Original Air Date: 10/30/11
Okay, have I mentioned it enough yet? I HATE Ginny! Even if Dean WASN'T going to have a thing with Colette, did he have to pick Ginny? Ew. Not only is she some other man's whore, she's just obnoxious. We open up with her and Dean, apparently continuing to sleep...er sneak around behind Mr. Henson's back. Why? Oh God, I don't know. Mr. Henson can have her.
Now, Miss Maggie. She is coming VERY close to losing her job due to her stunt at the weigh in...along with other such violations she's committed in the past. So the girl has a little problem with authority. Don't we all? Anyway, she is about to be grounded from the Rio flight, but reminds her superiors that she is fluent in Portuguese and replacing her last minute would be close to impossible. She manages to stay on the flight, but that doesn't mean she is off the hook!
Kate however, IS grounded due to missing vaccination records. She realizes that Richard is the reason for the error in paperwork. When she goes to meet him, she is given her next assignment, spying on Niko. The two seem to have formed quite the relationship. (And really, I think they are just adorable) But Richard needs to know what side he's on and what he plans to do upon his return to Yugoslavia. Kate is hesitant to take the assignment, because she cares about Niko, but who can say no to Richard?
Remember how Laura was on the cover of LIFE Magazine? Well, now they want to do a follow up. Our Laura is being followed around by a pesky photographer, who wants her to model...but look natural. It's hard to hide, when you're on a plane with nowhere to go! Maggie comes to her aid, but part of me is wondering if she isn't trying to get a little PR for herself as well... She talks the photographer into following them around Rio instead of making Laura nervous on the plane.
Okay, so I keep mentioning how much I can't stand Ginny. As it turns out, she's made her way onto this flight too! A surprised Dean asks why she forgot to mention it when they were together the night before. He seems a bit irritated with her. She hangs out in the cockpit for a portion of the flight, and the longer she is in there, the more annoyed Dean looks. What is on his mind? When they get to the hotel, he tells her that Rio is an accident waiting to happen and despite the fun they had, he will not risk getting caught. Last time must have been too close of a call huh?
So, there were a lot of Maggie moments! She seems to be quite the smooth talker! She takes some advice from a trucker and leaves her job as a waitress in Tacoma (Hey, I used to live there!) and gets a job in the registrar's office at a University (Woohoo Berkeley!) We see her first run in with Pan Am, a stewardess who needs to drop a class because her job doesn't allow the time for it. After looking at the drop slip, Maggie decides not to waste the class. In fact, it seems as she is starting to take up a bunch of dropped classes that interest her! She does really well according to the Professor, but is in a lot of trouble for her actions. We next see her smooth talking her way into a job with Pan Am.
Back in Rio, Laura and Maggie are shopping and wind up getting into trouble when it turns out some of the items they purchased are stolen. When they wind up at the police station, Laura tells Maggie to talk to the police. Maggie comes clean and lets her know that she doesn't speak Portuguese. Ted winds up coming to the rescue, but the victory is not without a cost. Laura is extremely angry with Maggie for being a "fake".
Back into the spy game, Kate enjoys the day with Niko and actually winds up getting a lot of information from him on where he stands politically. Richard doesn't seem to be done with the matter though. Niko has left to try and help his cousin who is in a lot of trouble with the government and apparently there will be more to come when he returns to the U.S. It seems that Kate is pretty upset about having to do all this behind Niko's back, I think she is falling in love (if she isn't already there!)
Rio was an uncomfortable trip for Dean, and who can blame him? He was stuck having dinner with Mr. Henson and Ginny. Personally, I think Ginny was kind of catty with Colette. Especially when she spoke French. I don't care if Ginny and Colette DID say the exact same thing, it sounded very beautiful coming from Colette and not so much coming from Ginny. The discomfort doesn't end with dinner. Dean is approached by Ginny in the cockpit after they have landed back in New York. Apparently, Ginny has fallen in love with Dean. (I let out an audible, "oh please" even though the dogs were asleep and couldn't hear me!) Maggie seems to be just within earshot and all I can think is, "I hope she's not going to do what I THINK she's going to do!
Before Maggie goes to her meeting to discuss her employment, she talks with Mr. Henson. Now, we aren't privy to hear what was discussed, but we all know exactly what went on. Maggie gets to keep her job, but at what cost?
This episode wasn't exactly my favorite. Too much Ginny/Dean, not enough Dean/Colette or Ted/Laura. I dunno, it seems like so far, several stories will start, but then just drop and go in another direction. I'm hoping they pick up again sometime soon as there are several things I would like to see pan out!
