So last week can be summed up thusly: Ew. And this week seems to be following in those gross, gross footsteps. Several dead peace ambassadors are strung up bleeding at the threshold of the Visitors Visitors' Center. Sadly, none of them are Tyler, which simply means that they show hasn't gotten desperate enough to make a big ratings grabs yet. Fingers crossed for soon! Tyler starts tweaking at the sight of all his dead friends and decides to avenge their deaths by ransacking a church. Father Jack's to be precise. They trash the place until Father Travis finally turns up his hearing aid and confronts them. They run. Tyler being Tyler drops his phone and Father Jack finds it. He hands it to Erica, who cries. Then she sort of has a moment with the priest.
Chad Decker reports that the world's religious leaders are coming out against the Visitors, but the Catholics haven't made up their minds. Anna decides to help them… with Chad's assistance, of course. She saddles up Chad and heads to the Vatican forthwith. While there, Anna notices a ring on a Cardinal that she recognizes from her youth. He turns out to be a long-lost Visitor sent to earth to research emotions and the soul. Anna orders him back to the ship. There he declares allegiance to Anna's mother, so Anna dumps him at Diana's feet. He informs HIS queen that the soul is a wonderful beautiful blessing filled with unicorns and butterfly kisses. So Diana gives him an honor killing and pisses off Anna, who wanted to torture him.
Erica has a new partner (it's the creepy guy from Burn Notice and Brothers and Sisters and Sons of Anarchy) and he is pretty sure that Father Jack is involved in the Fifth Column. They go to interview him, which is awkward, but Erica overacts to make up for it. Anna is also gunning for Father Jack, and while she's visiting the Vatican demands that they bar the clergy from speaking against the Vs. But, you know, nicely. Hahaha, not nicely. Then one of the priests breaks it to Anna that souls are immortal. And that without the soul we would be nothing more than animals and, thus, edible. Regardless, the Cardinals refuse to condemn the outspoken clergy. So Anna calls them out and vaguely threatens them and their entire belief system. Then she stages a laser light show and makes the Virgin Mary bleed blue blood. Obviously, the Vatican quickly changes their stance.
Everyone is looking for suspected Fifth Column terrorist Eli Cohen, and Father Jack offers to reach out to his church members to see who knows what. Cohen thanks him for the effort with a skinned V head on his pillow. (So… Cohen is a cat?) Father Jack sets up the meet, swallows a V tracking elixir, and heads off. The Fab Team follows him and storms the cabin. Everyone ends up at gunpoint until Eli Cohen points out that they're all on the same side, except for that the Fab Five won't kill "collaborators". But when Cohen tells them he knows the Vs want to breed with them, they give up the pretense and join up. They come up with a great plan to catch the guys responsible for the peace ambassador murders as well as someone to take the blame for Malik's murder. That evening Erica leads the FBI to Cohen's hideout, where they find Malik's remains. Hey show: Gross.
Also, Erica's new partner is reporting on her to the FBI bosses. Who saw that coming? Oh, all of you? Right.

Want more? The full recap starts right below!So I don't know about you, but for me, last week's episode could be summed up in one word: Gross. I mean, you hear about flaying in, like, American historical reenactment or whaling textbooks, but to watch someone get skinned alive on primetime? Yech. I'm not going to say it crossed a line, like, say, showing Dennis Franz's pasty white butt at 10 p.m. when the kids could still be awake and thus scarred for life, but still. It may have out-SVU'd SVU, if you know what I mean and I think you do. Alien snuff films are still snuff films. I, for one, hope that she can aim not towards Nip/Tuck, but maybe a few steps closer to little Little House? ("Pa! There's an alien in the hen house again!" "Let's pray about it, half pint. Then shoot it.") What? I get sad when people are skinned alive in front of me. It's just this thing I have. Don't worry I'm seeking counseling.
Sigh...there are dead bodies hanging upside down and bleeding all over the place, which does not bode well for this not being a snuff film. Now, I don't want to get all FCC up in this joint, but it has to be said, Hey show: GROSS. So the dead people are wearing the uniforms of the new Gestapo a.k.a. the Peace Ambassadors that have no problem siding with the aliens against their own species. Or at least that is what the terrorists who killed them would have us believe. So they hung 'em upside down like cattle (dead cattle, naturally, you couldn't hang a live cow like that very easily as their prehensile tails would reach out and stab you with their poisonous tips) and cut their throats and at some point put them in masks from the Scream four-part trilogy. (I know. It's a joke. Don't email me.)
