I realize you have now been furiously refreshing the site and crying for several weeks as you await my next recaps, and I have only my deepest apologies for you. I was in Washington DC last weekend for a whirlwind trip of sightseeing, souvenir-purchasing, and kicking it with Barrack and Michelle. But never fear, I was not assaulted by an Asian gang with rocket launchers and so the recaps are officially back! Let's take a quick look at what I missed-

So Halloween's was a good episode, BUT THEN. It got even better this week.

The next episode begins with a woman taking her kids to play with sailboats in the BIGGEST GODDAMN FOUNTAIN I have ever seen, while someone composes a letter to her. Apparently this is Celia, and she has two boys and no flashforward. When she arrives back to her car, she finds a flier with that mysterious blue hand, the web address www.alreadyghosts.com, and the note "we know you are one of us."

So I feel like some big questions have been answered in the first minute-thirty of this episode. Blue Hand would appear to be an organization for people who had no flashforward. But then why attack the FBI agents? I guess I should just dig into my Lost-watching skills and be patient. Also, ABC is missing out on some excellent marketing by having www.alreadyshosts.com simply redirect to abc.com.

There's some general couple adorableness between Demetri and Zoe. She's excited to pick up the wedding invites, and he's online investigating the Blue Hand website that means there may not BE a wedding. It's your typical sci-fi nerd love story.

The Drunk and the Slut (Mark&Olivia) are awkwardly preparing for their day. Mark reminds her that he trusts her, and she does the same. Both have obvious inner turmoil and rage. It's your typical recapper love story.

Mark and Demetri talk in the elevator with Al, the random minor character who now seems to be important and whom a certain recapper (I'm not going to point fingers) may have been calling 'Hal' up until this point. They decide now would be a good time to establish the analogy that will serve as the theme for this week's episode and talk about playing Madden: cheating vs. changing the game. I like this spin, but I'm still thinking "change the game codes" doesn't roll off the tongue as well.

The coroner tells us that the dead Blue Handers have what appear to be self-inflicted gunshot wounds. All had alcohol and one had hard drugs in their systems. I'm not sure, TVgasm readers, but I may have been at this very party on Halloween. One of them is Ian Rutherford, of Al's Mysterious Rutherford Case (AMRC). Hear that? It's the sound of the plot thickening.

Aaron meets with Corporal Mike, some guy who served with Tracy. Mike gives Aaron a pocket knife that Tracy wanted him to have, and it's the same knife that Aaron remembers seeing in the flashforward where he finally finds Tracy. Aaron gets teary and embraces the corporal. Why do I only catch the names of people who are in like one scene, ever?

FBI Director wants to know what the connection is between a copy machine salesman, a librarian, and a Scottish nationalist. Besides that one time when they all went into a bar with hilarious results, it appears that there is none. Joining this week's "which random-ass clue should we follow" meeting is Fiona Banks, she of Al's Mysterious Rutherford Case fame. Demetri went ahead and Mosaic-d the dead three, and learned that they had no flashforwards. He then confirms someone's brilliant suspicion (again, I won't point any fingers) that the Blue Handers are, as FBI Director puts it, "a death club" for the flashforward-less. Mark practices his movie trailer announcer skills by remarking that it's like a book club...WITH BULLETS.
