Things had already reached the point where I was watching this show for the Hannah stuff while fast-forwarding through everything else, so of course they had to go and ruin that with a couple of big bits of stupid. First, she meets with her shady British boy toy alone when neither she nor anyone else should have allowed it, and then, after shooting him, she just goes off to have a drink or ten. So much for contacting the appropriate people and finding the body and confirming the death, or anything like that. And then, of course, we get the requisite scene of the boy toy showing us, the audience, that he had been wearing a bulletproof vest. Because that trope never gets old. Beyond that, it's sad to see that a show that began as an investigation into something as monumentally huge as the bombing of the U.S. Capitol Building in an attempt to destroy the American government has degenerated into lame and boring story lines like this one that involved a small group of people in a fire zone. Seriously? This is the sort of nail-biting successor to that initial story line that's supposed to keep people watching? And lastly, we get one more overused trope: the T-boned vehicle crash. Not only is it unoriginal, but it's also an impossibility in the context of the Secret Service protecting the First Lady. Those side streets would have been shut down during the drive. Oh, well. I'm done. As I said, I was in it for Hannah and now they've finished ruining her for me, so it's a good time to bail on this mess.
