Interesting but not a great episode.

Series have formulas. Quick answers, condense stories, and a hook for next week's show. Jericho does not follow all the plot devices of television. The character of April dies giving birth ending the affair soap opera show subplot. (A quick answer and even quicker story) I find April's death is a device which ends a subplot that slowed down Jericho's fast story line. When one character dies (April) then another rises (Hawken's). The death of Hawken's co-worker is a question. Is Hawken's a terrorist or savior? The hook for next week's show. Jericho and the other town demands more? No quick answers. A slower episode which asks question, but a important episode which is a turning point for future events. 6 out of 10. Jericos story climax will be good.
