And now: Truth facts! Everyone learns the truth about everything in this episode! We open with Annie searching for some espresso in Eyal's house. Just as she finds it, a parcel gets sent under her door. It's more intel from Eyal regarding some terrorist guy and his American girlfriend. Annie knows there's only one thing to do with such information so she sends a memo to everyone at the CIA. Just kidding, she tells Joan and Arthur. In a true case of "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" or whatever that expression is, Joan says they should sit on this intel since it isn't solid and Arthur thinks they should blow some shit up! Annie thinks that she can turn the American girlfriend, so she heads out to meet her. Annie is all straightforward about it and tells the American girlfriend that her boyfriend is a terrorist. The girlfriend is all "don't judge me, you're young and think you can have it all, but you can't". At this point I kind of like the girlfriend, she is speaking truth facts here for sure, but on the other hand she is dating a terrorist. Also Annie doesn't have much of a leg to stand on since she was also dating a baddie, right? Anyway she has the girlfriend call the terrorist so they can establish a trace but this girlfriend seriously lacks the ability to be subtle and spooks the shit out of her boyfriend. Although I guess terrorists must be easy to spook.
Meanwhile at Casa Auggie, my most hated character is back. Yes, I am speaking of Parker Man, I thought we were done with this bitch but I guess she just reappeared to seal the deal on how much I hate her. She shows up and Auggie is visibly shaken at the sight of her, or the "sight of her" as it were, but she is tactless and just asks for him to help her parents get the money they should be getting from the government. Auggie is not a jerk so he agrees to help and she gives him a lingering hug. Later in the episode, after Auggie has helped her, he asks her why she came to see him and she says that she wanted to see him. He says that that's not a very cool thing to say to an ex-boyfriend but she one-ups him and says "ex-FIANCE". Bitch please. Auggie kindly tells her to "gtfo", as it were and I am solidly on team Auggie. Dear writers of Covert Affairs, please do not bring this insufferable character back. Thank you.
The men at the CIA have had time to think about the information that Annie brought them and have and have made plans for the blowing up of the bad guys. They are looking at the map thingie in a dark basement room, ie: basically the set of every sci fi, or spy show in the last 40 years. Anyway, Joan is the unlikely voice of reason and says that maybe immediately attacking isn't the BEST course of action, and Annie pipes up that they could still get info from the girlfriend but there is just too much testosterone in the room so that shit gets bombed. However, terrorist man speeds away from the scene of the crime and Annie says "he's smart, he head for the populated areas". Well, no shit, Annie. Even I know that that would be the best course of action. Annie also, immediately knows that the girlfriend will be in danger so she heads to a theater to intercept her. Megan, the American girlfriend, is annoyed and tells Annie that she, Annie that is, enjoys ruining other people's lives and I kind of have to agree with her. She has so far ruined SEVERAL lives on this show to advance her own career. There is a high speed chase with some bad guy that Annie eventually chucks off a roof.
Back at Langley it's girl fight time! Considering I only watch this show to laugh at it and to admire the costume choices, this scene really annoyed me. I hate how mainstream television thinks it's impossible for women to work together and not be catty bitches. Anyway, where was I? Ah yes, Joan is questioning Annie about whether she should be so trusting with Eyal (answer: no) and Annie gets mad and says that at least Eyal has been there for her, ie: he rescued her from jail unlike Joan. Annie needs to shut the fuck up. If I recall correctly, Annie was told to stay out of trouble because the CIA couldn't rescue her if she went on this mission. Instead of civilly telling her this though, the CIA Headquarters become Brokeback Mountain headquarters except that Joan totally can quit Annie. She's had it with this biznatch and tells her that "she is done with her". I lol-ed a lot in this scene because it was so Jr. High!
Meanwhile in the boring subplot, Arthur has totally caught on to the fact that something is up with Joan, he tells her that he will be checking into a hotel (rich people problems) and she tells him that it isn't what he thinks. I guess she tells him the truth but they are interrupted by Annie who has noticed that one of the photos she used as evidence was doctored. Way to notice that at the end of the episode, Annie! Basically the CIA is going to be in the merde, as Gordon Ramsay would say. Joan tells Annie that Eyal played her and while I don't think that's the case, I do think Annie should be more careful about who she trusts. Also I did not really enjoy her pant suit in this episode....where are her ridiculous mini skirts? That's the shit I really want to see.
