My god, could Helen a.k.a. Helesa (remember her alias earlier in the season was Teresa something) BE any effing worse!? She is not only a completely unnecessary and grating character, but she proved in this week's episode to be a TOTAL scammer. Back in ep 4.07 she was all like, "Ohh whoops sorry Auggie I never loved you, it was all for the mission, duh!!" "Oh Annie, falling in love is dangerous, going dark is the best!! OMG it's soooo kewl you should try it out too!! You can be SO awesome as a spy this way I swear!! It's totes fun. Love only slows you down. Dump the loser and you can be cool like me."
And now this week she's all like, "OH wait what's that you say?? Annie's dead!? OH in that case! Auggie I DID love you, I never stopped loving you, I totally regret going dark what the hell was I thinking OMG!!?? Going dark is so lame I shoulda never done that shit!!" UGGH. Just go EAT A BAG OF Ds HELESA, SERIOUSLY. And get out of our faces already. You are a plot device and you're doing nothing but EFFING shit up in the most obnoxious way possible for the audience.
Anyway. Despite my venomous reaction to Helesa being on my TV screen, luckily her screen time was kept mercifully short in this episode. And the rest of the ep actually managed to be pretty damn good. Two weeks in a row of good eps now. Does Covert Affairs have its mojo back? God ... please TV gods ... I pray to you that this is the case.
Annie has been thrown off the rails in this ep, and it appears that she may be starting to have feelings and stuff again, like a normal human. Maybe. I hope so. We'll see what happens next week. Here's my review at GeekFurious:
