I don't go for this idea at all
I liked the episode. I was railing about the latest plot development and was gonna shoot it down here, but the episode itself, with the terrorist suicide bombing, won me over. But early on the season shot itself in the foot with this damned idea of Annie being sick/ill/weakened. Dammit, yeah, she was shot in Season 4, yeah, of course a price has to be paid for that... but I don't want this storyline for our Annie, not for, as I call her, "the real supergirl" (because Supergirl has alien superpowers, and is therefore a flying arsenal and not really as much of a heroine, but Annie is normal flesh and blood and caring warmth = true heroine)

Yeah, by Season 5, they grasp at this stupid idea. Bad enough the worst case ever of "playing blind" is in here, Auggie is blind only when the plot calls for it. Christopher Gorham's eyes follow movement throughout the series. I don't think Auggie's blindness adds anything much to the show, because it's the single most unconvincing aspect.

Yeah, I haven't watched anything up ahead, but this is gonna mess up the final season. And on DVD has that beautiful pic of Annie qith her handgun, not hoarse-voiced and wheezing. Come on, could have come up with something (anything) better! 'Cause this is only gonna be bummer city big-time!

Incidentally, I am a human facial recognition Wonder! That Borz terrorist guy, I went "he reminds me of someone." It kept bothering me way in. Then, Julia's boyfriend in PARTY OF FIVE...! that was like half a lifetime ago :) Hell, if I hadda put up with fake laughter Julia Salinger I'd be a terrorist too... stupid joke there, but still...