Agent Erica Evans sees dead people and immediately thinks her son has been murdered because this show needs a ratings boost and killing him off would be shocking (also, awesome). She runs to the bodies and instead of waiting for CSI or CSU or whichever acronym is in charge of preserving the crime scene, she runs up and rips the masks off their faces. None of them is Tyler. Sad, right? Oh and it is apparent that the masks are not from Scream but are, in fact, alien masks. And just when I was going to write a brilliant essay on the brilliant and subversive pop culture references in the show! And now there are none.
Anyway, Erica is hyperventilating because her kid is not dead and her Boss is reminding her that this is just what the Italians did to Mussolini. Yeah, a history lesson is just what a freaked out parent needs. That's why I always come away from PTA meetings with a factoid or two about Weimar Germany. Then Tyler comes up, breaks through the police line, totally gets his cooties all over the crime scene and Erica runs to him as he sobs, "It could have been me! Those are my friends! I was supposed to be there!" Erica comforts him as we all nod in agreement: It should have been him.
Up on the Mothership, Ryan is hanging with his baby girl who is... seven months? Eight months? Do V babies age quickly or did they just slap some older baby skin suit on her or is the timeline of this show wonky? All of the above? Anyway, Anna comes in to remind Ryan that his daughter is at her mercy. Yes, Anna, you are so very very frightening that even babies don't want fuck with you. Ryan sighs and asks her what she wants now. As usual, she just wants him to bring down the Fifth Column. He hands her the baby and goes out to bust Eli Cohen's head as rumor has it the ex-Mossad agent is the man in charge of the revolution.
Down on earth in the lair of the good guys (do good guys get lairs?) Erica is still hyperventilating, but this time she is using her words and whinging on about the fact that since she killed both her partners the FBI is assigning her a new one. Girl, just be happy that you aren't being prosecuted as a serial killer. Maybe they are saving that for season two? Then everyone starts whining about having everyone watching them when they are just trying to overthrow the enemy and cause a few 'splosions here and there. Isn't this a free country still? Fresh off the Mothership, Ryan joins them and explains that they have to take down Eli Cohen and the radical fringe of the Fifth Column because they are totally giving the rest of the revolutionaries a bad reputation. And not the good type of bad reputation that gets you laid, but the bad kind that gets you some extraordinary rendition. So Father Jack proposes that he reach out to some members of his church who are moonlighting with Mossad and see if he can reach Mr. Eli Cohen himself. Wait, wait, the Catholic church and the Jews are working together? That is some seriously Ghostbusters end times shit right there. Everyone looks at each other and decides that Father Jack's plan is the best plan they have. So... their revolution is based on networking. Just go on Linked In, idiots.
Erica decides to go back to her day job (sadly, not IRL) and once in the office she beelines for her boss to complain about getting a new partner. Erica is a close talker to begin with, but when she leans in for a quiet moment with her boss, she gets so close she is practically sharing an indoor-outdoor carpet panel with the guy. He doesn't shrink away though, which is the finest bit of acting this show has seen in quite a while and tells her to just go meet her damn partner. Erica sighs and wanders off to meet the new agent. It turns out to be her old academy buddy, Chris Bolling, played by Jay Karnes who was also played creepy Andy Kohn on Sons of Anarchy and creepy Manboobs on Brothers and Sisters and creepy Tyler Brennen on Burn Notice. Quite the niche you've carved out for yourself, Mr. Karnes. Erica is pleasantly surprised, but perhaps just a smidge sad because, well, you know what happened to her last two partners. For his first grand act as Erica's ill-fated partner, Bolling points out that a certain Father Jack Landry appears to be at the heart of a lot of the anti-V rhetoric and maybe they should go pay him a visit. Erica does her patented gulp and wide-eyed nod.
Chad Decker is reporting on the increased violence against the Visitors and the perhaps surprising support for anti-V speech by religious figures. He namechecks some cardinal who is going to decide the matter for the Catholic church as we cut to Anna up in space watching Chad on air. She wants to help the cardinal make his decision... and she is taking Chad with her. Nothing like a mealymouthed Benedict Arnold with a $400 haircut to impress the Catholic Church! Anna swings by the television station in her pink (not really) space ship and takes Chad out on a surprise date, destination unknown. It's like the Space Bachelor, but far less awesome. Anna lands her shuttle in St. Peter's Square in Vatican City and as the door to the shuttle opens everyone cheers. Because she didn't squish them, probably. Chad is suddenly reporting live from the Vatican as Anna makes nicey nice with the College of Cardinals. I guess they all cleared their schedules for her? Chad explains that Anna wants to learn more about the world's religions before she squashes them like cockroaches under her foot.
