I want to thank Crystal (Swoopes) for allowing me to link to her site and for all her hard work on providing these screen captures. Please check out the rest of her site when you have a minute. She has done a wonderful job!
1. I think someone is trying to shake his moniker of being a lady's man. Notice the offense he takes at Fran's comment? A couple of years ago that wouldn't have bothered him. 2. Shouldn’t Amanda be in this meeting? If it is her assignment and Lee is just supposed to be supervising I'd think she'd need to be briefed too. Unless she was told last night and that's why she is packing a lunch. What’s up with the resistance too. I thought he'd gotten over that. He just happen to have the jeans et all in the Q.B.? 3. That is not nice. Him referring to her assignment as chicken feed. How is that supposed to make her feel? Can hear it in her sigh as he leaves the jeep to look at the map. 4. She is a junior trailblazer to the core. Without even looking she knows the map is upside down. Um… where'd his map go? He picks it up, semi-folds it and then keeps it in his left hand. That hand eventually ends up behind his back, map still in hand. We go for a close up (nice), pan out and his hand is on his hip sans map. It's the mysterious vanishing map. 5. Does Hollis look like he could be the weasel-faced man's dad? I'm serious. Look at him. 6. Nice try. Trying to con her into going into the store. You should be ashamed. Love how she gets him to go. She uses his own past words to do it. Nothing he can argue with. They are his words. Granted those words are usually ignored and taken out of context, but still... very effective strategy. Love the exchange of looks before he heads in. 7. So if the kid thinks it's so corny how come he knows how to do it? Love Lee's sheer amazement that she is able to find resources way out here when he had no clue. 8. Why did we need the boy's scene? Other than destroying the note what use was it? Pax keeps this but cuts other, more useful scenes. Go figure. Why does Jamie get the milk and grapes out? He touches neither and Philip pours, but doesn't drink. I especially love how they kinda clean up the mess and then leave everything out. Boys. 9. Love all the touching in this ep. We got hand holding as running, we got him helping her down off of boxes, we got intertwined fingers as being lead into camp and of course THE scene. No. Not that one. I'll put that one later. I'm talking about her hand touching places they aren't allowed yet. Don’t know about you, but I am just shocked. Shocked I say. I can not believe sweet, little, innocent Amanda just did that. Not that I’m saying she shouldn't, who here could resist a small touch when faced with that fine muscle in your face? Not me. Just kinda catches you off guard that she actually did it. Any speculation as to the reason? She was trying to steady herself and that was the first thing her hand felt? And who is she? K.J. or A.K.? Mho, I say K.J. was trying to steady herself and just reached. When she realized what she reached she played it as Amanda- sort of. Notice the quick pull away, the devilish smile (K.J.), the check, the look at the target (ahem, spot) and then the bang blow (exhale aimed upwards, makes bangs blow). What’s even better is how he didn't notice (or at least not shown to notice. Wonder if there was a reaction). Anyway... love all the touching in this ep. 10. She sure is lucky. Aside from the whole premise of the show (fates uniting them) she solves more cases by just being in the right spot. Here she finds the stinger cap, in Class Act she finds the bolt from Peggy's slider thing, in others eps she is in the library when the bad guys are talking... I could go on and on. Must have the luck of the Irish. Leprechaun connection. Get it? Oh, never mind. 11. Why do you figure they needed a stunt hand to point at the map? Didn’t realize pointing was so dangerous. Stunt hand? What’s she talking about? The entire time Lee has and will be wearing a watch on his right arm yet when it's pointing at the map asking about the X's there's no watch. Maybe it's with the vanishing map. Thanks barn. 12. When did Amanda see Hollis' picture? She wasn't at the briefing. Nice pick up on the cover of wanting to get an interview. They have done so many cases and have been in trouble so much together that she has a rating system. Are we in big trouble or average trouble? 