RATINGS AND STATISTICS

Rating : 4 out of 5 Stars. While seemingly a set up episode, it successfully set up and established all major plots. Renee's undercover mission. Farhad's quest to buy the Uranium. The brother's attempt to save his radioactive brother. Pres Taylor and Hassan's dispute over peace treaty talks. And thats just to name a few. So overall, one of the better "set-up episodes"

Stats: No Kills of Jack in this one as with most set ups.

Kills in Episode 5: 0 Kills

Kills in Season 8: 3 Kills
