His pursuit of Ben and the flash drive is a big improvement in that department.
Plus, weve got our first mole twist!
Can I get some water?

Its so hot in here.
Are you not hot?
As suspicious and sweaty as he might appear, the machines say hes telling the truth.
The standoff is short lived, though, as Rebecca makes a perfectly timed call to straighten things out.
Before they can get down to business at CTU, the personnel have to sort out some personal issues.
Namely, shed like to be the one to bring in Nilaa.
Forget about high-level terrorism its time to focus on street-level drug dealers and a possible love quadrant.
Isaac has left Nicole in the jealous and vengeful hands of Aisha.
I promise you, he tells Nicole, things are going to be different.
Carter meets up with Mullins and Locke, who will head up the field team.
Despite Ben having gone rogue, Carter wants to ensure that his friend makes it out of this alive.
Thats up to him, says Locke.
Harris gets rid of the girl, but in the meantime, Drew has apparently risen from the dead.
They discover that he has escaped, making a run for the woods.
Amira and Harris play dumb as an ambulance is called.
Despite having his head smashed in, Drew is in stable condition.
While Harris insists they disappear, Amira decides that shell go to the hospital and finish Drew off.
The story is spaced throughout the episode, but I thought it best to get through it swiftly.
Rebecca has finally made it to Johns campaign event, even if its not under ideal circumstances.
She lets him know about the situation with Nilaa.
Ive seen a lot of convincing moles in my day, but Nilaa does seem truly shocked.
Having started as enemies only two episodes ago, new Stiles and Andy are becoming fast friends.
They bond over relationship talk and intercepting the call made by Aisha to the Dominicans.
Once the info is retrieved, its sent over to Nicole, who steps away to listen.
Aisha and the random dude she seduced are becoming suspicious.
Aisha walks in on Nicole, demanding to see her phone.
Im sensing a little Teri-and-Nina vibe here (on a much lower interest scale).
Carter and company have arrived at the station.
Mullins hangs back to follow them wherever they might go next, while Locke stays close behind Carter.
Over the phone, Ben guides his friend through the station and onto a train.
Ben, rightfully suspicious, is positioned in the next car.
He divulges that theyre headed to the drive.
Back at the Donovan estate, Papa Donovan is summoned by Uncle Luis.
And we officially have our first didnt seethatcoming moment.
The photo of Nilaa that Rebecca found is a fake, manufactured by Luis.
Why would he do that?
Because Papa Donovan was the leak.
(Why, Dr.
He at least seems to feel a little bad about it, which Luis doesnt want to hear.
Its our only play, he says.
Unless youre ready to burn down Johns campaign and everything you spent your life trying to build.
Dang, cold-blooded move.
Meanwhile, on the train, Ben makes his approach, sitting down next to his friend.
I didnt want it to go like this, he says.
I didnt have a choice.
He may have threatened to sell the info to the terrorists, but Ben has a plan!
Carter doesnt care, throwing plenty of Ranger shame at his troubled comrade.
Theyve finally reached their destination.
Hes not the only one after his friend.
The terrorists have caught up to Ben, and Khalid himself is handling this mission.
What ensues is by far the best action sequence yet onLegacy.
Carter chases after Khalid, dodging traffic and leaping on cars, looking like a true hero.
Then he gets hit by a car.
Hey, its only day one; the man is still learning the ropes.
This delay allows Khalid and the flash drive to get away.
What did you think?
Was this an improvement on the first two episodes?
Is anyone else confused about why 69-year-old Gerald McRaney is the father of 61-year-old Jimmy Smits?
