Houses of the Holy? Sounds terribly trite (not to mention heavily pretentious) to name the episodes after Led Zeppelin songs even if there isn't anything in the episode referencing the title.
A whole lot less action in here, compared to the other episodes so far. The drone aircraft thingie, that happens on a screen. Annie does get into a fight though, and this time, she does actually win AND without getting injured, for a change...
Lauren Holly and Anna Camp are the notable guest stars. Lauren plays the difficult part of the betrayed wife getting her own back, all weepy and teary-eyed, look at that ravaged nose... Anna Camp has the part of the sexy secretary, all svelte in sports gear. I've only seen her once before, in an episode of CASHMERE MAFIA, and, well, she was great in here, but not as marvelous as in that one.
The guy who drops the ball is predictably Mr. Sandhil Ramamurthy. I came in with the hindsight of having seen him on BEAUTY & THE BEAST, had my instant misgivings... no, sure knowledge... that it was highly unlikely that Mr. Tall, Dark and Handsome (NOT!!) could be an asset to the otherwise well-cast show. (I had doubts regarding Christopher Gorham as well after what I had seen of POPULAR, but, by some quirk of chance, Mr. Gorham matured into a highly likable performer)
If you've read my other reviews for the previous episodes, you will however know that I kinda worship the ground Piper Perabo walks on. So (sigh) don't step on it, please... Anyway, I might become aware of, uhm, little things, minor little grievances like utterly unlikely set-ups, take this one's story-line with the flimsy motivations... a jilted woman would ruin her husband's career by supplying information to another country??? There would be easier, much more satisfying, more direct and considerably less un- patriotic ways to get revenge on a wayward husband, SURELY.
As long as the whole thing is a glorious showcase for Piper Perabo's finely-chiseled face, wow, I'm not gonna complain...
