For a circus-themed episode, there isn't much circus until the last act. But in the meantime, the episode moves pretty quickly.
I have some small problems with the episode. It seems a little dumb for a microchip to be hidden inside a religious artifact. It seems even more puzzling for the villains to be aware of this, and not care about the chip until after it was stolen.
The rescue of the prisoner played out very well, with a nice mistaken identity closure to give the villain more evil.
And seeing Phelps in a circus context is very pleasing.
The big finish - sneaking the team, the prisoner, and the artifact out of the country at the command performance - is fun. But it also made me wonder why they were doing it this way. I think there could have been a more direct route through the process instead of dressing everyone as clowns and having them tumble around.
Still, it's got some charm. They really started to play up Shannon in these episodes, showing more skin than in the past. It's a fun episode, still worth a watch. Phelps in a top hat is worth the stretch of plotting.
