Auggie (Christopher Gorham) and Parker (Devin Kelley) are in the Red Sea on the boat with Debbie and Wade (Brendan Hines). On the beach Auggie proposes to Parker and she finds a ring in an oyster shell. When they return they find Debbie fell and injured her head. Wade's radioed for help. Auggie says this wasn't a good idea and a small boat approaches. They're pirates. The opening credits remind me of a cross between Alias and Spy Game (the TV series, not the movie). Auggie tries to remove the ring from Parker's finger but it's taken.
Annie (Piper Perabo) receives a call from Parker's phone which was made by Auggie. Debbie is taken to hospital. An American woman is the hostage negotiator. Her name is Annalise (Julianne Nicholson) and she appears to be running this band of pirates. She puts her hand in front of his eyes in the old ploy to check if he's really blind. Joan (Karri Matchet) warns off Lena (Sarah Clarke).
Auggie doesn't want to be separated from Parker and tells the man she and Wade are engaged, only Wade's left the ring at home to be resized. Their families will be involved since wade's father has money and Annalise is obsessed with Auggie's physique. He wore a uniform and she sees his tattoo. So he will get more money in a ransom.
Lena knows people at the State Department and two hostages died recently. Annalise demands $8 million and increases this to $10 million. There's a scuffle between Wade and the pirate as he comes to take Parker to the loo. Wade stood up for her which was good and Auggie tells him he needs to sell that.
Auggie admits to Parker that he's CIA, he wanted to talk to her about it in Washington. Wade thinks it was a smart move that he and Parker were engaged. Parker really cares about Auggie and talks about him all the time. The Peace Corps is a blast. Well she won't talk to him now. Wade gives Auggie his ring back, he found it on the ground after their scuffle.
Simon (Richard Coyle) needs his phone charger and calls Annie, she wants to go to Paris. The facility is raided by Topaz Securities. They raided the wrong house. Annalise now demands $15 million in two hours and they will also lose a hostage. Joan says she thought Lena had them standing down. Reminding her she's taking risks with operatives and unkept promises. She's reminded of Nairobi. Jonathan wasn't professional. Well Lena doesn't really care about others, they're just collateral damage if they get in the way.
They are being moved and Auggie says they must escape since hostages don't survive moves. The road block is the best way. Parker freezes. Annie says there's a ship and SEALs in the area. But Joan wants to wire the money now. Annie knows Auggie will follow his training and no one knows him better than her.
They escape when the truck stops and Wade grabs the gun. They need to get to a roof but when they find one, they must jump to the next one since they're surrounded by antennas. Auggie and Parker jump together. That was a long two minutes for the helicopter to arrive. Simon called Annie about his phone ad she didn't give it to him. Lena tells Annie one day she'll be the story. Auggie now on his knees; his only secret was his being in the CIA. What about Annie though and their unspoken feelings?
Have to ask about Annie and Simon, she knows how dangerous he is and yet she seems to be playing games with him, like taking his charger so he calls her back and Lena encourages this, to get Intel. So female agents aren't encouraged to sleep with the enemy in missions, but Annie did it anyway. Lena appears to be a bad influence on her and that's another reason why Joan hates, yes hates her. Auggie proves what a bad ass he really is, even if he is blind, doesn't mean his training won't come in handy and it does here, as he saves their lives.
Not sure about Parker doubting his sincerity just cos he didn't tell her who he is, erm, not really meant to most of the time. You don't get round telling people, no matter how much you like them you're CIA. Only reviewed this ep cos Brendan Hines was in it, but he didn't get that big a part. Neither did Julianne Nicholson and besides she got away.
The engagement ring in an oyster shell was a nice touch, I was about to ask where's the pearl? On the ring, ha.
