I love this show. I'm still trying to figure out how I missed it when it first aired. But there was something missing from this episode - and not just Sophie. The usual tension wasn't there, not even near the end when you were supposed to think that Tara (Jeri Ryan) betrayed Eliot and the team. Maybe it wasn't as obvious during the original airing, without knowing she would be back for a few more episodes, but here, it was just a matter of seeing how it would play out.
I've always like Jeri Ryan. I still do. But I haven't warmed up to her character yet. And what was that accent? I know she was supposed to be an Italian designer, but she alternated between sounding Italian and sounding Russian. Although I won't mind seeing how the character of Tara and her relationship to the rest of the team develops, I'll be glad when Gina Bellman is back full time.
All in all, the episode was fun with a cute plot, but I thought it was missing the usual excitement.
