V - Hearts and Minds, S01E10

The Vs always seem a step ahead of the 5th Column. That may be because the 5th Column is human, is feeling emotions, and is driven in a non-mindless way to achieve its goals. Anna (Morena Baccarin) has no such scruples and even has some humans on her side, as well as many agents who appear human.

Father Jack (Joel Gretsch) has some issues about death. He put the entire 5th Column in danger when he warned Chad (Scott Wolf) about the danger to the V only shuttles. Not only was it foolish as how can he be sure that Chad, who spends so much time with the V, isn't seduced by Anna's power and personality, but also because there is no way that Anna would have put any human on a ship with V planning to come down to Earth to annihilate some humans.

The question of whose side Chad is really on gets tricky when this betrayal is considered. Even if feeding Anna information to make him seem like a compliant source is necessary, this particular move just put the 5th Column at the top of the FBI's most wanted list. And, along with Erica (Elizabeth Mitchell), Malik (Rekha Sharma) is now leading a government agency in the work of her queen - BTW, I hope you all saw it coming that she was the other V in the agency.

We are promised an interesting competition as the two leaders of that team have opposing intentions - Erica wants to save the world and the 5th Column, Malik wants whatever Anna wants.

Finally, although Lisa (Laura Vandervoort) supposedly passed the emotions test, her mother is becoming suspicious, and, when Lisa failed to achieve her target (well, actually, when Lisa let her target go), Anna had no qualms about beating her own daughter to a pulp to achieve a desired affect. Too bad Anna doesn't understand emotions well enough to realize that she may have lost her daughter's loyalty by that move.

I guess we will have to wait to see how everything develops!
