If you haven't seen this episode yet, don't read this.
It's been five minutes since the episode ended and I'm still shaking my head. I don't know what I just watched, but it's like the writers wanted to see if anyone was still paying attention and decided to throw in any unbelievable scenario and dialogue they could. I can't even. I'm surprised there wasn't a standing ovation and a Purple Heart waiting for Weller when he landed. After all, he somehow boarded a plane, disarmed a nuke, killed a pilot and got into a super lucky fight with a lady who half his size with twice his strength who broke away to rearm the nuke in a plane with an open hangar door before shooting her then strapping himself in a parachute and diving out after her, catching up with her in time to disarm the nuke again in midair thousands of feet above New York by tapping tiny numbers on her wristwatch, then sitting in self-satisfaction wearing goggles he somehow found time to put on while watching the now harmless nuke fall gently into the Hudson.
Ah, but you think that's unbelievable? How about throwing in a random kid? Jane had a kid and forgot about her. That's completely believable, she did get her memory wiped. However, Weller-With-the-Impeccable-Timing for everything somehow managed to already meet her in a country of millions. That's fine, divine intervention or whatever. But...somehow Mr. Boy Scout suddenly becomes an expert marksman and shoots a random running figure behind a white sheet, not knowing if it's an innocent person and with an aim so perfect she's killed instantly? This is the guy who wastes dozens of bullets shooting around all the bad guys. Give. Me. A. Break. But of course she somehow managed to apparently fake her death because here she is again. Weller and Jane are actually kind of terrible together, I was happy that they broke up for a reason that there would be absolutely no return from. Except not anymore. If I ever decide to rewatch this show, this will be an episode I skip.
