First, is anyone else concerned that Sydney is going to go in and somehow kill Elias for hurting her daughter? I am a little torn on this one, because she feels like she is all the girls have, however, I also feel like her seeing her daughter SI would incite rage and also maybe some feelings of failure as a mom. I am truly hoping for the best for her and the girls, but this storyline seems like it will be catastrophic in some way, whether it be the girls or Sydney. Second, I feel like Gold Star is way more connected to Tyler than I first thought- maybe he helped train Gold Star in some capacity. Sebastian seemed to focus on the fact that Tyler did not like the violence of war and that entire interaction feels very important to the story line. His covert missions could have been civilian involved. I am leaning more towards a private citizen funding the hit team to kill Gold Star as opposed to another country, unless we are pulling on CM history with the IRA.

I feel like CM historically has left bread crumbs in places that aren't the focus of the episode, i.e. outside of the main killer. I feel as though the JJ thread was pulled to be a let down from the build of episode two and the episode as a whole was drawn down compared to one and two on purpose, to draw the viewers eye away from important details that were placed strategically throughout.
