"I'm not gonna fight Logan, I'm gonna fight Noel"

Another very focused episode and surprisingly it isn't until you sit down and think about it that you realise it.Finally Ric gets both some brains and some backbone and decides to make a stand and put an end to Noel's blackmail.First step in this is involving Alf, Martha and Miles, who have been doing a pretty good impersonation of the three wise monkeys recently with regards to his odd behaviour.It's a pity they went down the route of having Alf get all uptight about it, particularly considering his recent support of Martha, but at least he's more or less on Ric's side by the end.

Despite being a solution that every viewer has probably thought of, Ric and Jack's plan to stop Noel is quite well thought through and it's always nice to see Lara out of uniform and part of the action.But like Matilda, my main worry is that this storyline might see the break-up of one of the Bay's best couples.Here's hoping otherwise.
