Covert Affairs: Season 3, Episode 16

Previously on Covert Affairs: Eyal is kidnapped, Megan is dead, Annie is mad and Auggie is  in love.


And now: Well, I seriously misjudged what kind of show this was, since, as it turns out, Eyal was never in real danger. It looks like he maybe got stabbed with pen? Anyway, Kahleed calls Annie and tells her that in exchange for Eyal's life he wants information on who the spies are in his dad's company and Annie is totally ready to give it to him. Okay, I definitely on team Eyal but Annie is the worst, the WORST main character ever. She would get twenty people killed to save one, she truly is the life ruiner. Anyway, first of all she needs to get the information. A friendly computer hacker tells her she has to get into the American embassy or consulate (are those the same things? I don't know) and hack some files. Annie isn't sure how to do this (again, is it really difficult to get into a consulate? Don't you just have to be a citizen of said country?) but the friendly hacker has a plan, she gets some goons to beat Annie up. She heads to the consulate and even the guy at the desk looks skeptical about her 'scenario'.

Over at Kahleed's House of Torture and Kidnapping, Kahleed tells Eyal that they are practically the same since they're both from the Middle East, I guess. Man, the sexiness level in this room is through the roof, Kahleed is one fine looking bad guy. However, this logic is boggling my mind a little bit. Eyal's mind is not boggled, however, he says that they are EXACTLY the same, since I guess they've both killed people or something. Kahleed looks confused.

Meanwhile, Auggie has fled Iraq and is in  Amsterdam where he reunites with Annie. He suggests that ratting on all their assets might not be the BEST idea ever. He has another idea.  I was only half paying attention at this point so I'm not sure what is plan is. Basically he heads to a head shop and gets some blanks, I think. The head shop owner says that this is a very strange request, but it doesn't seem that strange to me.  Annie calls Kahleed and tells him to meet her somewhere, as she as the file. It is a fake out though! The file is empty. Auggie crashes into Kahleed pretending to be a blind tourist and then Annie shows up and says that the file contains exactly how much Eyal is worth to her. That is, nothing. Man, that's gotta sting. Then she shoots him with the blanks. The three of them, Auggie, Annie and Eyal are reunited on a boat and they flee the scene. The whole time Auggie keeps trying to have " the talk"  with Annie, about how he's in love with her. Annie keeps giving him the look like " awwkwaaard".

After learning that Kahleed will be deported and then ignored by the CIA, Annie uses her skills of jumping to conclusions to decide that the CIA wants her to personally go after Kahleed. Dear CIA, please tell me there is no one actually like Annie in your agency, or heaven help us all. She goes after him but instead of killing him she has a better plan! Boom, this was actually smart on her part, something I can't say often. She shows him a file showing that his father actually had Megan killed and that's he's not really important and blah blah blah. He leaves with a wounded ego and Annie leaves with a boosted ego.

Eyal and Annie say goodbye, and they'll meet again and etc. Booooring. I'm sure some stuff also happened with the Henry Wilcox (heehee) and Arthur Campbell plotline buuuuuuuuuuut I don't care.

Back Stateside, Annie meets with Henry and he gives her a file with some super secret information and tells her he'd like her on his team. Annie says she's in and then heads home where she is about to peruse the file when Auggie shows up. Auggie decides that he's had it with trying to talk to Annie and goes straight for the boob grab. Uff, I know you're blind Auggie but that was FORWARD. They make out and I am confused. These two have zero sexual chemistry, this show needs to stop trying to make this happen.

Well overall a tacky, wonderful, badly acted and hilariously costumed season, although this finale was a bit weak...no cliffhanger or anything right?

Next up...I get caught up with Revenge. Can't wait! Also I share the ten things I learned from watching one season of The Bachelor!
