeting in the next hour?
• Ok, it’s looking less and less likely that Jack will get any treatment for his illness. So what are your predictions? Will he die? Will it be this season or next? I have a bad feeling that he won’t make it to season 8.

The Office: Broke

If you’ve been reading my reviews of The Office, you know how much I’ve been enjoying the plot involving the Michael Scott Paper Company. And even though the company did see some small victories, I think it’s safe to say it couldn’t last forever. That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, it saddens me greatly to announce the passing of one of the greatest (and by that I mean smallest and most short lived) paper companies ever…the Michael Scott Paper Company.

With that out of the way, let’s move on. Considering how much I enjoyed the last handful of episodes overall, I’m happy to see everyone coming back to Dunder Mifflin. As I mentioned last week, the split was causing us to lose time with the wonderful supporting cast, so hopefully we’ll get to catch up with them. 

Watching Michael in negotiations to buy out his company reminded me of when he had to answer to corporate about his relationship with Jan. I was on the edge of my seat wondering if he would crack or if he would pull through. You could really see the fear in Pam’s eyes. $60,000 sounded like a great offer but Michael wanted more, and he got it.

It should be interesting to see Pam in her new role at Dunder Mifflin. I think she’ll do really well in sales. I have to wonder if Ryan will stick around though. Also, CHARLES IS GONE!! Yeah, I’m happy about that. Finally some life can be breathed back into the office. I really loved how he got a taste of his own medicine when Michael didn’t allow him any last words.

I think the show continues to head in the right direction, so I’m excited to see what happens next. I’m ready to see more of Creed, Stanley, Phyllis, Kevin, and all the others. 

Best quote of the night (I apologize in advance): ”These are our demands. This is what we want. Our balls are in your court.” – Michael

24: Episode 19

Recap:

Last week was the big revelation that Tony isn’t all sunshine and butterflies, so I was on the edge of my seat to get some more information on what he’s up to. This week we find him at the scene of Larry’s death where he is trying to coordinate the safe escape of himself, Galvez, and the last canister of the deadly bioweapon. Tony tells Galvez to hide and keep the canister safe as it is worth a lot of money to whoever Tony is working for. He then shoots himself to make it look like he and Larry were ambushed. 

At the FBI Renee receives a phone call the the field notifying her of Larry’s death. She becomes very emotional but has to hide it quickly as she is now the ranking agent in charge and needs to make decisions on how to deal with the missing canister. As she assembles a team to move in on the suspect, Jack is being debriefed on the day’s events. He is clearly having trouble as the infection begins to take a stronger hold on his memory. He notices all the commotion outside the debriefing room and after finding out what has happened to Larry he tells Renee he is coming along.

Back at the White House, a woman who is posing as Hodges’ attorney arrives and is granted clearance. She meets with Hodges and they discuss how there is some kind of organization above Starkwood who think he has gone mad with his threat of attacking with the bioweapon. He may have exposed them and knows too much. In an effort to contain the damage to whoever is behind all of this, she gives Hodges a pill that will send him into cardiac arrest, making it look like he died a natural death, and keeping the legacy of his work at Starkwood intact. Once the White House guards come to move Hodges for interrogation, the woman makes a phone call, discussing if Tony can keep the canister safe. She assures the man on the other end that Tony will come through for them. During Hodges’ transportation to the FBI he takes the pill and goes into cardiac arrest.

With Galvez in hiding, Tony advises him of the FBI’s plans to sweep the area and tells him to set C – 4 charges in an empty building and find a way to lure them in. Just then, Renee and Jack arrive in a helicopter. After seeing Larry’s body, Jack immediately notices something doesn’t add up with Tony’s story and Larry’s wounds. Jack correctly figures out that Galvez is working with someone, but doesn’t yet know who it is.

After Galvez contacts the FBI, pretending he is an agent who has a visual on the suspect, a team heads into the abandoned building that is rigged with explosives. Jack stays behind to monitor the situation and notices that the position of the agent claiming to see Galvez is not in the building. He orders everyone to get out just as the building explodes. In the resulting confusion Tony helps Galvez get away in an ambulance. Once Jack finds Renee they realize that whoever did this knew their sweep pattern. Jack then calls the agent who was debriefing him earlier who says that the man Tony claimed gave intel about the White House attack isn’t dead like Tony said. 

Jack and Tony finally come face to face now that Jack suspects him. Jack threatens to shoot him if he is lying about what’s going on. Tony tries to cover his tracks but Jack remains suspicious. Suddenly Jack is overtaken by his sickness and falls to the ground. Tony has stolen his medication and just as he is about to shoot him, a medical team arrives to help Jack. 

