"The Brink" Recap: "Tweet Tweet Tweet"

THIS IS THE EMERGENCY SPOILER ALERT SYSTEM...YOU ARE ADVISED TO READ AT YOUR OWN RISK...

Some things just don’t get any better, which is what Walter Larson is starting to find out. After being ordered by the President to return Stateside as soon as possible, Walter is still hoping to find out what happened to his guy Raja.  With no help from anyone else that works in the state department, Walter is surprised to see that his wife is working for his nemesis Pierce.  Even though Joanne does not want to help with whatever Walter’s next plan is going to be, she is able to get him a location of the coup leader so possibly a happy medium can be found and the crazy General Zaman can still be removed from power.

In the embassy, Alex Talbot/Uncle Creepy is able to get the girls from Fareeda’s school tucked away from harm, but what he does not know about is why the Ambassador is allowing them to stay.  That changes when Kittredge calls Talbot into his office and tells the recent over achiever about a dream, maybe it was a vision that he had seen during the week and that the seven girls will be their ride into the heavens when the world comes to an end.  Knowing that Kittredge is off of his rocker, Alex tries to take the girls to safety before it is too late, but finds out that the embassy is on lock down.  Not knowing what is happening in the outside world, Alex walks in to the Ambassador’s office and finds out that the tweets that the girls sent out while in the building has led to trouble that may leave the embassy in pieces.

Zeke and Glenn are still under the care and protection of Martin and Vanessa, but are having a hard time figuring out what is really happening.  Without a way to escape the thief’s paradise, all they want is to use a phone so they can get retrieved, but the two Brits have something different in store for the pilots. Trying to get the two Navy men to role play with Vanessa, a darker side seems to come out of Martin as he shoots Zeke in the chest with an old musket.  Although Zeke is ok since the ball did not make it through the old conquistador armor he was wearing, he is still very peeved at the man, but he is not the only one when Martin and Vanessa start their own battle.  Shooting her husband in the leg with a crossbow, Vanessa has to load everyone into the car and get him some help.  Arriving in a warlord’s village, Zeke and Glenn think that their troubles might be over, but when the son of the warlord enters the building and sees the man that broke his nose a couple days ago, the two pilots appear to be right back where they stared.

I must admit that I fear the worst for Walter Larson this week as he has been blindsided by his wife taking a job under Pierce.  Without being able to find out what is really happening with his coup leader Raja leaving the country and now this, it is fantastic to see how he keeps it together, but his reins are being tightened by the President, so his normal tactics might not work on his plane ride home.  Alex is just the creepy uncle now, but his intentions are good.  Even Fareeda is starting to notice a difference in him, but not enough to fall for…just yet.  And Rafiq may end up beating up Alex if he actually touches Fareeda, or worse tell her about all of the crazy things the man has done. 

Now with the lock down happening in the embassy, Alex has to prove his worth once again, since the new treats coming his way are directly his fault for giving the girls the Wi-Fi password.  Zeke and Glenn seem to catch bad break over bad break now, but they are strong enough to get what they want or need.  Glenn was even ready to have relations with a married woman with her husband watching and filming.  But now, it is going to have to fall on Zeke as he is the one that broke the warlord’s son’s nose and with guns pointed at the pilots, they will have to find away once again to escape.  It seems like everything is falling apart around the world, but there are just a few people trying to hold it together, but those people are on the outs with their superiors, so the rogues might be our only saviors.
