We get to know Samar much better and surprise!

And I guess that would make the Cabal the envious moon?

(Aram is for sure Mercutio, re: stealing the show.)

And tonight tonight we finally and truly make our introduction to Samar Navabi.

Its just in time, too.

People have been talking, you see.

And by people, I mean you.

Everyone has been wondering what the deal is with Samar.

Plus, shes always calling Lizzie out, which is something pretty much else no one does.

That might be true, but she straight up murdad the Attorney General of the United States.

Samar isnt defined by whom her allegiances are with; shes defined by the things that she believes in.

Oh, and in between all of this intense character development, something completely crazy happened.

Actually, like 16 things, though only one involved the unbuttoning of pants.

But well get to that…

ZAL BIN HASAAN, NO.

In the present, theres another terrorist situation to deal with.

Needless to say, Samar is absolutely down to nail this guys ass to the wall.

For you for your brother because Aram would do anything for the people he loves.

NEXT: Its all in the eye of the hostage… Oh thats right… Samars brother, Shahin, is alive.

But there were a few more hostages than they thought.

Cue her world shattering.

Six weeks ago, Hasaans men tracked him down after he fled to America for safety.

The man leading that charge: Shahin Navabi who is, in fact, Hasaan.

Oh, what a glorious moment this was!

NEXT: Fighting in yards with boys…

So that just leaves…

A bunch of feuding boys.

And then theres Tom and Ressler… Ohhhh, Tom and Ressler, cant you boys just get along?

And as he storms out I kid you not, you guys Ressler furiously kicks over a garden gnome.

It is so ridiculous and hilarious it might be my favorite moment of the season.

Nothing else is guaranteed.

You know what is guaranteed?

In a twist that took me totally by surprise, Ressler and Samar Get.

My feelings on this below…
