 Did you ever start your day with a bad dream that just changed the way you dealt with things for the rest of your waking hours? That’s what happened to the President in this episode and saying that he woke up on the wrong side of the bed would have been an understatement. It’s amazing how this series continues to move forward at such a breakneck pace. The battle between mother and son hit a new plateau in this episode with the evil son outwitting his mother. The biggest problem is that Thomas’s true plan was obvious to all of us while everyone on the show seemed clueless until after they fell victim. It is TV though. More plans were revealed, questions answered and questions asked in this episode which is what you hope for in serialized TV. This new President should be more entertaining if he can maintain this new level of determination. Also, Sean is now a wild card and he’s set up to be a fly in the ointment and that also is a good thing. Laura Innes has been one of the most entertaining actors on this show and this episode did not let us down. Haven’t been watching this show? Then by all means catch up because it has really fond its groove and it progressing nicely from week to week.
