Amanda returns and gets Mac in trouble again.

A nice sexy opener with Amanda singing with a German accent near in Nazi Germany. She's up to no good, looking to steal currency plates. There was also a flashback of Mac helping a scientist leave Nazi Germany. He runs into Amanda as she is also trying to flee the country with the plates.

Amanda tells Mac she heard about Tessa. How did Amanda hear about Tessa? This goes back to another a review I did in season one 'Free Fall,' when I asked the question of how immortal seem to know about other immortals they've never met before. Are they on a message board in the early days on the internet posting gossip and rumors? That would be kind of funny actually.

Amanda is trying to have the dates changed from the WWII plate and 2 FBI agents are after her. Mac doesn't know who they are and Amanda lies and tells him she has no idea why they are after her. Mac thinks it's The Watchers and tells Amanda all about them. Amanda and Mac hook-up. Eventually, Mac discovers the truth. One of the FBI agents kills the other and blackmails Mac/Amanda into giving him the plates.

Mac sets up the crooked agent and makes it look like the agent killed 2 unknown people(Mac and Amanda) due to Richie videotaping the event which is sent to the police.

What exactly took guts, when at the end Richie tells Amanda what she did took guts? She's an immortal so no one was ever going to kill her. She was shot in the back and in the water along with Mac. No big deal for these two. I don't get that line. It makes no sense.

Well, Amanda was back getting Mac into trouble and lying to him right to his face. But he's ok with it. Go figure. To top it off she treated Tessa atrociously in the past and gets Mac to hook-up with her anyway. This was a light episode. I gave it a 6/10.

It must be hard to impress Amanda.

The one big thing lacking from this episode is this. The last time that Amanda and Richie saw each other was in Paris, before Richie experienced his first death and became immortal. Here Amanda shows up but she is not surprised nor even mentions anything about Richie being a new immortal. I personally believe that that would have been a very interesting moment to watch.

dear Amanda, always something...

Done well with the "past" story fitting the "present" almost seamlessly. Her "entrance", with who do you want, Richie or Mac, course its Mac, and he really "knows how to get a girl off her feet". Mac grumbling about the espresso/coffee machine and spilling it all over while she "sizes" up his place, suits him but she not to get used to it. Course she also tries and make it seem its been longer since they saw one another, an well she always seems to "betray" him, though sometimes, well a few anyways, not on purpose., but well we learned, told Tessa that she made him laugh when there was not much to laugh about, hmmm give her a pass, but he does have more on her than anyone knows, but we have to wait till end of series to learn this.

Cute "seduction" well she tried anyway as he wonders where she was going to stay, says and has a place but didn't think was needed (well guess she assumed wrong this round). The bad guys after her, not immortal, but that too not unusual for her, but not watchers as Mac at first thought. FBI well ya but not good guys, they want what Amanda got in the past story that also involved Mac and him getting someone out of Germany (WW2 and Hitler major bad) and in in that part of the story learned Amanda and Mac both could fly a plane. Stole real plates to print money from some one while performing, and boy for the era was risqué, but suited her, poor guy got nothing not even a kiss before some others bad (?) ones, came to get the guy, and the guy was killed and she was told to sing.

Mac expects sharks to bite, and Amanda to be well Amanda, though her heart tries to be in right place, sorta this time. You don't have a mother as she don't know them, course he got shot, he will live.

Past story, thought was part of story when Mac on bike with sidecar went off the road was part of story, but found out on commentary was not, but it worked. And Amanda's I'll not forget this as he has given her his seat on the 2 seater, his kiss and yes you will.

Love the way they set up the bad FBI, though the rest of the good cops can not figure out where and what happen to the bodies, as they know this bad cop would and did shoot to kill and so point blank, well guess the bodies caught some real swift unexplained current out so may may never be found, hmmm wonder what they would think about them walking and talking an living still or again, immortal unless head removed, hmm then the few headless bodies explained that didn't disappear (buried by the one who won or watchers or well never completely told).

Amanda does love Mac and he her...though very diff than Tessa...again the seduction, but this time its Mac, the plane will be there in the morning.
