The second season of Human Target begins right where last season left off.  Winston is being held hostage by Chance’s former boss, who is after one thingL his infamous book.  Chance is somehow able to save his friend and immediately decides to take a much needed hiatus.

But before we get to this week’s plot, I must ask one very important question:

What happened to the storyline that ended season one?  Where is Chance’s old boss?  What great secrets were in the book that he was after?  I was a bit disappointed that the previous story was completely dropped without any proper conclusion.  Do you think Chance's old boss will ever seek retribution for losing his hand

In the beginning of "Ilsa Pucci," Chance decides to leave Winston and his job to do a little soul searching.  He's tired of constantly putting his dear friend’s life on the line.  He just needs a break!

Where does the man of the hour end up?  Meditating in an Ashram for months.  Thankfully, Ilsa Pucci shows up to break Chance’s trance and things go back as they should be.

Pucci then hires Chance to figure out who killed her husband and also to protect her.  At first things don’t go exactly as Chance would like, but by the end Chance is able to save the day. 

Chance even acquires a new benefactor, the gorgeous Mrs. Pucci herself.  She wants to give Chance the ability to help people all over the world.  With her power and wealth, we see great things ahead for Chance and his team.  This new endless supply of money and power should definitely make for an entertaining second season.

And now that Mrs. Pucci is a widow, we predict things heating up quickly between her and Chance.  Is she the partner and lover Chance has been waiting for since Katherine’s death? 

One thing is for certain, if you are looking for a wild, entertaining hour of television you have come to the right place.  Human Target might not have the greatest storylines, but it definitely has the action and adventure you crave. 

Chance isn’t afraid to jump out of a twelve-story building into a canal of water or lay his life on the line for someone he hardly knows.  He is simply a hero, willing to do whatever it takes to save the day. 

Until next week, here are a few of our favorite Human Target quotes to keep you smiling:
