geebsTV commentary:
Burn Notice- Well, that was a surprise. So Michael steals critical intel off Sonya's phone, which lets HRG formulate a plan to grab James. He has some "outside hitters" to go do it, so as to not blow Michael's cover. Unfortunately, they're lead by crazy old Simon Escher. Eventually, Michael can no long suffer Simon's wonton disregard for life, and ends up killing him.
The fact that CIA would hire a psycho like Simon (at first he claims it was because it makes perfect sense that he would go after Mike, given their history, but he admits that he's been doing off book jobs for them for a while now) makes Michael go native, and he actually stops James and Sonya from getting captured.
Back at the safehouse, James is about to kill Sonya, thinking she's the one who betrayed him, so Michael admits he's a spy sent to take him down and says since the CIA is using folks like Simon, and this whole series has been one long circle of the CIA screwing him over, he may be starting to drink James' kool aid. We'll see in 2 weeks how James and Sonya react to it. I mean, Sonya's liable to be more pissed since she never lets anyone get close, and when she does, he turns out to be a spy! But hey, he did blow his cover to save her, that should count for something.
She's prolly toast though, given her wish to go to some place in South America I've already forgotten. She basically just signed her death warrant by saying such a line! I was actually expecting Simon to kill her!
Graceland- And its Deja Vu! Mike is recovering okay, so Charlie wants to put him back with Bello in jail to try to figure out who Odin is. But Briggs arranges Bello to have a visitor at the same time Charlie is seeing Mike, blowing his cover. So that avenue is trashed.
Mike does at least manage to convince Paige there was a decent reason to be investigating Briggs. Now if only he would talk to Charlie! But yeah, following the other Mike W not one hour before, he admits to Briggs he was investigating him. Mostly because he wants to see if Briggs had anything to do with his handler's disappearance. And Mike is satisfied that Briggs doesn't know who that is!
And he doesn't, because he had no idea fake-Jangles was that guy. So when he looks up the agent's name, he realizes what a mess he's in as he accidentally killed a FBI agent.
Degrassi- This is still total BS! It was a sweet episode, though I'm amused how many people managed to make it about themselves. Drew is angry, so he blames Becky, who's kinda floored by the accusation and wants to throw a bonfire memorial but thinks no one will come because all of Adam's friends hate her. Then Drew blames himself and goes wandering around the city full of grief before finally showing up and apologizing to Becky and getting to not say goodbye to his brother, because Adam will always be in his head.
Even Claire feels totally guilty as well, because she's in remission, so she's having survivors guilt and thinks its effed up she survived cancer only for Adam to die randomly. Which it kinda is. Like it was retarded they gave her cancer, and it was retarded that they killed Adam off in a random B plot.
