ok, we saw the ep alright! And it SUCKED!
For the first time in my history, I did NOT like this episode. I don't even want to do a summary since, sorry, I don't think it is worth it.

I will however put some things inside so as not to spoil but Geez, DPB definitely needs a shake! Sigh. Ok, the acting was great, no discussion there. But the script.... My Fanfic was better. LOL.

If you haven't seen the ep yet, don't see it before the continuing part airs in September. Cause this one won't let you go with a good feeling!

Most important thing to know:
* Harm hears Mac disappeared, wants to find her, isn't allowed and resigns. AJ asks if he wants to give his carreer and life for her, he nodds yes.
* Webb is being tortured, Mac takes care of him
* Gunny is alive and meets up with Harm. ( Harm looked GOOOOOD!!!!! One of the maybe three good things of this ep!)
* Harm rescued Mac who was about to be tortured
* Gunny went to get Webb who was practically more dead than alive
* Webb told Mac that he needs her and that she used HIS toothbrush one time ( ICK! My mom and dad who are married 30 years don't even do THAT and they are VERY close together!) and Mac was kinda laying in to him ( incl kissing him when Harm walked in on them....)
* Gunny and Webb drive off in the Jeep, trying to get Webb to a hospital or whatever
* Harm and Mac go in search of another way out and find a farm where he sees a plane. Harm and Mac pretend for a moment they're a couple and Mac is going into labor. The man of the farm was German and Mac did a good German!!!! THAT was cute! Harm even called her ' sweetheart' ( second good thing) but this was like....2 seconds!
* Harm and Mac fly off in the plane, find the truck with the missiles. Harm throws dynamite to them while they are also being shot in the air ( from the ground). Plane is being hit. Missiles go up in fire. Missile also on Harm and Mac's plane but luckily misses
* Plane is losing fuel and have a hard landing kinda crash in the trees.
The End.

Ok, now my short opinion ( which is also lau's opinion).
Although the story was fairly good, the characters were NOT in character. Webb was way too amical towards Mac, Mac was too ' in love-acting' towards Webb. Harm had barely anything to do in the show other than rescue Mac.
In the shipper POV it was 1 step forward for Harm, 10 miles back for ' Harm and Mac' together. If you ask me, the shippers didn't get a cold shower but a totally frozen one!
Other than the fact they have to survive their crash together and might bring them closer together, I'd say shipperness is totally gone if DB doesn't let us in on that. And here we have Harm giving up his carreer and even life for Mac and she is kissing the CIA agent which he witnesses.
It does not make any sense. This story arc started with Webb saying Mac already had her man, she telling Harm that he loses interest when she is at the position to return it, Harm wanting to get hold of Mac desperately to tell her something 'important' and now here we are left with a possible 'love interest' between Webb and Mac and Harm seeing he gave something up for nothing. It does NOT make any sense.

Let's just hope that the survival in the Paraguay woods brings them back to where they left off before this episode. Cause at the moment, that is ALL the shippers have left.

Kip's comment of "some will scream 'yes' and others will scream 'no' but no one will say it is boring" is not correct in my eyes. I wonder who'll scream yes... webb is still hanging on a silk thread ( which means Webbies might loose Webb), Harm and Mac are crashed with barely any shipperthoughts in mind so the shippers aren;t happy, Harriet is crying, Webb and Mac shippers might but I know many Webbies don't eventually want him with Mac, ok, so the Gunnies might be yes but screaming? I doubt it. He was in no danger really.
So, who are the 'yes-screamers'??? And what is NOT boring in this summer???? Harm and Mac will survive so nothing too much to discuss there, Webb.... nah...too few Webbies to around ( sorry guys, no pun attended). So, what is left. This shipper has a feeling that the ' shift' in the H&M relationship is cleared. There IS no future anymore for H&M if this ep was any indication. Unless DB is nice enough ( haha, who am I fooling?) and make H&M back to where they were and NOT MILES away from ' back at the beginning'.

So, yes, I didn't like the ep cause it was full of uncharacteristics, going to the Webb-Mac scenario is VERY bad, not to mention the Full Engagement deja-vu all over...

Sorry, but this won't go in the book of the best eps!

And honest, I can still smile cause wow, has DB played with us or WHAT? I can see the fun in this but if they want to go this route, I might rethink keeping so updated with everything and I hope the writer's " Are you serious" answer for next season doesn't mean that Mac has two guys now ( Webb and Harm) and that Mac eventually goes to Webb and end the whole Harm and Mac UST and future if there ever was any. Frankly, I am worried. Cause this episode might have been TPTB's reason for ONLY a season 9.

Sigh, how awefull!
