In episode 9, Grif arrived back at Red Base to report that the Blues have no evil plans, and that Simmons decided to stay with the opposition. Sarge misinterpreted this news, instead believing that his Number Two was captured, despite Grif’s repeated attempts to convince Sarge otherwise.

Back at the Blue Base, Washington returned to find Simmons hanging around, calling him “sir,” and sleeping in the bunk next to him. Just as the team began to bicker, Sarge and Grif launched a surprise attack in the warthog, which immediately grabbed the attention of Freckles.

Overall this was a great episode. Almost every character got in at least one funny line (Caboose’s “Ooooh girlllll” was probably the best) and the Blues and Reds interacted with each other; both prime ingredients for a good episode. And hey, there was even a bit of conflict and a cliffhanger. Of course it’s nothing like the previous few seasons, but that’s just fine with this writer/viewer. The back to basics approach is working, so keep ‘em coming.

Though, is anyone starting to worry that Church will never come back?
