At first I was concerned that the show was actually getting better and ruining my fun. After closer examination, I am happily incorrect. The plot holes keep coming. Thankfully we didn't get more than a minute in before they stopped playing the Roderick/Weston "just missed you" game. Which leads to idiot move #1. When Roderick walks away, shoot him in the damn leg. Who would have have had a problem with that? But then we get to our continuing re-ocurring problem with this show. Apparently, if you can get 100 feet from the FBI, they can't catch you. If only they had cars and helicopters. Even Roderick knows how inept the FBI is as he thinks nothing of driving back to the compound. It's not like they would follow him. Heh.

Most of the rest of the episode makes a bit more sense until we get to the latter part of the show. Thank god Ryan Hardy decided to let his FBI friends know what he was doing this time. No one man operation this week. Although it didn't change things any. They were still outmanned at the house. Let me back up a bit. How did Joe know where the kid would be? Those 3 henchman seemed to know exactly which house the kid would be in. Wasn't that supposed to be Roderick's ace in the hole? Not very secretive.

And with all the shooting, the other FBI agents don't come running? Did the FBI run out of wires? So many questions. Gotta love the introduction of two new henchman that die in the same episode. Of course, Jacob gets the kid. They should really sign him up for the FBI. He's smarter than all of them. They can't hold onto one kid?

But the ultimate of all ridiculousness is the fact that if Jacob lets the kid go, he's somehow free. Did anyone see all the FBI agents in the background? None of them go after Jacob? And again, he gets back to the compound unfollowed? This show should be called the Unfollowing. Tee Hee

Let's back up a bit. How many times is Joe going to tell his followers to turn off the TV. They keep turning it back on. And when Claire stabs him, why did she stop? Kill the guy!!! But the best part had to be the three followers dragging her away from the stabbing. How did they know? "Hey guys. If I ever get stabbed, run in here and take Claire upstairs. Don't worry about me. I'll just put a bandage on the scar. It will heal".

Once again, the Following did not disappoint.

One other thing, when Emma said "What's wrong with you", why didn't Joe tell her that he's a serial killer. Slapping a woman is not a big deal.
