The third episode finally sees our team together on the streets of Washington, D.C., as the search begins discover the truth behind why no one in the world can die. Although I thought the second episode was a bit of a step up from this season’s opener this one’s a bit of a mess, even though this episode finally gets things rolling.

Covert Affairs - Half a World AwayFor 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.

A simple deployment of new survelliance techonlogy on the Polish/Belarus border turns into anything but when Annie (Piper Perabo) and Reva (Jaimie Alexander) are picked up by the secret police after discovering a fake village used as a holding station for weapons and vehicles destined for hostile nations. And, sadly, these aren’t the types of guys to believe their cover story of being innocent Canadian hikers.
