Original Air Date: 11/13/11
Okay, so how awesome is it that our girls are headed to Venezuela? My brother from another is Venezuelan! Anyway, this episode was a bit different than what we've seen so far. There wasn't as much flashing back and forth in time. Even though I like how they do that, it DOES make it a little bit easier to blog about it!
Wouldn't you know? Ginny made an appearance! But this time, she was slightly less obnoxious. Why? Because it wasn't Ginny the woman, it was Ginny the hurricane! Ted did not miss a beat when it came to teasing Dean.
Laura runs into Chuck, who is taking Sanjeev's spot for this episode. Looks like good old Sanjeev is on vacation! Y'know, I've always wondered if we'll ever learn more about Sanjeev... Anyway, Chuck pretty much starts drooling over Laura...and...what's that? I think maybe we saw a hint of jealousy...does Ted not want competition? He tells Chuck to not even bother, that Laura is waiting for Mr. Right. Haha. Is he trying to be that guy? Still not sure yet, but he definitely is not welcoming competition.
Let's get to Chuck. Not too sure I like him! I dunno, he was just kinda annoying to me.
Maggie is flirting with someone, surprise, surprise. She's trying to get to a yacht party. Of course!
Kate meets a wonderful older gentleman named Henry. Henry is a nervous flyer, who is not enjoying the turbulence. Kate sits down to chat with him so he can relax and feel more comfortable. It seems that it worked! Henry has a smile on his face. And who wouldn't? Kate is so sweet and charming. She finds out that his wife was from Venezuela and they'd always wanted to go, but as it tends to do, life got in the way So even though she was gone, it was time he went. His heart is broken, you can tell by the way he talks about her, Henry loved his wife. Kate's smiles turn to fear when Henry suddenly doesn't feel well, and it turns out he is having a heart attack! Kate runs up to the cockpit and lets Dean know that there is an emergency. With the bad weather and the need to land as soon as possible, Dean goes to Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The landing is rough (the lights on the landing strip pop on at the last possible second!) and I was gritting my teeth. I've been through some landings that felt like that! Sympathy pain?
Our crew is greeted by men...in a jeep...with guns. After Colette speaks to them, they find out there is a doctor in town. After giving the men whatever money they have, Ted and Colette are off into town to find the doctor. After driving towards what they hope is the town, Colette is certain they are lost. They come upon two bodies in the road and a young girl meets hails them. She tells Colette she can lead them to the doctor. The girl takes them to the village, and the doctor refuses to go with them. After pleading with him, the doctor finally gives Colette medicine that could help save Henry. Ted and Colette start the trip back, only Colette has also promised to take the young girl with them!
Back at the plane, Kate is trying to keep Henry in good spirits. She tells him about all the places she's traveled. It isn't long though, before Henry closes his eyes and is gone.Ted and Colette are too late.
Dean has discovered another problem. The remainder of the runway has been destroyed and they aren't going to have enough room to take off. He knows that they are sitting ducks if they stay and letting his passengers become hostages is not an option. A plan is made to get rid of as much weight as possible so they can take off on the short runway.
Guess who isn't getting onto that yacht? Maggie's current conquest is enraged that he has to leave his things. Well, most of the passengers are, but he's particularly aggravated and has no problem letting the entire crew know that. Then, when the passengers notice the young girl Colette has brought back, they are even more upset. After an argument with Dean, Colette wins out and they take the young girl as a passenger, much to the dismay of everyone. Kate remembers Henry saying that he wanted to be able to help people, so she knew that he would agree to give up his spot for the girl. He is left with the luggage, Kate says something to him before she is called back to the plane. An apology or a thank you is most likely what it was. I was a little on the sleepy side since I stayed up past my bedtime for this!
The luggage is gone and Dean had made sure to burn off as much fuel as he could. They would have to go to Miami due to the fuel loss. Soon, trucks full of rebels show up. Dean knows that if they don't go now, they are going to be hostages. Chuck is very vocal about his disagreement, saying they are not light enough and won't make it. Finally Ted tells him to shut up! Dean is the Captain and what he says goes! It's an edge of your seat take off, but they make it (what looks like barely!) and are on their way to Miami.
In Miami, Kate puts a call in to Richard to get the Haitian girl some help. To keep Colette from getting into trouble, they all say that bringing the girl on board was their idea. Safety in numbers! Dean on the other hand, is getting his ass handed to him. But, he gets to keep his job, thankfully! He also gets a reward for doing the right thing. A kiss from Colette! The fangirl in me squeed. :) I thought this would never happen!
This episode really left me misty eyed. I hope they don't all start turning on the waterworks for me!