Speaking of Catholics, Father Jack has been getting mouthy on the pulpit again. In an effort to... er, network, he was so mouthy he managed to raise an eyebrow or two among the elite terrorist group that comes to Sunday services. As the congregation exits the sanctuary (can that word be said without a Quasimodo accent?) a congregant gives the priest the old nudge nudge wink wink and a terrorist connection has been made.
Agent Erica's new partner wants to interview Father Jack Right. Now. so Erica drives which I guess proves that she wears the pants, has the balls, and knows the city. Bolling tries to make light of the fact that both of Erica's partners have disappeared, but he sounds like the soon-to-be victim making light of the fact that he is spending the night in a haunted house on a dare and isn't scared but actually is wearing adult diapers in preparation for the impending fear fest. Erica replies something vague about Mets fans and he fake chuckles as his eyes widen in fear. Then they pull up at the church and Erica explains that they put Father Jack through the old FBI wringer a few weeks ago and she thinks he just has a loud mouth. Inside the church, Jack is not ready for company. He is busy looking at a little present that the Fifth Column left him. It's a head in a box (which I can't help imagining Andy Samberg singing). Specifically, it is a skinned Visitor's head in a box along with a prize inside: a lightly blood spattered CD. Gosh, aren't heads in a box the WORST? I mean, say it with flowers, guys. Or perhaps an Edible Arrangement?
Just then Erica and Bolling show up and Father Jack tries to wipe the Hey Show: Gross look off his face and fails. So while the FBI grills him about his involvement with the Fifth Column and digs around for any information on the Peace Ambassador murders, Father Jack just looks all kinds of guilty. Then Bolling asks him about Eli Cohen and in my head Father Jack is all, "Isn't he Jewish? Why would he be listening to a Catholic priest?" In reality he just shrugs that he's never heard of the guy. Since Father Jack isn't exactly forthcoming, the FBI agents give up. Erica pretends that Jack was obviously telling the truth and they don't need to bug a member of the cloth anymore, but Bolling is like, "Girl? You crazy."
Speaking of the clergy, Anna is making nice with the Cardinals and they are pretending that alien life is not contrary to their entire belief system. Actually, I am not totally sure that is true, but since the Catholic Church generally hasn't been too wild about competing belief systems, I'm pretty sure they would find some issue with aliens who think they're people. Anna tells the Cardinal that she thinks Catholicism is the right religion for the entire Visitor population and the Cardinal is, like, super excited to be able to have a lot of baptisms and space masses. Then Anna needs to talk about her big but: She can't recommend the Catholic faith unless the Cardinals order their priests to stop publicly condemning the Visitors. Father Jack, this one's for you! The Cardinal looks uncomfortable at this ultimatum and is weighing the greeting he would get at St. Peter's Gate for saving the souls of aliens versus allowing his priests some leeway in what they believe (within the strictures of the scriptures naturally). Um, Cardinal, you may want to know that Anna doesn't have a soul and plans on removing the souls of others and crushing them underneath the heel of her stiletto like the heroine in a crush fetish film or Tura Santana (R.I.P.). Anyway, obviously the Cardinal has to take it to Jesus and pray on it and stuff, so Anna smiles coldly and eyes up another Cardinal who is cockblocking her diplomatic plays. Later she tells No.2 that she recognizes the Cardinal's ring from her childhood and wants No. 2 to find out everything about him. Chad looks on trying to figure out what the heck he is watching and whether or not he should be reporting any of this to anyone.
Father Jack plays the DVD for the Fab Four. It's a message from Eli Cohen. He is super glad that Jack finally reached out and wants to meet that evening in a vacant lot, no cops. Yeah, that sounds legit. And why was that head in a box again? As a present? Or a test? Like, if Father Jack could overcome his distaste and compose a really nice thank you note that he would hand deliver at midnight in a vacant lot only then would Cohen allow him on the team? Everyone agrees that since Cohen kills innocents, he must be stopped. Then Erica notices Chad on the teevee talking about Anna's union with the Catholics and for some reason that changes everything. I guess the concern is that a billion Catholics would suddenly be on Anna's side and fight the Fifth Column? Whatever the questionable logic is, suddenly everyone thinks Jack should go to the meeting and take an untraceable tracking device and they will follow him and talk to Cohen and sing that song from The Parent Trap about getting together.
