![]() I get it – she’s no nonsense, asserting authority, won’t be mansplained – but in three or four consecutive scenes with her, she’s just too aggressive for me to buy that she’s had that much success as a Station Whisperer. She is just so confrontational in almost every current day scene that it irritates the hell out of me. P.S., as an aside, B.B.’s lover, who is, I think named Augustus, is a not quite Scott Foley looking guy, for those of you who watch Scandal. Yate’s back story, which wasn’t that interesting. I wish we’d had as much info about his childhood as we got about B.B. I’d say Daniel Miller appeared in about a third of the episode. Where did this bug come from? I don’t remember seeing a plant at any time – so is it possible, that Daniel’s connection with Lena was successful and she’s wearing a wire? If I missed something here, let me know. Plot hole or hint? Later, after Otto gets a lecture from Hector about how he treats Lena, his best asset, Lena and Otto have a stroll near a river, and Daniel and Hector are listening in. ( Apparently, the CIA now has the financial link necessary to tie the two together – this was really breezed over in dialogue). I assume this is OK with the Germans and Americans, since they need the plan to go forward – they need the weapons transaction to take place in order to take down and link Katarina Gerhardt and Otto Ganz. After they do steal the van, and Daniel pretends to shoot the security guard off screen ( he doesn’t) because Lena doesn’t have the stomach for it, it seems to reason that the guard will report the stolen van. Vans and trucks have been used in a number of attacks world-wide lately. Plot hole? If the first van was seized, why aren’t the Germans on some sort of alert. Of course, Daniel needs to know the target, and so far, they’ve had no luck. ![]() Now she needs another one, and he helps her obtain it.īefore and after, he mines Lena, trying to figure out exactly where she stands with all this, especially her fear of her father’s wrath and how she feels about being left out of important details. Daniel denies any knowledge of the missing Armando (killed in Spain -) The rest of his action is devoted to helping Lena cover up her screw up when the van ( for the attack) they had originally stolen was seized. I think this is left intentionally vague. ![]() How close they stand to one another makes me wonder whether there’s still anything sexual between them. He has a short scene reporting to Esther on what’s going on with Ganz. This plot point is the where Daniel comes into the episode. So, it remains to be seen whether or if this parent/child story line has any bigger pay off for the series, aside from the Lena/Otto relationship. The parent/child relationship has some cred in this week’s episode, because it looks like Lena is not completely on board with her father’s plans ( to create some sort of devastating attack on the day of the German election that will kill hundreds of people, and be blamed on Muslims, Isis, or what not.) Noah gets into a fight his first day at school, and we don’t know why, or whether it even matters. got engaged to a co-worker while at the retreat, but he later dies in a car accident (accident?)Īnd finally, and completely irrelevant to almost anything, there’s the tension between Robert Kirsch and his son Noah, who, it turns out, is not in Berlin for a visit, but is rather, there to live and attend school. ( We know almost nothing about this, except that B.B. We learn later that the guru ( Hyacinth, I once knew one) is somehow involved in some sort of financial fraud, and is arrested along with the main perp. The story is mostly about how she watched her mother drive away from their family home at night, never to return. We see flashbacks to where she is somewhere in ( Switzerland?) at some new age, yoga, spiritual retreat, spilling her guts to a female guru. There was also, last season, some narrative about Esther Krug’s father, which seemed more positive, although, according to Daniel, he was a pretty bad guy during the East German heyday ( if there was one). Not sure of the father story, since he might have told it only to connect with Lena, Otto Ganz’s daughter, who also has a missing mother. ![]() There was also some talk this season about a slightly abusive relationship between Daniel and his father. Last season, there was unfinished business about how Daniel’s mother was maybe collateral damage in a car bomb aimed at an East German traitor on the night she left Daniel and his father. What’s the story with the parents? There seems to be a recurring, but undeveloped theme in both seasons 1 and 2 relating to our characters’ parents. If you haven’t watched it and don’t want to be spoiled, stop reading now. It seems like the titles of this season’s episodes have the word right, hence, my own title. For a full description of the plot for last night’s episode, I refer you to Me and Richard.
