The Bad Influence Speaks

Covert Affairs: Hang On To Yourself

Season 3, Episode 1

 

After Jai's shocking death, Annie and Auggie are moved to separate departments. Auggie is in charge of Jai's old office and Annie is investigating with a new team who runs on the fast side. Hopefully she can keep up. Sarah Clarke joins the cast and Richard Coyle guest stars.

Annie: You're the best mother a sister could have.

 

Joan: Nights at home you say we're a team, that I'm your most trusted council, but you pull rank when the shit goes down.

Comments:
○ Sweet mercy! I was not expecting that to happen to Jai. Talk about out of the blue. Man, I'm going to miss his deceptive, snarky ass.
○ Is this the new getting to know you? Measuring you passport against another's. I'd fail that. Mine is currently blank. I haven't been able to afford to go anywhere since I renewed it.
○ The whole "female operatives are discouraged from sleeping with marks because they get attached, we ignore that" thing? Annie's screwed (quite literally). She's already attached to him somewhat. Hell, I'm attached to Simon already even though he's a bad, bad man.

Covert Affairs: A Girl Like You

Season 2, Episode 13

 

Annie's FBI contact asks her for a favor to check out who is approaching his informant and she is surprised to find her Mossad friend, Eyal Lavin, is the culprit. Is Mossad operating in America or is there something more personal going on? Oded Fehr guest stars.

Annie: Oh, don't sell yourself short, Auggie. Nobody finds nothing like you.

 

Eyal: If this is how you treat a man, I think I like it.

Comments:
I swear Oded Fehr gets hotter every year.

Oh, was I supposed to say something about the show? I like how they keep bring Eyal Lavin back and expanding his and Annie's relationship. They play well off each other and Piper Perabo and Oded Fehr have great chemistry.

Covert Affairs Quotes

Covert Affairs: Uberlin

Season 2, Episode 12

Annie is in Berlin on a case when an old asset (and flame) of Arthur's comes into the picture. Now she's trying to juggle Joan in DC and Arthur in Berlin.

Annie: I realize we don't always get the chance to make things right. Sometimes what's done is done. I just hop this isn't on of those times.

Covert Affairs Quotes

Covert Affairs: The Wake Up Bomb

Season 2, Episode 11

 

Annie is down in the dumps from a failed mission and having to move out of her sister's house when she stumbles on a Basque plot.

Joan: Let's be perfectly clear. I'm not asking you to sleep with anyone. I'm asking you to locate and assess a potential threat. How you do that is up to you.

Comments:
1) I'm not sure whether to cheer on Jai or slowly back away from potential danger. Very sneaky and manipulative.
2) I've mocked those light colored shooties Annie wears for a while now. Watching this episode, I realized that I had bought the same damned shoes in a darker color during a FFANY event. I promise though not to wear them with ankle pants. Skirts or full length pants only.

Covert Affairs Quotes

Covert Affairs: World Leader Pretend

Season 2, Episode 10

 

Annie helps a Chinese engineer defect, but in the process he is poisoned and she searches for who did it against the State Department's wishes. In her personal life, she faces telling her sister about the job.

Auggie: Look, there's no manual for this kind of thing. Just be honest.
Annie: Be honest about having been dishonest?
Auggie: Exactly.

 

Auggie: I can't believe you're pulling a Lando Calrissian on me.

Covert Affairs Quotes

Covert Affairs: Sad Professor

 

Season 2, Episode 9

 

When Annie's former language professor is killed, she learns that he was a covert CIA operative. She must find the information he was due to pass on before it falls into the wrong hands or harms his wife. The incident forces Annie to consider if she wants to read Dani in on her job.

Dani: Come on, I'm seriously overdue for some Annie time.
Annie: Annie time is pretty awesome

 

Dani: Yield, people. Why won't you yield?

 

Annie: It still doesn't seem real.
Auggie: That your professor died or that he was CIA?
Annie: Both.

 

Annie: Great. So all I have to do is scour the house of a college professor looking for a single millimeter sized period on a normal looking document.
Auggie: It's like finding a needle in a haystack in a forest full of haystacks. Ironically, I have about as much chance of finding it as you do.

 

Joan: I don't think we use killers as chess pieces. I want them brought to justice. CIA takes care of its own.

Comments:
1) I hate those beige heeled booties she wore through the entire episode. Life is too short for ugly shoes.
2) I promised a friend some shirtless Jai captures if he had any nudity. You're welcome, Soli.
