Bill And Gary's Excellent Adventure

No Alpha case here, but a straight up Kidnapping and Ransom
situation, involving a dirty cop. This is a standard,
by-the-book episode that we have all seen time and again. But
this has the one thing that others don't: Gary. The more I see
Gary Bell (Ryan Cartwright) the more I like his character. He is
by far the most interesting and get's all the funny one liner's.
Definitely the breakout star of the series.

Pretty cool to see Summer Glau pop up on this show. Always cool
to see her pop anywhere for that matter. As for Catch And
Release, her character of Skylar was interesting. But I felt
that she wasn't utilized a bit more. The bright spot is that
they definitely left it open for her character to return by
giving Gary a Cell phone with direct access to her should the
Alpha team need to reach her.
As before, Gary steals every scene he is in.

I should have seen the ending coming right after hearing that
Dr. Rosen had never fired, let alone held a gun in his hand.
Sure enough, at the end he is force to shoot and kill by
unloading into the guys face. I'm a little confused about this
particular episode. How is it that Bill and Cameron's Alpha
abilities are neutralized by what Jonas can do, yet Nina is
still able to "push" people at will?

Fantastic episode where we get not one, but two Alphas that are
compliments of each other. On one hand we have a blind Alpha,
Kern (Brent Spiner) that uses Sonar to "see" and on the other
hand we have an Alpha that uses human blind spots as her source
of invisibility, Griffin (Rebecca Mader) who is an Alpha Bounty
Hunter. Kern's , who is working for Red Flag, has created a
drug supplement for Pregnant women. But they don't know that he
has spiked the drug with Alpha DNA in the hopes of spawning a
new generation of Alphas. Griffin is sent out to capture both
him and the drug for an unnamed benefactor. It was cool to see
Rebecca Mader again. Since LOST ended, she has gotten to play
some pretty cool baddies on No Ordinary Family and now Alphas.

Supposedly there is a mole within the Alpha group, one that is
killing off those close to the project. The team itself is
detained by Government Agents. So who is the mole? The finger
lands on Dr. Rosen, who turns out to be an Alpha shape-shifter
take tne form of the real Rosen who had been kidnapped and held
prisoner. Looks like the team at the end is getting a new
member, Eric who can detect who is lying. Is that really a
"super power?" Anyway, at the end, Bill collapsed from an
apparent heart attack, due to being amped up all the time, which
gives him his power of super strength.
