Original Air Date 10/2/11
In this second episode, Colette is stranded on the side of the road, only to be rescued by none other than Dean. They strike up a nice deal, putting her in the driver seat and Dean possibly regretting he gave her the keys?
We come into a weigh in. I love how the show has started off with that so far. The lovely (sarcasm) woman in charge is just SO sweet! (more sarcasm) But this gives us a look into some of the things Pan Am stewardesses had to go through. Now, I think the only people who can get away with weigh ins are the Military. Everywhere else, it's discrimination. I can see their point, but I'm not here to get into a political debate.
Maggie is in trouble at her weigh in for insubordination and then later, for stabbing a passenger with a serving fork. In her defense, he did have it coming for trying to force himself on her! Ted "comes to her rescue" but in her eyes really only makes things worse. (Hey, so, I think Maggie really let him off easy. I would've popped open that emergency excit and let him fall out!)
Laura and Kate are forced to face their mother who has managed to get on their flight. We get some insight on what happened after Laura ran out on her wedding and the conflict between Kate and their mother. What made me smile was the fact that Laura was pretty much certain she'd been disowned, only to be assured that her mother missed her. It's always nice to know that your family doesn't hate you.
Once in Paris, the cuteness between Dean and Colette just gets better. He is looking for Bridget of course, but there is no denying that these two have chemistry. Their dance at the end of this episode is simply adorable and has this girl hoping for more of this pairing! (And the more I watch this show, the more I realize how much I REALLY remembered from 9th Grade French class. More than I thought!)
Ted continues to taunt Maggie until he delivers the final straw, a roll that has been stabbed by a serving fork, just like the man on the plane. (While I find the gesture was funny, it was inappropriate) Maggie let him know that she could handle everything except the fact that he basically made it okay for the man to try it again with another girl. (He did NOT earn any brownie points from me in this episode. I know he probably thought he was doing the right thing, and he DID difuse the situation, but crossed the line when he continued to tease Maggie for most of the episode.)
Kate and her mother deal somewhat with their issues (her mother showed her that she got a passport the same summer Kate became a stewardess, then told her "I need you too"), but before that, Laura has a falling out when she realizes her mother brought Greg, the man Laura was supposed to marry, causing Laura to believe that her mother's only intention was to bring her home. Laura and Greg part ways, with him telling her "Bon Voyage". I have a feeling we will be seeing more of him later though as I don't think Laura is someone he'll be able to get over so easily.
We do see a bit more of Bridget in this episode. She is Kate's contact for her current mission. She tells Kate that she messed up on one of her assignments and for her safety, she was given a new identity and life. Kate now knows what can and will happen if she does not follow her orders, but decides ultimately that she will take on the assignment. (And I think they picked the right girl for the job!)
So, this was another great episode. I especially loved the moments Colette and Dean had. Was that dancing scene not the most adorable ever? Ted earned my skunk award for this episode and to be honest? At this point, I was still on the fence on whether or not I liked him. More to come in the next episode. :)