Review:

In the middle of filming this season of 24, the production was halted after episode 18 so that the writers could rework the last few episodes. So I was looking forward to this week’s hour to see what direction things went in and if I could see a major shift in plot. I think if I hadn’t read about the break in filming, I wouldn’t have been able to tell anything ever happened. 

This was a pretty intense hour of 24. I really enjoyed the set up and execution of the plot with Galvez blowing up the building. Even though I was confident they wouldn’t kill Renee in the explosion, I was still on edge wondering how things would turn out. 

It’s been hard watching Jack go downhill so quickly. I really didn’t expect that situation to go this way. I thought for sure there would be some hope of a cure by now. I’m starting to think they might actually kill Jack this season. The revelation that he has a grand daughter (named Terri after his wife) made his sickness especially difficult to witness. 

My biggest disappointment was that I didn’t feel like we were given enough information on what Tony’s motivations are. Why is he bad? With that being said, his confrontation with Jack was really great. It’s been far too long since we’ve seen Jack go off like that. When Tony killed Larry I felt weird about it, but when Tony stood over Jack and prepared to shoot him I felt like we have lost all hope for him. I thought maybe he was doing bad things with good intentions, that he was just misled. Now I’m convinced he has no good intentions. How could he intend to kill Jack? For anyone who has followed the show from the beginning, that scene held a lot of weight considering the long history that those two have with each other. But what is it that is pushing Tony this far? We have yet to find out the complete answer. 

I think the writers of the show have done a great job as we inch closer to the finale. The final canister is still out there but it’s actually the last thing I care about. Instead I’m wrapped up in what will happen to these great characters we’ve gotten to know over the course of the season, both good and bad. That’s what makes this show really stands above most others.

So what did you think of Jack and Tony’s confrontation? Where could this all be headed? Let’s hear what you have to say.

The Office: Heavy Competition

I’ve really been enjoying The Office since Michael left Dunder Mifflin to start the Michael Scott Paper Company, that is until this week. I liked the idea behind the episode, I just didn’t find it that funny or interesting.

Michael decided to use Dwight to get inside information about Dunder Mifflin. Then Dwight betrayed Michael by bringing Charles to one of their secret meetings which set off an all out feud between the two in a client stealing war. 

The secondary story was quite strange and I never fully understood what was going on. Jim and Andy were having weird exchanges after Andy tried to help Jim and Pam with some wedding ideas. The story line tipped the weird scales when Jim was shown crying on Andy’s shoulder. Very odd, not very funny. 

There were a few funny moments in the show. After Charles enforced a new dress code at Dunder Mifflin, Dwight spent the whole episode trying to get used to wearing a long sleeve shirt. That led to a nice interview with Dwight about how he excelled in the chaos when Michael was the boss. Also, was anyone else surprised at how quickly Dwight stripped off all his clothes when Michael accused him of wearing a wire to a secret meeting?

I loved hearing the song by Andy’s a cappella group. His “bass” solo was the stuff dreams are made of. But seriously, it was probably one of the funnier moments of the night. I think Jim and Pam made the right choice in not hiring them for $9,000. 

After Dwight broke into Michael’s office and stole his contact information the two salesmen battled it out to one up each other. It was fun to see Michael fighting to make his company get ahead. The fact that Dwight’s stolen information messed up his chances at a sale was great. Of course Michael had everything color coded to tell him what not to talk about.

Although there were some good moments, most of the night was made up of good ideas that didn’t result in a funny, heartfelt, or awkward episode. Those are the things that make this show great. I’m excited to see Michael getting some results and pushing forward with his company. Watching him compete with Dunder Mifflin should provide a lot of intense moments. As much as I love seeing Michael start his company, I miss the other characters back at the office and I hope we don’t lose touch with them as the season comes to a close over the next few weeks.

As usual, let me know what you thought in the comments. Did you think this week was a good episode? What do you think of the Michael Scott Paper Company and it’s chances of defeating the mighty Dunder Mifflin?

24: Episode 18

Well, well, well, what an interesting hour that was. It was full of twist and turns so lets get right to it.

Recap: The night starts off with Tony still on his own at Starkwood. He happens to come across a truck full of fuel that he thinks is being used for surface to surface missiles. Jack talks to the President and calls her out on why she aborted the air strike and asks her permission to blow up the fuel tanks. Instead of giving him permission outright, she simply implies that she is okay with it so that if things go wrong she can honestly say she didn’t order the actions. Jack then tells Tony to go for it. 

