Well, here we are!

And boy, is it a doozy.

With the queen injured, Red is left dazed and constantly on the verge of tears.
As for Laurel, shes starting to wonder whether theres anything she can do.
Rochelle and Gustav are ready to continue the crusade, even after Rochelle turns Gustav down for a date.
(Aww, Gustav!
Still, Laurel tells them shes out.
Shes taking the money and finishing her documentary.
The world needs to know about Melanesian choirs.
Concerned, Laurel tells Luke.
So, the CIA is definitely lying and in cahoots with the bug people.
Things arent looking too good for Team Laurel.
Meanwhile, Red is still fading and Luke has staged a major sit-in protesting his budget bill.
(Somehow I think snorting it would make it worse, but what do I know.)
She pulls a gun out her purse and even moves to shoot him, but she fails.
You know the problem with liberals?
They dont know where the safety is, he says.
And then HE shoots HER!
Meanwhile, the queen crawls out of his head and dismembers the bug living in hers.
By the time we start hour two, the fate of the world isnt looking too promising.
Still, the hothouse plot and the CIA being compromised is enough to convince Laurel to stay.
The bug-busting team is back together!
Thats when she notices the bugs starting to leave his ears.
Especially not once Anthony shows up.
But Gustav has a trump card!
Or an ID card, to be more specific.
It turns out Gustav is a high-level NSA official and has been this whole time.
Which actually makes a lot of sense.
Gareth rushes to her defense, theres a struggle, and they accidentally shoot Red in the butt.
Maybe youre not so useless after all, Gary the Intern.
All is normal in Washington…or at least as normal as it usually is.
Odds and ends
Number of times we hear You Might Think:Just once!
Still, Im officially never going to be able to hear The Cars without thinking of brain-eating bugs.
Grossest moment:Probably the swarms of bugs converging on Reds office at the end?
This show has made me more afraid of bugs, not less.