Back at the Vatican, Anna is just loitering when she spies the Cardinal whose ring she recognized and goads him into a conversation about the soul. She is not especially thrilled when she finds out that Catholics consider the soul to be immortal. How can she crush it if it can live forever? Anna looks contemplative-ish (let's be honest, Anna never looks overwhelmed with an
y emotion except for that one time she screamed really loudly) and then asks if people can live without their souls? She's, uh, asking for a friend. The priest explains that it is the soul that makes people human and without it we would be nothing but animals. Hey... what about opposable thumbs? I thought THAT and our ability to accessorize and our high tolerance for reality television was what separated us from the animals? Anna tries to parse the sentence to figure out whether a bunch of soulless animals with mismatched jewelry begging to watch the Kardashians would work for her breeding mission. She's not sure.
Meanwhile, down on earth, Tyler has gone to his dark place and is frantically watching Father Jack preach on YouTube. But he's not having a come to Jesus moment, he is working himself up into a tizzy over his coworkers' deaths and is blaming Father Jack. Lisa tries to distract him with some sexy time, but Tyler misinterprets her and decides that he needs to go trash the church. He is sooooo smart. On the bright side, maybe he will go to jail?
While Erica's son is off conducting hate crimes, she is, of course, at work. Latch key kid syndrome! Working mothers are the root of all evil! She tells Jack that she is really impressed with his bravery and willingness to go into the hornet's nest of Eli Cohen's terror cell. He shrugs because isn't that what he is there for? Fighting Visitors and kicking terrorist ass in the name of the Lord and the immortal souls of his followers? Ryan ruins their special alone time by giving Jack a drink that is actually a Liquid LoJack. Jack chugalugs and then he is off to loiter in a vacant lot and try not to look suspicious. Ryan, Erica, and Kyle drop him off and wait to follow. Soon enough Father Jack is picked up in a black SUV (of course, someday there is going to be a terrorist and/or ex-Mossad agent who drives a 1982 Buick Riviera). Jack is hooded and chucked in the back. I guess those guys don't have company very often, because that is NOT how you treat a guest.
At Father Jack's church, Tyler and some random friends head into the church with bats and destroy the place. Lisa yells at him to stop, but he doesn't. They vandalize and break shit and ruin the filing and tag a big 'V' on the wall and generally cause mayhem and property damage as Lisa runs out and Tyler records it all for posterity. Eventually Father Travis turns up his hearing aid and realizes there is a ruckus going on. He finds the boys and reminds them that this is a house of God. He and Tyler tussle, Tyler drops his phone, knocks Travis on his patoot, and they run off. Single moms did this!
Back at the Vatican, No. 2 reports to Anna that the mysterious priest is actually a Visitor sent to earth to research the soul and human emotion by Anna's mother. He has been on earth so long he thinks he's people. Anna tells No. 2 to make sure that the priest is on the first shuttle back to the Mothership. She has a few questions for him. Chad joins them to report the news that the Cardinals are ready to make their decision about whether to have Catholicism as the number one intergalactic religion or whether they want to let their priests talk freely. And the winner is... *drumroll* the Cardinal tells Anna that unfortunately they will not condemn the clergy who feel compelled to speak their minds. Anna is not pleased. So she gives them a lesson in faith by scaring the bejeezus out of them with some balls of blue energy and a threat that she will cause miracles on earth to rival those from the Bible and ruin their whole religion and steal their congregation. Take that! The Cardinals give Jesus about twenty minutes to show up and kick alien ass and when he doesn't they give in to Anna's demands. They have no choice! She made the statue of the Holy Virgin Mary bleed blue blood! That ain't kosher.
At the poorman's CGI version of St. Peter's square, Chad Decker reports that Anna and the Visitors have made an agreement with the Catholic Church condemning all anti-V rhetoric. Anna now hopes to meet with the leaders of other religions and make similar agreements. Chad wraps the report and goes to find the priest that Anna was chatting up. The Cardinal informs him that the priest has volunteered to be the first space missionary, beating Richard Branson to the honor. If only Anna hadn't recognized that ring the guy would be free to worship the Lord and tell ladies not to take the Pill for eternity. Moral of the story? Change your jewelry seasonally. Pretty sure that's in the Bible, actually.
