Hana is having fun with TV along with her boyfriend Ethan McPherson (Michael Raymond-James) because the episode begins. I am thrilled after I see the ladies on Remy’s staff experiencing romance. Why ought to Ray (Edwin Hodge) and Remy be the one ones comfortable at residence? To make up for being MIA these days, Ethan shares his plan to take Hana to the Radio Metropolis Christmas Spectacular. They’re about to kiss when Ethan stops to take the canine out. The second he steps out, a message seems on his cellphone, and the agent in Hana cannot move up the chance to learn it. The message says, “Missed you tonight. I will be up late in case you want me. XOXO” (hugs and kisses). Hana’s bliss did not final lengthy did it.
After being topped, sashed, and bouqueted, Miss Honduras (Susana Sierra) started her victory stroll earlier than dropping lifeless. Sarin fuel, a chemical weapon, kills Miss Honduras, Miss Philippines, and injures Miss Canada, prompting Remy’s staff to reply. The Fugitive Process Pressure (FTF) plans to interview all of the contestants as potential suspects, and Remy says, “Whereas we’re at it, we will ask them how they’d finish world starvation.” Humorous, proper? I instructed you Remy will get the most effective traces.
In the meantime, Remy and Particular Agent Sheryll Barnes (Roxy Sternberg) went to the lodge the place the pageant contestants have been staying to evaluate safety tapes. Remy and Particular Agent Sheryll Barnes (Roxy Sternberg) discover a lady utilizing the worker entrance, who nobody else acknowledges however Remy. That girl was a contestant, Annalise Neilson, who had launched herself to Remy as Miss Norway. The girl’s actual identify is Harper Dowar (Caroline Day). She’s not a magnificence contestant; she’s not Norwegian, and this is not a easy homicide case, however reasonably a world spy caper just like the Bourne Identification.
Conversations with the Honduran embassy and Harper’s former regulation professor, Ben Lifkowitz (David Manis), slowed the present a bit. However I perceive that the plot wanted these characters to assist set up Harper as a world murderer. The FBI found by way of the embassy that Harper had used a 3rd pretend passport to enter Honduras. Honduras ought to have deported Harper, however her case disappeared. How? Why? The Honduran authorities thought of Miss Honduras an anti-government dissident who wanted to be killed in a brazen method—ala a dwell TV broadcast—to discourage future dissenters. Harper was the lady to see the job completed.

Harper’s professor felt harm when she rejected his suggestion for a job
with the regulation agency. He doesn’t give suggestions casually. As an alternative, Harper went to Paris on vacation for a few months and stayed there for a yr. Why? She fell in love. The professor had photographs of Harper along with her love curiosity, Adrien Dubois (Nicolas Sellar). Presto change-o, the FBI found Adrien Dubois had a number of aliases and, like Harper, was an murderer for rent.
Harper continues her one-woman crime spree. She kills this Vietnamese man whereas he takes a selfie outdoors of a restaurant. Following this assassination, Remy’s staff tracks Harper’s actions with the assistance of CCTV cameras. Harper leads to New Jersey carrying a heavy bag, thought to perhaps comprise a bomb or a protracted gun. Ray spots a press move hooked up to the bag. Coincidentally, the Argentinean soccer staff has a scheduled photoshoot with their president. Sheryll calls an outdated pal, Chief Vincent Sayles (Colin Walker), who cheekily solutions the cellphone, saying, “Particular Agent Barnes loves Kim Carnes.” Remy interrupts, directing the chief to cease the photoshoot by any means needed.

The FTF rushes to the stadium. As they method, Sheryll Barnes (Roxy Sternberg) spots the automotive Harper drives. As they break into the automobile, they uncover that the bag Harper had been carrying was crammed with cash! Harper will need to have been there to assassinate the president. Whereas imply mugging, Remy orders the staff to fan out. He barks, “Keep alert. Watch your again. Finger on the set off.” Remy finds Harper first. They tussle. She loses the combat with Remy, however not the battle with the FBI. Later, the CIA acquires her with the intention of extraditing her to the Philippines.
Remy thinks Harper is there to assassinate the Argentinian president. The third act twist reveals that Harper shouldn’t be the supposed murderer. The CIA has employed her to dispatch the actual murderer, her former lover Dubois. Remy is skeptical till Harper explains that she is aware of how Dubois works. To show this, Harper says Dubois by no means works alone and works with somebody within the President’s safety element. Remy is not swayed. Harper questions why the photoshoot was nonetheless going down when the FBI ordered it canceled. Remy radios Ray to seek out out who cleared the menace. Ray locates the ‘inside man’ simply as Dubois kills him. The FBI closes in on Dubois, and Remy wounds him in the course of the shootout.
The story turns into delightfully soapy when Harper and Dubois begin to quarrel. Harper taunts that she’s working for the CIA. Dubois accuses her of
loving cash greater than him. If she hadn’t, she ought to have returned to her life within the U.S. This induced Harper to scream, “What life? You ruined my life.” Fed up with them each, Remy tells Dubois, “The CIA employed her to take you down.” Stay to die one other day. Drop your gun, Frenchie.” Instructed you that Remy had the most effective traces. A girl scorned, Harper spit out, “It is ironic; you are the one individual I might have killed without spending a dime.” Growth!
Dubois was simply someone that she used to know.

The episode returns to Hana and Ethan’s story. He canceled their date to the Christmas spectacular as a result of he needed to work. He instructed her he’d make it as much as
her. “Certain,” Hana says with snark. “We will see a Christmas present any time.” Ethan met with the mysterious Jaimie. Later, Hana finds him handed out on his sofa, excessive on oxycodone. She yells, “I knew I used to be proper about you. I am completed with you.” Might or not it’s that Ethan is now simply someone Hana used to know?
I am keen on Dylan McDermott and luxuriate in this present, however I would like it to enhance after reviewing it. My recommendation: shake up the forged with a high-profile visitor star who hangs round for a few episodes; cease wrapping issues up in a single episode; or let the staff do one thing morally ambiguous, however not unlawful. I do not know; simply change it. Once more, the FBI has misplaced a few of its luster. Nevertheless, its saving grace is the peek into the non-public lives of the FTF members. As a self-confessed sucker for cleaning soap operas, that is what constantly attracts me again.