13. Now isn't that a scary thought. If he'd had just 3 more enthusiastic supporters in his camp he'd be president. Whew. Guess our current pres had those 3. Sorry. Sorry. I just couldn't resist. Please, no political arguments here. I'll keep my opinions and you keep yours. Love the elevator line. 14. Point of clarification. Fran’s security clearance is 13; Lee's is 11. Does that seem right to you? Never really thought about it, Fran being higher in rank. It has to be though. Wonder how come sometimes she is treated as inferior to Lee's rank. No wonder she's upset about Amanda’s status and Lee for that matter sometimes. 15. How does he miss how scared she is? She is rocking, not listening, not looking at him for comfort and not talking. Just one of those alone usually signals her level of scared. Here she is doing all. And he has to ask. Pay attention boy. Do like how when he finally does realize he grabs her hand to reassure her and also tells her he's scared too. That tells her it's ok and he understands. Great little scene. 16. Do they answer all the phones there as IFF? Like how Fran multi-tasks. She gets cube buddy to start trace, she starts the tape and signals Billy all the while keeping her voice even and answering his questions. How’s this check in thing work? He supposed to check in every 2 hours? If they are in woods and there are no phones how are they supposed to do that? They’d get there and have to turn back to get to a phone on time. Not very effective. They should get cell phones. 17. That’s one long shoelace. I know it’s both tied together. I still say its one long shoelace. He gets across the span and to the other side of the table with it. Love their looks of amazement when he knocks stuff off. That’s some pretty fast pulling she does. He reaches for knife the boot is still on the floor, but as he stands back up she is just finishing pulling boot through fence. Like lightening she is. Very impressed with his lock picking skills. He picks this lock with one hand, backwards and blind. No need to repeat Leatherneck's course. 18. Some alert system they have. Reminds me of a kid stepping one foot away from parent who has asked that another child be called and first child just yelling at top of lungs instead of going to get them. I could've done that. I meant go get them. 19. Every one get Lee's message? Can you decode it? Not sure what the numbers stand for. Am curious though. 4DC RB33 (or as was said 4 delta charlie. red bravo 33). We know that the lines are rb so that must mean Lee is dc. How original. dc. 20. Oops. I told you there was something wrong with our direction. Love the looks as the splash subsides. Bet the guy whose truck this was is mad. 21. Geez, a bit excessive don't you think. Arm and leg chains all intertwined and connecting. Why do they even have those? Expecting company? 22. Everyone see that? Too sweet. It's quick so you gotta watch. As Hollis gets in truck we go to them. They are standing together, holding each other, looking in each other's eyes and he is rubbing her arms. They both have this look of fright in their eyes, but look to each other for comfort. So sweet. 23. Is it me or does this meeting confuse you? Isn’t what Billy’s been saying is to go to predec 3? The guy in the glasses makes it sound like it's his idea and Billy should go along with it. Army guy even sounds like he's against it at first but then changes after glasses speaks. And how could the message be false? Who else would know 1. Lee’s call letters and 2. the code for the lines? It’d have to be an associate of the agency. Billy low man on the totem pole or what. 24. Love how they get wrapped around the trees. Soo funny. And when she hits him… rolling. That never would have happened 2 years ago. And his alright, alright. But then she ends up going on his side anyway. Seems fair. She made him come to her side on the other tree. 25. Why is buck wearing an orioles uniform? Looks stupid. Isn’t there a paxed scene where he and Amanda (or the boys or Dottie, I don't remember) discuss not fixing or fixing (again, memory) the stereo? 26. Is there a better scene? I think not. Opinion liable to change as eps occur. Sorry legal disclaimer had to be thrown in. Yeah. Good idea. Lets move closer. You ok now? Yeah. In her mind *How could I not be ok? I'm snuggling with you*. Like how she keeps her eyes closed for most of the scene. Shows how relaxed she is and how much she trusts him. Love her mantra... no guts, no glory. I think I’m gonna use that. He is so proud of her when she says that. ONE of the things she likes about him? Bet he wonders what the other things are. I would. No lie, he does find the silver lining in their situations. I’ve watched for it. Love how during the whole scene he keeps squeezing her and rubbing