Reese going full grenade launcher to protect Carter is fun.

Hai miss-lapin - do you intend these to be "First Watch" or "Rewatch" ? Nothing specific to this episode, was just wondering.

Lionel truly is a heel-face turn and a true believer. Timing wise, (provisionally) bringing Carter into the fold in ep9/23 is efficient but still "organic."

It's a little bit ludicrous that John is SO good - like, infiltrating the ESU (SWAT) team just before heading in, and then changing back into his suit to rescue Carter.

Though I did love that he stole the Captain's sidearm.

This is technically a rewatch for me, but I'm trying to approach them as a first watch so I'm avoiding spoilers for later episodes.

Good episode, I liked to see John and Harold deal with someone who faces multiple threats at once.

(And John was able to keep up with all three threats, which makes Ulrich Kohl keeping one step ahead of him last episode even more impressive.)

The grenade launcher was a bit much, sometimes they just needed a cool explosion scene for the TV commercials.

"Don't tell me, he was wearing a suit."

"No, motorcycle jacket."

"Maybe it was at the cleaners."

I appreciate the number of previous episodes it took to set up that joke...