At the White House Jonas Hodges arrives for his face to face meeting with President Taylor. We quickly find out that he is there to blackmail the President. He wants Starkwood to become an official part of the U.S. military and to have a seat at the President’s table. She catches on right away what he is up to and tries her best to stall for time as she knows what Tony is trying to do.

After Tony is informed that he can go ahead with the mission, he takes out one of the men fueling the truck and forces the other to lead him to the fuel tanks. There is one other guard who has gone on patrol but he doesn’t seem to be near the situation. Once Tony is able to set the charges he comes back above ground where he gets attacked by another guard. In the fight he loses the detonator and one of the guards sets off the alarm. The technicians who are in charge of the missiles have standing orders to fire them if any alarms go off. As they begin the launch sequence, Tony fights off the two guards and fumbles for the detonator which seems just outside his reach. Finally, as the doors to the missiles opens for launch, he gets ahold of the detonator and as he runs away he causes a huge explosion. Larry sees the explosion and orders his men to move in. 

As word reaches the White House that the mission was a success, President Taylor orders the arrest of Jonas Hodges and Greg Seaton. As they are being taken away Hodges says that it’s not over and that this whole thing is much bigger than him. When the President asks him to explain, he of course doesn’t give any real answers. Once Hodges is gone, President Taylor calls Jack to thank him for what he’s done. While Jack is asking her to consider Tony’s work throughout the day when he is tried for his crimes, he stops as he forgets what he is saying and looks very disoriented. They end the phone call and Jack goes to see the doctor who tells him that memory loss is a normal symptom of his sickness and that unfortunately she can’t do anything more to help.

As Jack leaves the doctor’s office, he tells Renee that he needs to be debriefed on the events of the day before the disease takes all his memories. That’s when she decides to tell him that his daughter has arrived. Jack flies into a rage until Renee tells him that Kim has been trying to track him down all day. After he calms down he decides to go meet her. They have an emotional exchange of apologies for past wrongs that they are both guilty of. Jack tells her that it isn’t worth the risk to her to go through with the experimental treatments since he’s likely to die anyway. After he starts to feel pain from being sick, they say their goodbyes and Kim leaves.

Back at Starkwood, the guard who went out on a patrol while Tony placed the C-4 charges shows up and kills two FBI agents, but not before Larry is informed that this guy has one remaining canister of the bioweapon. He flees in an FBI vehicle as Larry and Tony go on the chase in a helicopter. They finally track him down and land. Immediately the pilot is shot, so Tony and Larry jump out and run for cover as they come under gunfire. Larry, while out of cover, gets shot in the chest. As Tony leans over him to help, Larry tells him that the Starkwood guard is right behind him. The guard unexpectedly lowers his weapon as Tony covers Larry’s mouth and kills him

Review: Where do I even begin? The episode was good and bad all at the same time. It was obvious something was up with Tony through almost the whole episode. It seemed strange that there was a missing guard while he was placing the charges who didn’t notice anything that was going on. Then while Tony and Larry were in the helicopter Tony was making these weird faces that obviously meant something wasn’t right. Of course I didn’t think he would do what he did, so I’m still a little shocked. 

When Jack found out that Kim was at the FBI I thought he might do something awful to Renee. He looked like he was on the verge of killing her. The crazy thing about Jack right now is that, even more than before, he truly has nothing left to lose. As much as we all dislike Kim’s character, her meeting with her father was quite emotional. It was nice to see him connect with her in such a terrible situation. 

What do you think Jonas meant when he said there’s more to this than him? We’ve heard villains say that a thousand times on this show. I was actually kind of let down to hear him say that. I was happy to not have a “bad guy” for the rest of the season and just let Jack’s sickness play out. Do you think he was referring to Tony or is there something more? I don’t think it stops with Tony. 

• So Tony starts as a bad guy who turns out to be a good guy, but really in the end is a bad guy. I’m really not sure about this. I have to say I’m not at all surprised by this turn of events. It felt like they lost sight of why Tony was back in show long ago and this is just a cheap twist to justify his return.
• President Taylor is beginning to look really frazzled. I noticed it especially after watching the “Previously on 24…” thing at the beginning. I wonder if she’ll crack before this is all over.
• Did Kim leave for good when she left Jack? I doubt it. I think she will go through with the treatments without Jack knowing it. Otherwise he’s dead, right?

As usual let me know your thoughts. If you’ve read spoilers please don’t post them, but I’d love to hear your theories and predictions on where this is all headed. We’re on the home stretch now.

