It was deceptively quiet, like the proverbial calm before the storm IMO. AJ nearly got fired...but that seemed to wrap up in a pat manner. But of course, we have't seen the end of the nefarious Teddy. And who knew he could have such a nice cute wife who is loves and cares about him?

What's with the wife? She must figure into this somehow. Maybe he is recently married and he won't want her to find out about an affair with Singer...if he's the father.

And Sergei is turning out to be not so admirable. He was so dismissive of his "one night stand" and didn't give a rat's patootie that Singer was pregnant. So she got him off the hook for being the father, but he might have been if we are to believe him. He was way too casual. Not an ounce of caring. His character rating went down to zero for me tonight, and if that sounds sanctimonious, so be it.

And what's happened to him anyway? Is he dead? My prediction is that if he is not a good character, he won't be Harm's brother and he'll probably die. And where did he suddenly get the money to travel so freely with his "fiance"?

And the fiance was lying about going back to Russia, so Sergei must have also lied to Harm. So why? Is he working for organized crime? Are they going to take Singer's baby for sale on the baby markets? Is that his girlfriend or a rent a babe? Ooooo....so much to consider..

And how about Manneti? Wow, she really came through for her JAG friends, so I'm thinking that she really is ok. But what a wimpy Secnav. Gosh I miss the old Secnav. This one is just not convincing. That wrap up was the only real weakness in the show IMO.

Even the A story had a tie in, (and I'm stealing this from judi). It was very important for the woman to know the truth about her husband's death, and without this knowledge she was unable to get on with her life. Of course the parallel to Harm was made clear as he even mentioned his father and made the truth part of the case.

Harm has accepted Sergei fully as his brother, the connection to his father. Sergei represents a missing link to the truth of Harm's father's life and death, and that knowledge helped Harm to get rid of the phantoms that haunted him while the truth eluded him. Now if he finds out that Sergei is not his brother after all, the ghosts will be resurrected.

Holly brought up the cell phone call that Harm had Singer make...something we didn't know had happened. How interesting as cell calls can be traced (as Holly pointed out.) I wonder if Singer made that call, or if she did, could it be used to implicate Harm in a possible murder as Holly suggests?

Anyway, I love it when there are a bunch of loose ends (though not loose paper clips..LOL.). No neat and tidy endings. And as others have pointed out, so much to speculate on.

But I am NEVER right in my JAG predictions...LOL.
