Sam went to Yale.
I love that.

Steven toweling himself is distracting.
So are those violins in the back. Easy on the soundtrack guys.

Ummm wait. IS THAT SARK?!?!?
Of course this means that it's pretty damn easy to guess who the major players in this episode are going to be.

How much do I love that Sam was checking out the lady in the surveillance vid? Now I need a regular female spy. Undercovers needs more femmeslash potential.

I'm not really comfortable with Steven nagging Sam about being too emotionally invested. It feels too much like the "women are too emotional" sexist line.

Control, Steven?
Really.

Why do villains always do that?

Seems like they've got their sealegs. The episode had more flow, and tied together. They need to find better use for Leo than the misogynistic flirt bit they've got him doing. Character depth, it is possible. It's nice that we got a bit of background from Sam's past though, and of course Hoyt was always a delight. Unfortunately, Steven was a bit off for me this time. Didn't quite like him tonight. I expect improvement.

Good episode overall, though :)
