geebsTV commentary:
Continuum- Wow, bloody episode this week! First, we find out how Curtis is alive. Apparently at Freelancers HQ there is a "hooded man", who is apparently the first person to go back in time and apparently started the freelancers (or caused the freelancers to be formed). And he resurrected Curtis. Which, I was expecting his resurrection to come out from something more than some deus ex machina mystery man. But he tells Kellogg that Catherine is the hooded man's jailer, and he wants to see (free?) the guy, and so he follows up behind Brad and Kiera when they raid Freelancer HQ to free time loop Alec.
Between the three of them (or really, between Curtis and Brad), they basically slaughter all the freelancers. We do not see what Curtis does with the Hooded man.
Meanwhile, Sonya purposely gets captured, and then blows herself up to take out Dillon. Well, he's still alive, but very badly injured. Needless to say, Travis is devastated. Also, I was confused on whether she got to sabotage Halo or not, or if she was just lying and making them think they caught her before she did anything. Because she was on her way out when she was caught, but like I said, I wasn't sure if that was her plan altogether.
24- Ha, so President Heller does go through with it. Since his presidency is practically over because his Alzheimer's is likely to come out, he asks Jack to help him get out so he can turn him self in to Margot. They need Mark's help to do it though, so he knows. And Jack tells Kate to "motivate" her to go hard at Simone so they can hopefully find info so Heller doesn't have to turn himself over. And that Ross guy finds out since he provides the chopper for Jack and Heller to fly off. And Audrey sees the goodbye letter a little early.
Which, that Mark guy is interesting, because he did kinda screw over Jack earlier trying to turn him into the Russians, but since then, has been a pretty stand up guy concerning Jack. Mostly, he did say he would give him to the Russians after he resolved the terrorist attack, but he could just be stalling. But he even covers for Jack, not outing him as the other person who helped sneak her father away. Which, she has to know it was Jack, its like who else could it be?
But ha, so he turns himself over so only he has to die, but heh, I didn't realize they planned to kill him via drone strike. Its like, he sacrifices himself, but did it have to involve destroying a British landmark like Wembley Stadium?
And hmm, it looks like Jordan is no fool, and realized Navarro betrayed him. He gets possibly fatally stabbed, but manages to kill his killer. It'll be interesting to see if he actually is dead, or if someone will find him in time, because it doesn't seem like he had time to warn anyone or leave a clue for Kate.
The Fosters- Wow, when it rains, it pours for Callie. So they try to get Jude's father in court, hoping the judge will regard him as "a close enough father" that he does have the right to terminate parental rights. But the judge says they'll have to find her birth father to get him to terminate his parental rights, since he might not even know she exists, they're just assuming he abandoned her mom.
But yeah, the Fosters didn't realize they let their fostering license lapse, so she gets taken to another home for a while, run by an older lady who seems nice at first, but since Callie's a flight risk, locks her in her room. But Stef manages to corner the judge, and while the judge is not pleased, he does grant the Fosters a month to clear everything up, so in the end, she is back in their house.
Heh, so Robert Quinn is played by Jack from Dawson's Creek. Well, technically, we don't know its him, but its someone spying on Callie at her work. But, he has another daughter with him, who is the spitting image of Callie. Which, holy crap, is Bailee Madison some sort of chameleon?! Like she made a freaking convincing young version of Ginnifer Goodwin on OUAT, and now she totally looks like she could be Maia Mitchell's sister. I mean, she's a little older now than when she was on OUAT, but its weird that in growing up, the slight facial changes make her look just like Callie.
But I digress. So we find out what happens with Brandon- they do catch Vico (I was so worried Brandon would keep mum for some reason). Unfortunately, since he is from money, he avoids jail time, but he's still going to military school. Which, why don't they sue then, since his family is all rich. Their son did basically end Brandon's piano playing career. Like bring up lost future earnings or whatever.
Interesting though, so the principal is gone, but we don't know why. Is it something that will be revealed later? Because this ep was full of jumping around in time.
So Brandon hears from Dani about his dad's bloody fists, which he passes along to Stef. Only Stef knows Anna disappeared after having an argument with a guy (who when she asks a witness determines its Mike) So now she's freaked that Mike killed her. Presumably, he did not, because they're making it seem like he did.
As for the twins- Jesus is in a full on relationship w/ Emma (I'm surprised the Coach didn't put the kibosh on that), but they run into trouble because now the rest of the team sees her as Jesus' gf instead of one of the other guys. But they work it out. Also, Mariana is having one of those crises of race- she makes it onto the dance team, but then she heard someone saying she only got on because they needed to be all diverse. So she starts dying her hair blond. Stef wants to put a stop to it, but Lena, who went through that when she was a kid, says they need to let it play out.
