Annie is annoying with Simon (and Eyal and Ben) but I like the Simon storyline because of the mystery and danger. Annie and Simon as rogue agents could be fun assuming Annie stops being the worst spy ever. The endgame is probably Simon sacrificing himself heroically for Annie, ugh! Finally get some movement on Jai's "death" storyline. Joan/Arthur, I feel is filler.

This was such a scary episode!!! Annie and Simon are in love, and it's amazing that Annie doesn't seem to have realized it yet. And the bright red skirt! Gosh! what was she thinking?
Love Auggie. i do hope Jai is alright

I am with all of you in thinking that Annie made a stupid choice in wearing a red skirt to tail Simon...he had to know she was following him. But I also feel sorry for Simon because this can't end well for him or for Annie. Though they may be in love and have lots of chemistry, this can't last, and one or the other will have to betray each other. I agree with those who have said that he knows who Annie is and who she works for...I think he is just so smitten with her that he is making choices based on his heart, not his head, just like Annie is. And I also agree that Annie is becomming more arrogant and aggressive this season and it doesn't look good on her. I hope that Joan and Lena do duke it out, because I would put my money on Joan...she ROCKS!

I thought the same thing about the red skirt.
I also thought the same thing when Henry gave Auggie the safe house address. Wouldn't be surprised at all if Jai is alive. It's about time they addressed what was going on with Jai's death.
Annie, oh Annie.....what have you gotten yourself into??? As you've all said, this really can't end well.......for Annie or Simon.
I'm just throwing this out there, but I think they could have found a better looking guy to play Simon.........

@R I thought the same thing about the red skirt. Simon had to know she followed him.
@S Definitely. I've never been convinced that Jai is really dead.
@Martinelli Thank you.

@S - Yes, me. Somehow I don't believe he's dead. My guess is that he has faked his death to escape.

Carla - Excellent review, you have an A+ from me!
I loved this episode. This is the best episode so far. After the last boring one, we needed this, really needed this. All along I thought Simon is going to kill her. I've said before that he's not going to hesitate if time comes, he's going to break her neck in a split second and instead he cut his handler's neck. Does he have feelings for Annie?

Anyone else thinks that Jai may be at the safe house?

I felt Annie grew in some ways and was in denial in others. I was concerned about the red skirt as she I
Climbed the hill. What was she thinking? Annie is begini g to think with her heart, not a good sign. Simon will not meet a good end,

annie is an effing moron. you've got to be kidding me- OF COURSE she was going to fall in love with simon because she's the worst spy ever! It's kind of sexist- wasn't the whole point that men thought women couldn't sleep with guys on missions coz they fall in love with them? and then annie does just that. COME ON
Missa

R- I agree with you, Annie is out and out arrogant this season and I don't like it. It was nice to see her grow and get more experience slowly. Suddenly she thinks she's James Bond. And how many men has she slept with so far when she's been told that no one expects her too, I guess maybe she looking for an excuse? I just don't like where the writers are taking her character.

Keisha - I thought the same exact thing about Annie's wardrobe choices. A bright red skirt for spying - that doesn't make much sense to me and I'm just a civilian! :)
I think Annie is in total denial about how she feels about Simon. Hopefully when it comes down to it she will see that he's not really a good guy - he kills people among other things - and she'll do the right thing.
The one thing that has bugged me this season with Annie is how arrogant she seems. She thinks she can do EVERYTHING and she gets upset when people with way more experience question her. She's acted like a bratty teen too much.

This one was painful to watch, but a good episode! It really spotlight the dangers of "the honey trap" - and Annie is just in WAY over her head.
Really felt badly for Simon - he's in love with someone who is supposed to betray him. Furthermore, I would bet he knows EXACTLY who she is and who she works for - and doesn't care. The heart wants what the heart wants.
The audience now feels compassionate for Simon, since he killed his handler to protect Annie. This can't go well for any of us!

Great episode! It had me on the edge as well. I was shocked Simon killed his handler for Annie. I definitely think he's in love with her and hinted about it at the end at the airfield. I think Annie is in love with Simon as well, but it hasn't quite hit her yet. This ep is at the top of my list, as my fave of the season so far. I did find it funny that Annie was following Simon through the streets with a bright red skirt on...Really?! Lol. Can't wait to see where this story with Annie/Simon goes,