her arm with his hand. Nice reassurances for her. I think we need to switch places now. Didn’t your mama teach you to share? Ya, that's what you were gonna say. I... really am glad to know you. Uh huh. Correct me if I’m wrong, but this is the most dangerous one yet isn't it? Only Stem and Nc seem more terrifying and they haven't occurred yet. That would account for her level of anxiety and her need to confess. Agree? Did he just confirm her burden status? He should have answered with a resounding no. What a fortuitous cramp. And you can't tell me that was just 2 cold people, etc. He looked straight at her, looked at her lips and then back to her eyes, and both gave a confirming look to the other and then moved. Nothing cold here. AHH!!! Stupid gunmen. What is the deal? They were sooooooooooo close. Lips had to have brushed at least. Stupid gunmen. Speaking of quicksand, how did they find their way to their little island? Where they were firing it looked like it was all water. They would have gone in there in the dark, otherwise they would have been spotted. 27. With one look Billy speaks a thousand words. Without even changing his face his message is conveyed. Powerful. 28. Fran been looking all night? She is in same outfit from yesterday's jeep trip. Nice white pants for wilderness trekking btw. 30. Ok. When I say spread out I mean by more than foot. Stupid guns for hire. Gotta explain every little detail. 31. Where’d she get the string/rope? It was in her backpack (after knocking off table she puts back in), but that was left, with coat, back somewhere. Either the lake truck or the chain truck. I know she didn't have it as they ran. Which, now that I think of it... did she have the match in her pocket? That, last we saw, was in the backpack too. Oops. Prop guy... 32. Why does the agency have that glamour shot of her? Very pretty picture. Would seem a bit over the top for just a record file though. And where's Lee's? They have one for Hollis, Sacker and Amanda, but no Lee. After hers, Hollis' is next again. Shouldn’t Fran ask the kid for more specific directions than just that way? Pretty open country out there. Would seem a little narrowing down would be in order. 33. Does this fence have a sign saying it’s the underground WH? How’d Lee know? It's just a fence. It could be encircling a number of things. And he obviously didn't know the exact location. He’s good, but I doubt anyone is that good. 34. So this contact directed by Fran/Billy isn't on the qt? If so that guy yelling "C'mon let's flank 'em" blows it and needs to be reminded what a sneak attack is. 35. Again… how'd Lee know? This time he knows there is a guy on the bridge. How? He obviously thought all of them crossed in a group and the guy was quiet. Lee’s powers of hearing and understanding are strong in this ep. Now, if he'd use his powers on his relationship with Amanda we'd be all set. 36. Ain’t she the gun girl? How she goes for wonder years dad's gun, how she keeps it aimed at the group and how she uses it when he needs a point made. Which, btw, he is impressed with (notice look). Where does she have the gun aimed? It looks like when she fires she should be hitting them. Obviously it's aimed over their heads I guess. See her little confirmation head nod as they go for the truck. LOL He must trust her gun savvy. He has her cover him while he blows up Sacker. And she doesn't let him down either. Even though she is distracted momentarily she recovers to stop his advancement. Nice try, but agent Amanda is on to you. Nice arm around waist here. Guess he doesn't care if Fran sees or not. 37. TAG!! This by far is my #1 tag. Course that could change tomorrow, but it is definitely in my top 5. Can anyone else recite it word for word? I can't, just asking. Kidding. Actually I can and I'm not ashamed. The whole thing just flows so well. Love the little finger dance she does as she stops him. I want to know what she was going to say. She let him finish the sentence with the cold thing, but she was going somewhere else. Where? Notice when she doesn't answer his right? Right away his look goes to worry? He loses his smile. Love the smile, head tilt and NOT EXACTLY. Could there be a more intriguing and mystifying answer for him? His face is awash in sheer amazement and astonishment. Her impish smile just before and as she walks away is perfect. She has given up the idea of playing hard to get and just gave him an open invitation to counter. Too bad he's slow to RSVP. How he does not see her intentions I’ll never know. What kind of spy is he? It's not like it's the enigma code.
