Episode Report Card Erin: D+ | 1 USERS: B- YOU GRADE IT Whirligig of Death and Destruction

After the break, we are once again with Syd and Sam and I have to say that this entire scene did nothing to further the action, added nothing of interest to the episode, and basically just tried my fucking patience. If anything super-special happens, I'll be sure to note it for you. Trust me. Blah blah blah, when's your damn contact coming? Blah blah blah, soon. Bling blam blooey, witness protection sucks and I'll never see my family again. Flick flack flingy, I'll make sure and give your mom a call to let her know you're safe. Ding dong ditch 'em, man, I came to Austria to pump some thunder through my veins. Gee goo gitchy, who writes this shit? No, seriously. WHO. See saw Sally, I wanted to write the great American novel but all I wound up doing was drinking a lot of beer AND WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT, I ASK YOU?
I don't get an answer, sadly, because Bad Contact shows up to bring this crashing bore of a scene to an end. Syd's immediately suspicious of Bad Contact and she thinks she sees someone in the back of the car. As they approach the vehicle, Syd quickly grabs Bad Contact's gun and shoots the passenger, who happens to be one of the guards from the club. Syd fights with Bad Contact for a few minutes as Sam watches with his mouth agape. Finally, Syd hilariously slams the car door on Bad Contact's back several times, killing him. She walks casually over to Sam and is all, yeah, we should get going. Sam's all, uh, I'm not going ANYWHERE with you, PSYCHO KILLER. Syd's all, SERIOUSLY WE HAVE TO GO. Sam's all, look what you did to him. Syd's all, we got blindsided and we dealt with it and COME ON LET'S GO. She also says something about how it doesn't change who they are or whatever, but it's totally ham-fisted and anvils are dropping out of the sky and CAN WE GET TO THE MINI-CHOPPER OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION ALREADY? Syd finally FINALLY explains to Sam about the weapon and innocent deaths or whatever and he finally FINALLY takes them to the metro so they can head to the shipping yards. Sam says something about how he has no, you know, mad killing skillz and Syd just says not to worry -- she has his back.
Sasha's Theme Park of Pain. Jack-in-the-Truck rolls up and the soldiers remove their prisoner's hood. Sasha immediately asks the soldiers if they know who in the hell their prisoner is. The soldiers are all, uh, yeah, what of it? Sasha's all, BANG! He shoots one of the soldiers in the kneecap and tells them all that if one of them strikes Jack, they strike him, Sasha, in the heart. Then he smiles at Jack and greets him as his dear friend. Huh. Mortal enemies, eh? Yeah, not so much.
