That's more like it! A great action-packed episode with some real drama to go with it. The conflicts between Tony and Nicholls, Gedge and Taylor, and Jack and Emerson were all really cool fights, and although I was sad to see Emerson go, his acting in that scene was awesome.

It's good to see that Renee and Jack are working together again, and this was a really interesting start to the episode (when Bill and Chloe picked her up). Jack and Renee have an ample amount of tension between them...has he really forgotten Audrey? She doesn't look quite as calm and collected as at the start of the season, though.

In amongst all this action there was some back story - particularly the news of Christopher Henderson's past involvement. It's good to hear this whole Tony being alive thing fleshed out. It is a difficult pill to swallow, and so the more realistic they can make it the better. Also I'm glad to hear Chloe's "stay at home mum" comment; it was a pretty major thing the end of last season to heard that Chloe was pregnant. It also casts hope on the fact that Chloe and Morris are probably still together and he is working for the family.

I still think the President has made the right call on this war thing and I wish that Ethan (and everyone else) would just shut up and fall into line. Their repeated arguments have got a little boring. However I don't think it will stop while Dubaku is still making attacks. Coming on to that, I thought the plane crash was weak; it was like a tiny dot on the picture. The production could have done something a lot more dramatic. Anyway I hope they don't do this whole 25th Amendment thing again this year, because that's got a little old.

I thought this was a really great episode with a good balance of drama and action. Hopefully this pattern will continue as the story charges on.
