Covert Affairs-Season 3, Episode 5

Previously on Covert Affairs: Eyal and Annie, meet, flirt, drink, make out. Auggie breaks a beer bottle on someone's head! Go Auggie!

And Now: Auggie is a hot mess in his jail cell when Arthur arrives to comfort  pour some lemon juice on the paper cut that is now Auggie's life. He gives a sermon about responsibility and unceremoniously sends Auggie back to the DPD to be reunited with Annie and Joan, those of the of ill suited work attire. Annie, meanwhile, approaches Lena saying she has a great plan to 'get closer to Simon'. Girlfriend is falling for this bad guy and Lena is onto her! However, Joan has other plans! Back in the DPD Annie runs into Auggie, dressed in his usual nerd attire of a sweater vest and tie but now with bruised knuckles. He claims he is fine, but Annie is skeptical, but not for too long because she's got other agents to show up! Turns out there are problems in the Middle Eastern lands, like usual, and since Annie is the only agent in the entire CIA that gets to go anywhere she is shipped off to Israel where she is greeted by Eyal (Oded Fehr). Yes! I have the biggest crush on Oded Fehr so I'm always happy when he makes a guest appearance. They go for dinner and discuss some mysterious fellow who is up to know good because HE TAKES WALKS IN THE AFTERNOON. This is super suspicious. So they invite him to lunch and tell him they have a job opportunity. If this guy is up to no good he's doing a terrible job and spends the whole lunch looking twitchy.  He says he has a girlfriend in Israel but Eyal is all "nuh-uh". Annie, however totally believes him because she's Annie. They go back to their safe house or whatever to spy on their mysterious fellow, Isaac.  He calls his girlfriend and tells her he got a job offer and then goes to make dinner. Both Annie and Eyal leap to ridiculous conclusions. Annie suggests his girlfriend is a spy and he doesn't know he's up to no-good. Eyal counters with his suggestion that he's calling his handler (or whatever they call them) and the message is coded. Annie, as usual, decides she knows what's best because she's American, y'all and a fellow American COULDN'T BE UP TO NO GOOD. She could, you know, attempt diplomacy since she is in a land that is not American, but not on this show! Eyal however tells her to stand down because he's got orders to spy on her and her field techniques. Finally, someone has realised that Annie's spy skills are as about as good as Don Draper's fidelity skills. Back in Washington Auggie goes to some CIA appointed therapy where he antagonizes his psychologist for being single and wearing high heels.

Back in Israel, Annie meets Isaac to pump him for information vis a vis his girlfriend, while Eyal sits at the next table and watches them with his binoculars. Ha! Suddenly, bombs! Guns! High speed chase! Annie and Eyal round up Isaac and after Annie gives him an ill advised pep talk he concludes that his girlfriend is a spy. I can't believe Annie was right, actually I can, she is the main character after all. Isaac agrees to work for them and rounds up his girlfriend who is chased down by Eyal and Annie. Typical Covert Affairs fare. Before she heads back to America, Annie receives a package (OOER) from Eyal filled with scandalous pictures of her and Simon (and I assume some information about him) and just because she's Annie she gives Simon a booty call.

Another solid, and by solid I mean, hilarious, Covert Affairs episode.
