Trivia

When reviewing the mission to investigate the blast site, the US Navy Admiral mentions that they will "use a Fulton recovery of any material samples." The Fulton Surface to Air Recovery System (STARS) is nicknamed 'Skyhook' and is the same system featured in The Dark Knight (2008) and Thunderball (1965). See more »

Goofs

When the letter that Frank wrote to the deceased trooper's family is shown at the end and the date of his death is shown to be Sunday, October 18. The year must be 2015 since only then was the 18th of October a Sunday, but the year can also be seen on the top of the letter, although it is not crystal clear. The episode aired on the 27th of February, 2015. See more »

Hanging by a Thread in the Middle East
3 March 2015 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

The episode begins with a Russian patrol (eight men) being ambushed and killed. What happens, however, is that they refuse to have any oversight, even from UN forces. This now brings the Israelis into the conflict and Frank must mediate from a distance. He is quite sure that the Russians killed their own men to embarrass the President and destroy any autonomy in the region. Now the terrorists are putting their stamp on things. There are some really gut wrenching scenes in the war room as American soldiers are sent in to investigate.

The second plot concerns Doug. He meets with Gavin one more time and Gavin gives him evidence that Rachel has died, her body found in a ditch. Doug's reaction to the woman who practically beat his head in with a rock is great sadness. He has become obsessed with her as a real mother figure (he hearkens back to her reading to him). Anyway, back to the booze. Gavin is apparently not going to get his passport and all his work has gone for naught. He ends up seeing the President, admitting that everything he did was to show that he was still relevant.

Remy is also focused on. He is still in love with Jackie. There is an ugly scene where a cop pulls him over for speeding and he is treated like a criminal. He has just been embarrassed by an Iowa politician who has called him a chauffeur and refused to talk to him as an equal.

These are the episodes that make this so great. Everything is done with such polish.
