• Title: Covert Affairs – Half a World Away
• tv.com: link

For the first time in its two seasons on the air Covert Affairs gives us an episode where the main story revolves not around young CIA agent Annie Walker (Piper Perabo), but her partner in crime back at Langley – Auggie (Christopher Gorham).

While on vacation Auggie hears a voice of a man he believed to be long dead, the terrorist (Patrick Sabongui) who killed several members of his unit with an explosion that also cost Auggie his sight. The news puts the agent in a tailspin and he becomes obsessed with tracking down the terrorist. He’s even willing to put a civilian in danger and lie to Annie about a favor back home which lands her in the back of an FBI SUV.

Although we get Annie operating in the B-story fitting the pieces of Auggie’s story together for herself, the real story here is Auggie’s including flashbacks to his final mission in the field. Spicing things up is Auggie’s latest conquest, a beautiful stewardess (Rebecca Mader) who agrees to help Auggie on his quest for justice.
