Episode Report Card M. Giant: C | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Husbands And Wives

In the Shadow Valley, Fayed announces, "This drone is ready to launch," like suddenly he's the expert. He passes the arming device that Morris programmed to his underlings and orders, "Arm the bomb."
Splitscreen time, as the nuclear Thermos is removed from its suitcase, the Veep glowers at papers on his desk, and Buchanan gets off the phone and urgently gives the order to put all satellite coverage on the Shadow Valley. Milo gets to work on that as Kiefer limps through the Consulate hallway, loosening his tie, and Chloe and Tom look serious at their respective locations.
An ambulance screams down the highway in front of an impending sunset. In the back, a bloody-shirted Logan comes to, says Martha's name into his oxygen mask, and starts crashing. His EKG alarm merges into the beeping of the clock as it ticks over to 7:00:00. How are we supposed to get invested in the potential redemption of people like Assad and Logan if they keep getting killed off?
