@PanAmABC Recap: Unscheduled Departure
Like many TV shows, there’s got to be some fillers. This is what happens tonight on a crash landing in Haiti on the way to Caracas. There’s a hurricane, and an old guy gets a heart-attack and the Pan Am girls are set to make things right. “Here comes Ginny. I wonder which one’s gonna be more destructive.” Funny how the real tornado is with the frequent flyer Miguel (Aaron Diaz) and his sense of entitlement.
As per usual, we’re following some more historical facts, this time following the killings in Haiti. The team takes back a 17-year-old girl in replacement for the dead passenger they were unable to rescue. I’m not sure if this story says a lot — apparently having the idea that the old man wanted to help and his death saved another’s life (not something I’d like written down on my tombstone, but okay). I knew Maggie (Christina Ricci) was going to heat things up tonight, but I definitely didn’t expect her to blow up in Miguel’s face and throw his luggage off the plane. “Thank you for flying Pan Am.”
Collette (Karine Vanasse) and Ted (Michael Molsey) set out to find a doctor and we see how difficult it is to work together at this time. It’s really thrilling to watch all of this happen on a TV series, and so carefully and charmingly. However, no real drama and sexiness happens. The only exciting thing about tonight is the kiss between Dean (Mike Vogels) and Collette at the end of the show. I’m super psyched to find out what happens next week.

@PanAmABC Recap: Romance Languages
With a title like ‘Romance Languages’ you know things are heating up tonight. Hello, hot stuff! Check out Laura (Margot Robbie)’s new boy toy, Joe (Gaius Charles), a navy boy, all dressed in white and everything. But sticking to the ways of the past, Joe gets knocked out in broad day-light for holding Laura’s hand. Is Laura going to defend him or just let him go and accept things for the way they are?
Well, we are dealing with a new breed of women. As Laura says, “It isn’t right that when you tried to kiss me that I cared what other people would think. It isn’t right that when I went to bed last night I locked my door. It isn’t right that when the super told me to kick you out I did.” I mean, who can say no to Joe sitting on your couch with his shirt off? She’s definitely surprising me with her random bursts of courage and determination. Maybe she isn’t such a blond bimbo after all.
Then there’s a rocky path with Kate (Kelli Garner) and her beau Niko (Goran Visnjic)’s love affair. Niko gets ambushed in her apartment and he’s sent to the secret agency to discuss joining the team in Yugoslavia. “I can’t tell, are you just a silly, naive girl, or are you a master liar?” Both. But more importantly, Kate’s in dangerous love with this guy. The show ends with an incredibly uncomfortable, heart-felt good-bye between Kate and Niko at the airport. Kate’s going around-the-world and Niko back to Yugoslavia. Is this the end of their romantic journey?
Oh yeah, and Collette (Karine Varnasse) gets to fly the plane with Dean (Mike Vogel)’s supervision while the rest of the plane is going crazy with a bunch of partying sailors that haven’t been above water in six months. Too bad for Ginny (Erin Cummings), it looks like Dean’s cleaning up that mess. Let’s hope she doesn’t pop up anymore in any upcoming flights.
Taking off, @missamandachen
