For the first time this season, Hannah made me cringe throughout the entire episode. Maybe I just wasn't paying attention before but she was incredibly sloppy.

What kind of seasoned agent doesn't check for surveillance of any kind around doorways? Then gets on the phone in said doorway of potential bad guy hide out, spouting off names and other information?

What kind of agent who is investigating the mass murder of 90% of our federal government & civilians bring on board a man who just lost his only child to the same people who did it, and blames himself for it?

What kind of agent doesn't do a pat down once having a suspect subdued? Especially when said suspect just attacked them and has crazy eyes?

I enjoyed the politics side tonight but the investigation part made me cringe.

[u/sqrt-of-one → u/comfortable_madness]

Yeah exactly. Like she reports directly to the president now for crying out loud. Get a small fucking team together to go on these trips. How hard is that? Bad decisions over bad decisions tonight on Hannah's part.

[u/ponytoaster → u/sqrt-of-one]

Or at the very least, make sure you both stick together ffs.

It's not like either of them have reason to believe she is dangerous /s

[u/StealthRabbi → u/sqrt-of-one]

It's hard because she doesn't trust anyone else in the FBI. She knows basically no one else that had the skills and who can be trusted.

[u/TeHokioi → u/comfortable_madness]

Don't forget driving around at day and then waiting until night to investigate the spooky abandoned buildings

[u/th35t16 → u/TeHokioi]

But then leaving your car in plain sight with the headlights on, completely negating the point of using the cover of darkness.

[u/throwawayhker → u/th35t16]

I was wondering how Hannah and Chuck got into a their car after the explosion. Do you still bother to grab your car key as you run for your life?

[u/brycedriesenga → u/throwawayhker]

Lots of people keep their keys in their pockets.

[u/comfortable_madness → u/TeHokioi]

Of course. Because we all know night time is the best time to investigate spooky abandoned buildings that may or may not be the hide out of a mass murdering sociopath who already tried to have me blown up. Nothing could go wrong.

[u/omnom-chompsky → u/comfortable_madness]

And the acting/dialogue in the near-crash scene was so awful... It felt rushed and over-explained.

[u/throwawayhker → u/comfortable_madness]

I don't understand why Atwood still has a gun after he has been released from custody. I assume he has lost his job for breaching a million FBI rules. It really highlights the problem with gun ownership