Parks and Recreation: Make My Pit a Park

I was really looking forward to seeing the first episode of Parks and Recreation. From the previews on NBC it looked like it was similar enough to The Office to be funny, but unique enough to make me want to watch. 

The plot revolved around Leslie Knope attempting to keep her promise to fill in a dangerous pit in the community and turn it into a park complete with basketball courts, football fields, tennis courts, an amphitheater, etc. (at least she isn’t afraid to think big) after Ann Perkins complains that her boyfriend fell into the pit and broke both his legs.

While it may share a few too many similarities with The Office (including a cast member), I think it will find it’s own voice as it continues. Amy Poehler as Leslie Knope was clearly the Michael Scott equivalent, but she wasn’t a total copy. She believes in government and puts herself right up there with Hilary Clinton and Sarah Palin. While there were some very predictable moments like her excitement for the not so great turnout at the town meeting, there were some genuinely funny moments. Leslie putting a “neck brace” on a after she supposedly broke her clavicle was hilarious. Her constantly nagging her boss to form a sub-committee to create a park where a giant pit now sits was great.

The supporting cast seems strong enough for a first episode. It’s easy to compare them all to their equivalent characters from the Office, but again I think they will settle in to what makes them unique once we get to know them more and they get deeper into the show. 

Overall I thought it was a really strong premiere and I’m looking forward to watching it evolve away from The Office into it’s own entity. Amy Poehler is really funny so I think she’ll have no trouble carrying a show like this. What did you think? Was it too similar to The Office? Let me know.

The Office: The Michael Scott Paper Company

The second of two episodes of The Office this week picks up right where we left off. With the dream team assembled it is now time to find office space since Michael is prohibited from running a business out of his condo. Where do they end up? The same building as Dunder Mifflin of course. So with Michael, Pam, and Ryan all packed into a storage closet sized office, the Michael Scott Paper Company is officially in business.

Not long after Andy and Dwight become friends (since their relationships with Angela have ended) they look to be heading down a similar path with the new receptionist at Dunder Mifflin. Dwight’s tale of the office being haunted was funny, but his and Andy’s acoustic guitar/banjo duel was epic. I love that the new girl is actually impressed by their tactics. 

Speaking of tactics, Jim is trying hard to keep Charles happy, but he keeps coming up short. Jim spent the whole episode trying to understand what a rundown was. It was fun watching him try to figure out what he was supposed to be doing. I wonder how long he’ll keep trying to impress Charles before he goes back to his old ways.

If I asked you what the first thing a new company should do to get clients would be, what would you say? If you said they should hold a pancake luncheon in the parking lot (with pancakes shaped like giant sheets of paper) then you’d be absolutely correct! And what pancake luncheon would be complete without Creed trying to steal a jacket full of them? Not only did I love that this was Michael’s great idea to start things off (with 792 of 800 eVites still undecided) but it actually worked. Thanks to Pam, they got their first order of paper after she fashioned a business card from a scrap piece of paper. 

The Office is on a roll and I’m hopeful it will continue at least until the season finale. The two episodes this week were full of laughs, awkwardness, and heartfelt moments, and I really enjoyed it. What did you think of it all? Let me know in the comments.

The Office: Dream Team

The Michael Scott Paper Company looks like it might actually make it off the ground. With Pam by his side, Michael spends this episode putting together his dream team of employees, a.k.a. ex Dunder Mifflin employees and Vikram from the call centre Michael worked at for a bit. 

Things got off to a funny start as their first morning on the new job included a gigantic breakfast, spilled eggs, and Michael’s indecent exposure. Pam and Michael make a wonderful team and I can’t wait to see where this story line goes. I loved watching them keep each other in check. First Pam gives Michael the advice he needed to get started in the morning with her lists, then Michael returned the favor when Pam freaked out about walking away from her real job. I was quite surprised to see the excitement I felt when Pam left the office to go with Michael continue as they try to build the Michael Scott Paper Company.

Back at Dunder Mifflin, Charles continues to rule with an iron fist, that is until he starts talking about his favorite sport, soccer. After Andy tries sucking up to Charles by pretending to know something about the sport, the entire office decides they all love soccer. While Stanley tries to carry a conversation about it using index cards for help, Dwight (in a great reversal of roles) puts Jim in an awkward situation by making it seem like he can play soccer too. Of course this leads to an after hours soccer match similar to the office basketball game of season one. There weren’t a whole lot of funny moments at Dunder Mifflin in this episode, though I’ll admit to a cheap laugh when Phyllis took the soccer ball to the face.