In the woods of upstate New York, Kyle, Ryan, and Erica kick some terrorist ass and break into the cabin where Father Jack is being held. Well, he's not really being held, right? He's just there for a meeting he volunteered for? So when Kyle tosses a flash grenade (I learned it from watching Burn Notice!) and Erica and Ryan rush in guns a-blazin' they are interrupting a friendly chat with some pretty big 'splosions. Eli Cohen holds a gun to Jack's head and points out that they are all on the same side. Yes, he thinks that collaborators a.k.a. Peace Ambassadors and people walking around the Visitors' Visitor Center are fair game, but whatever it takes to make Anna not in the mood for breeding. Erica is intrigued that Eli knows about the breeding plan. How does he know about it? Eli pulls out a pipe, settles into a rocking chair, puts on his slippers and puts his feet up on a hollowed out log 'cause he has a story to tell. Eighteen years ago, his wife had a difficult pregnancy and then had a healthy baby boy who then died (*sob*, obvs). He couldn't accept that there was no explanation, which is normally not very psychologically healthy, but this time he was right. He found out that the doctor was working with the Visitors and that monster did something to his boy. His sob story totally works and Erica lowers her weapon.
Back at the Vatican, Chad Decker finds the priest before he heads off on his mission to mars. The priest knows who Chad is and he knows that Chad is pretending to be super BFF with Anna and the Visitors, but he also saw that Chad was extremely uncomfortable with Anna's behavior in front of the Cardinals. Chad realizes that something is up and the priest confirms that he is not so much a volunteer as a sacrifice. The priest doesn't tell him any more, but does strongly recommend that Chad trust his instincts and his feelings about Anna and to keep up his fight. He hands Chad his ring and grimly heads into the space shuttle with Anna.
Up on the Mothership, Anna has strapped the wayward priest into the memory chamber and he has had his memories uploaded to the giant Flickr account in the sky. She kicks No. 2 and the doctor out of the room and confronts the priest. She wants to know why he didn't identify himself to her upon her arrival at the Vatican. He coldly tells her that he was instructed to only give his report to HIS queen. Anna stares at him for a moment and then tells him that her mother is in hell with the other damned souls. See? She did learn something from her trip to the Vatican. She also picked up one of those Popeners (you know, Pope bottle openers) and some Pontiff nail clippers for Christmas stocking stuffers. The priest is unmoved. Speaking of unmoved, I bet the thing that Morena Baccarin likes best about this role (aside from the paycheck, natch) is that as Anna is an emotionless two-by-four (I mean, seriously, I've met mackerel with broader emotional range), Morena never ever needs to worry about getting wrinkles. She hasn't had to crease her brow more than once during this show's duration. That's a silver lining for an actress now isn't it? God, I miss Firefly.
Speaking of wood acting, Erica and Eli Cohen are trying to come up with a mutually beneficial arrangement. You see, they are on the same side, but Erica needs a fall guy for both Malik's murder as well as the killings of the Peace Ambassadors. Luckily for everyone, Eli Cohen has a group of crazy people working for him who have no problem sacrificing themselves for the cause. He will just pick two lucky guys who will offer themselves up for prosecution by the FBI. That way Erica and Eli both have their little problems solved and they are free to collude in the future. You can solve problems so easily when you work together. TMYK.
Anna brings the priest to "his" queen, but she does it with a chip on her shoulder. Diana is happy for the company and is even happier once she sees who it is. The priest thought Diana was dead and is so happy to see her alive that when Anna orders him to tell them everything he knows about the soul, and Diana nods, the priest delivers his report. The soul is truly unique, not a curse, but the greatest gift a species has ever found. He recommends that they embrace it. Diana nods that all those years she has been held captive by her evil daughter she never gave up hope. The priest tells her it was the soul that sustained her. Anna claps her hands in glee at all these facts. Not really. The priest has no plans to deliver any more information to Anna. Instead he just nods at Diana who then eats his neck. Anna can NOT believe her mother. This is totally worse than that time Diana made out with her prom date while she was in the bathroom trying to cover up her pimple. Diana shrugs, she just gave a loyal servant the honorable death he deserved. (Note to self: Do nothing honorable.) Diana agrees with the dearly departed priest: The soul is not a curse, it is a blessing, and they must not deny their species this gift. Anna glares at her mother and points out that she just killed her only ally. Diana looks down in the dumps as Anna leaves her alone to think long and hard about what she's done.
