Tonight's episode gave Keira a taste of politicking 2013 style. I think I've watched too much House of Cards cause everything else pales in comparison. This was a very straightforward episode until that twist at the end. Carlos spends the night with a journalist lady friend who ends up dead the next day. Did Carlos do it? Did his friend Jim the union guy do it? Did Jim's wife do it? Did a ninja do it? Do we care?
That's about it for what happened. The shower scene was a nice addition though. Ya don't see many men attacked in the shower. It's usually women. This is why you should remain fully clothed at all times. You never know when a crazy woman with a taser will attack you in the shower.

Episode 7 "The Politics Of Time"
A high-stakes Port of Vancouver Union Election gives Kiera her first taste of contemporary political intrigue. First, the issue of Kiera's trust and loyalty of her partner come into question as evidence points Carlos in the death of an investigative reporter: Carlos finds himself investigating the murder of journalist Alicia Fuentes, who he slept with the night before her death. He had received a call from Carlos's lifelong old friend, Jim Martin, who is running as the leading candidate in the polls for election as the head of the local dock workers union, on a platform of cleaning up the union's corrupt practices. Martin was having an argument with Alicia, who was about to blow the lid off a dirty secret Martin may have been hiding. Carlos knew Alicia, picked her up and after dinner spent most of the night at her apartment. When they find her dead the next morning, he tells no one, not even Kiera, that he was there until about 1:30. Meanwhile, Alec is trying to fix Kiera's suit, and with some of its capability restored, she gets a lead on the killer, and also finds that the piece of the time travel device is missing, and knows Kellog has to be the one who took it. While covertly and desperately trying to clear both men and find out who killed Alicia, Kiera will learn first-hand the lengths one will go to get elected - and the allies they associate with once victory is achieved.
Grade: 3 Monsters (out of 5). Extra points for the shower taser attack.
