Television is the new movies
Jericho 1.18 A.K.A.
Posted Wednesday, April 11, 2007
Lets we get the small plot lines out of the way first. Emily tries teaching again, but fails miserably when her "students" decide they have better things to do than hear her prattle on. Allison stay and they sort of bond over their messed up families. Johnston is going through a rough patch because he's no longer mayor (and understandably so considering who he gave up his position to). Gail tries to help him, then decides to let him just help himself. And the cutest story line was Mimi trying to be a mother figure to Bonnie, and telling her she doesn't like Sean. She also spends a lot of time talking to a chicken before eventually killing to so they have some grub. Bonnie and Mimi end up having a rather touching conversation about how Stanley is important to Mimi, and so is Bonnie, and that she's trying.
In the major storyline Jake and Hawkins have a sit down about Hawkins' past. It turns out (if you believe him and I think the writers want us to, thus the flashbacks) he is a covert branch of the CIA who learned about a large terrorist group in the US who got some nukes and split them into 25 "packages". Hawkins went undercover to infiltrate one of the cells, with Sarah as his handler, to try and find out who was in charge. He didn't succeed, and they were only able to stop a few of the bombs, including New York and Hawkins' target. Because of projections of fallout Jericho was chosen a rally point because it was clear of the fallout zones. Hawkins ends up showing Jake the nuke, and Jake agrees to go along with the lie that Hawkins is FBI. Hawkins also realizes that the bald old guy he saw on the satellite last week was the guy in charge of the CIA covert group. So the question lingers is that, was the CIA group really CIA, is the bald old guy still with the CIA, or was he a double agent? Until next time,
Namaste