Back at Fab Four HQ, Father Jack is really displeased that they are teaming up with Eli Cohen. Everyone else points out that they don't really have a choice in the matter. Father Jack returns to his parish disheartened, only to see something even more disheartening: His trashed office with the V logo emblazoned on the wall. Who would commit such heinous crimes against the church? Father Travis has the answer: It's Jack's fault. Not those pesky kids, but Father Jack. Naturally. Unnaturally, I still think there is NO WAY a man of that age is named Travis. I mean, there is NO WAY.
Back at FBI HQ, Erica thanks her partner, nay her friend, for covering for her while she spent some quality time with "Tyler." Bolling shrugs in his trademark (pending) creepy way and reminds her that they are, indeed, friends and she can trust him. Don't trust him, Erica. Just, no. Erica then reports that with his plan to look at the big picture with a wide angle lens she realized 1. Pantsuits aren't actually that flattering and 2. That the number she found on a back of a receipt in the warehouse raid is a code. She ran it through a substitution cipher (sure you did, honey) and figured out it was a license plate number for a blue van. Bolling nods, because several witnesses saw a blue van leaving the Peace Ambasssador murder scene. Erica tells him the address on file with the DMV is a small cabin in the woods upstate. So she heads off on her second trip upstate that day. No wonder Tyler feels ignored and is acting out.
The FBI raids the cabin just as we see Kyle and Ryan making a run for it. Erica and Bolling and some extras raid the cabin and find two scapegoats chewing up the curtains and mawwwwwwing. In the bathroom is a (well, another) grisly scene: a bathtub filled with blood splatter and chunky bits? Like SpaghettiOs with meat. Thanks for that image, show! Bolling finds Malik's badge on the toilet seat as if her last moments on earth were spent on the can. He calls Erica in to bid farewell to the remains of her partner. Erica does her usual wide-eyed nod thing. Maybe this time it means she is in shock? Oh who are we kidding. It just means it's high time someone bough Elizabeth Mitchell a refresher course at the Stella Adler studio. Maybe there's a Groupon and we can all pitch in.
Up on the Mothership, Ryan slaps Malik's skin mask (hey show: gross) on Anna's desk. He explains (read: lies) that he couldn't save Malik, but he knows that her cover never broke and her mission remains secret. Anna nods almost solemnly, but I'm probably projecting out of desperation for somebody (anybody!) to start actually acting. No luck. Did you ever take drama classes and have to play a game where people do and say all sorts of crazy things and your job is to not react but to very calmly respond appropriately? Well whether you have played or not, what you see in the scene is an example of that game perfectly played: Ryan tells Anna to bliss his daughter. Nothing. She says no. He makes no facial expression as he reminds her that she promised. She very stonily tells him that she wants more from him. He needs to befriend Eli Cohen and then destroy the Fifth Column. She holds up Malik's head sack thing (hey show: gross) for emphasis on the destroy-them-all part. Ryan looks away, stone cold. Well done guys! Well, that's the bell. See you week when we cover "emoting".
Erica swings by the church instead of, say, heading home to see her son. Father Jack is pitifully trying to scrub the giant V off the wall when Erica wanders in. Jack hands her Tyler's phone and she watches the video on it. She breaks down when she sees how her decision CHOICE to work and bring in a paycheck have caused her child to act out and desecrate a church. Clearly this is all her fault. She reassesses her life choices and apologizes to Jack and to God the father, God the son, and God the Holy Ghost for her son's behavior. As she cries, Father Jack holds her hand and then her head and as she asks for help, he promises to always be there for her. I think they are having a moment, guys! I think they are. Good thing Father Jack will totally be getting kicked out of the clergy soon for speaking his mind so that he and Erica can creep on each
other without getting yelled at by the Catholic Church or some parents or something.
Back at FBI HQ, Creepy Bolling is working late while Erica makes out with a priest. And they wonder why men get promoted, sheesh. The boss comes in and asks about something and Bolling reminds him that he wanted information on anything untoward that Erica might be up to. The boss nods and Bolling tells him that Erica said she hadn't spoken to Jack in weeks, but here she is on camera just a few days ago talking to Jack. Oh don't worry guys, it's nothing untoward, she's just having an affair with a priest.
