Summer Season Finales: Covert Affairs

USA’s newest summer series, Covert Affairs,  took the season by storm. Annie Walker (Piper Perabo) was taken fresh from CIA bootcamp and dropped right into a case where she was shot at and her cover almost blown on her first outing. From there, it’s been a wild ride, with former special operative Auggie Anderson (Christopher Gorham) watching out for her, and the handsome Jai Wilcox (Sendhil Ramamurthy) looking for some one-on-one time. Outside of all this is the lover that left her in Sri Lanka, Ben. He used to work for the agency, but has he gone rogue? Should Annie trust him or not?

The two-part season finale answers several questions, including shedding light on Ben’s motives and revealing who Liza’s source is for her article on the CIA’s Director of Clandestine Services. Kari Matchett’s Joan Campbell is a standout once again, deftly playing a woman with a high-octane job and a high-octane marriage.

Watch the two-hour season finale Tuesday, September 14, at 9/8c, on USA.
