Are we supposed to believe that, apart from Sydney and Nadia, APO has no other female agent trained and capable of going undercover? Writers, please. This isn’t even something hard to work around. They could’ve made this a clandestine mission, one they needed to keep off the records, therefore it would make sense to have Rachel, a person Sydney could trust, on the field, with Sydney as her mentor. Or, you know, Sydney, Jack and Dixon should’ve gone rogue by now since Prophet Five is highly dangerous and has people inside CIA. Lost opportunity, show.<br /><br />Leaving the plot mechanics aside, the episode is fun. Raymandy! Ha! Rachel Nichols nails it. And the final scene is so touching. A pregnant woman having her baby listen to the recorded voice of the deceased father? Man, that’s such a good bit of quiet drama.Lamounierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00225447169375363236noreply@blogger.com