I can’t wait to see what happens next as Michael and Pam develop the new paper company. It’s been a refreshing change for the show. I feel like the season has just begun even though it is coming to a close. Luckily I don’t have to wait long to see what happens next as there are two episodes this week.

24: Episode 17

As we pass the midnight hour and head toward the end of season 7, things look like they are picking up. This was a better episode than the last few and I am now excited again to see where this could all go.

Recap: As always, the show picked up right where it left off last week. Larry and Tony are involved in a stand off with Starkwood soldiers and are trying to find a way out of the situation. After Jack finds a contact within Starkwood, Douglas Knowles, it is decided that Tony should stay behind to look for the bioweapons with his help. Larry creates a diversion while Tony slips away. Once Tony meets up with Douglas they head towards the building where the weapons are being held. As they try to gain access to the building, Starkwood security comes a little too close, so Knowles goes out to talk to them while Tony heads inside. The guards don’t buy Knowles’ story about why is in a restricted area so they detain him for questioning by Jonas Hodges. 

Olivia, the acting Chief of Staff, receives a phone call from a reporter who wants to break the story about weapons of mass destruction based on a source he has. She decides to meet with him at his hotel and takes Aaron with her. Once at the hotel Aaron is left in the hall as Olivia goes into the hotel room. The reporter convinces her to sleep with him in exchange for killing the story. Later he decides he will run it anyway, but Olivia recorded the whole affair on her phone and threatened to release it if he ever tried to blackmail her again. 

At the FBI, Jack, Renee, and Janis are all behind the scenes helping Tony navigate his way through Starkwood. Jack’s symptoms from his exposure to the bioweapons start to escalate and he goes into what looks like a seizure and falls down as Renee rushes over to help.

Hodges arrives at his office where Knowles is being kept. Of course he wants to know what is going on, why he is being detained by his own company. Hodges confesses everything to him. He says that Starkwood have aided the government countless times and no one has ever questioned his methods, but now that they are questioning them, he is angry. After Knowles tries to talk some sense into him, Hodges beats him and throws him over the balcony to the floor below. As he attempts to clean the blood off his shirt (with ice water…) he finds out the government has sent fighter jets to their location so he decides to set up a call with the President.

The medical department at the FBI tells Jack he needs to take an injection every two hours to keep the symptoms at bay since things seem to be progressing quickly. He is told about a potential treatment using stem cells, but the only donor who could help him would be his daughter Kim. Jack decides not to contact her.

Back at Starkwood Tony heads deep underground where he finally sees the WMD’s. Jack confirms that they are the canisters he was exposed to and advised Tony to get out as quickly as possible before the air strike occurs. 

At the White House, President Taylor is discussing the air strike with Admiral Smith when she is told she has a private phone call from Jonas Hodges. Hodges informs her that he has missiles ready to be launched on US soil if she does not turn away the air strike. She runs back to Admiral Smith demanding he abort the mission. Of course he and everyone else in the room don’t know what is going on but they do what the President asks. Hodges wants a private meeting with the President at the White House within the hour.

Review: Wow, what an episode! In some ways it was great and in other ways it was really frustrating. I was surprised at how quickly the standoff between Starkwood and the FBI came to an end. I thought Larry might pull a Bill and sacrifice himself to give Tony the chance to get away. Apparently that wasn’t necessary.

It was a lot of fun watching Tony make his way through Starkwood. He finally got some decent screen time doing something cool. I found it strange at first, having Tony in the field and Jack back at the office, but it seemed to work in this case. 

I’m glad we were given a bit more on Jonas Hodges. For me at least, he is beginning to take shape as a decent villain. Hopefully it’s not too little too late. I loved his conversation with the President about the missiles. It takes a lot of guts to give orders to the President. I was a little surprised how willing she was to comply.

I think this is the first week ever where I wasn’t completely bored with Olivia’s plot line. And no, it wasn’t because she slept with someone, I just loved how she outsmarted that reporter and can now leave that whole situation behind.

 

• Do you think Jonas will actually launch the missiles or will something else take over as the threat?
• Did Chloe go home with Morris? I don’t remember her leaving but she must have. It’s too bad if she is gone, I would have enjoyed seeing her team up with Janis. 
• Congratulations to Trae for successfully guessing how Jack would find a cure for his sickness in the comments last week. I don’t know how you knew that would happen, but you were right. Apparently Kim is coming back again. 
• Seriously Jonas, trying to remove a blood stain with water? Come on.

 

So what were your thoughts on this hour? What do you all think will happen next? Let’s hear your theories no matter how crazy.
