, episode 6 "Embassy Row" of Covert Affairs, Annie is invited by Kravec to a party at the Russian Embassy in Paris and accepts. While at the party, she bumps into Ryan McQuaid who explains that he is there to buy Russian helicopters for the DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency). How ironic is it that McQuaid happens to show up at the same places as Annie while she is on a mission?
Later, Kravec takes Annie into a quiet area in the Embassy. They both have a drink and then Kravec subdues Annie by choking her and trying to make her drink poison. Annie is able to counterattack and get away. As she makes her way through the hallway, she sees McQuaid and faints before him. This is where I start to wonder whether McQuaid is really good or bad for the millionth time.
After the commercial break, we see Kravec pulling Annie out of the trunk of his car at night. McQuaid drives down the street, gets out of his van, and shoots at Kravec. Hmm...what happened after Annie fainted? Why didn't McQuaid just carry her off somewhere safe instead of letting Kravec abduct her?
A chase scene starts once Annie pries herself away from Kravec. McQuaid runs after them. At the end of the chase, Kravec puts Annie's head in water and tries to drown her, but McQuaid shoots him (without killing him). Annie questions McQuaid about why he didn't save her sooner since she remembered seeing him at the Embassy before passing out. He stated that his reason for that is because Kravec was getting back up and he couldn't just carry Annie away in time without arousing suspicion from the partygoers. Seriously?
If I were McQuaid I would have knocked out Kravec and tied him up in that room. I would then take Annie in there and close the doors and wait until she wakes up so she can interrogate Kravec. Then again, I guess one of Kravec's goons would probably come looking for him, so being in that room wouldn't be good. Due to this possibility, I can see why McQuaid would let Kravec take Annie and then follow them so that he can take care of the situation outside. Still, he should have arrived much sooner when Kravec was taking Annie out of the car trunk so that they wouldn't need to deal with a chase scene and Annie almost drowning.
