I like this series: great writing, good acting, excellent production. But this particular episode... eh. Good up until the end. Two major flaws spoiled it. First, "It was never about the money." Well, it should have been. The family took the long way around getting their father's music back. They possess a magic record that taps into each person's soul of happiness, leaving them blissfully ignorant of goings-on all around them, hence they're able to liberate cash from banks. But, couldn't they just do the same thing, THEFT that is, by playing the record to the guy holding the father's music in hock? Seriously, why go through the hassle and danger of robbing banks just to get to the cash to buy it all back instead of just taking the easy (and much, much safer) road from the beginning?
Second, our lovable agents aren't that concerned with this flagrant breaking of the law. And they're Secret Service agents no less, a division of the Treasury Department. The last 5 minutes just left me with a profound sense of, "No Freakin' Way. Totally Unbelievable." It would have been better if it HAD been all about the money and the writers had either dropped the family tie-in or gone for a different angle.
