I'll give this one an excellent. This episode was a blast. So much better than last week. Having to deal with a fictional royal family was a lot of fun. Good stuff too on the Guerrero and Winston front. Enjoyed the whole shootout at the parking garage. Can't believe this show is over next week. Hopefully not permanently.
Up...
Christina Cole was fine as Babe of the Week.
^ Agreed.
Good episode. I was surprised that they went with a fictional British royal family. It was also amusing that the show was so cavalier about a member of the royal family being involved in a murder conspiracy and a wedding to a commoner.

Its not our royal family, so we really don't care. I don't think this episode would have been made on a british or Aussie T.V. show though.
Yeah, I thought it was funny how they made the bodyguards murderous traitors. They were pretty cavalier about the whole thing, that's probably why they went with a fictional royal family.
Minor nitpick... unless I am mistaken, the biological daughter of the sitting monarch would not be the "Princess of Wales". Unless I am mistaken, which I may very well be, only the wife of the Prince of Wales can be the Princess of Wales.
Okay, I'm going to do something dumb... can someone explain the action climax of this episode? I was working out while watching it, and maybe I blinked. Chance & the princess get into the museum through the ceiling of a back room, the bad guys enter the room (led by a guy who looked like actor Alec Newman who was Paul Maud'Dib in SciFi's Dune), they start shooting, and Chance hides behind an ancient shield he finds on the floor. I ask what happened because all of the bad guys must have completely emptied all of their guns into the shield, because next thing I know they're all having sword battles and fist fights. Did I miss something?
Oh, and if that's just too easy, you can explain something from that episode a few weeks ago... Chance was in an indoor pool with a weight tied around his leg, in the deep end, and the bad guys would pull a rope to lift the weight to allow him to breathe and talk to them. Chance winds up pulling down on the rope to pull one of the baddies into the water with him, gets the guy's gun, shoots some of the bad guys from under the water (correctly compensating for refraction of light in the water, he's just that good). The focus of the scene then moves above the surface of the water, where the main bad guy hides from Chance's gun shots, then peeks into the water to see that Chance isn't there anymore. He looks up to discover that Chance had climbed out of the water, subdued one of the bad guy's minions and is holding the minion hostage. He did this all in about 10 seconds. Without making a sound. Oh, and he also had enough time to untie the weight from his leg and tie it around the leg of the minion.
Anyway, if anyone has any ideas about this, fire away.
I'll say that it's become something of a guilty pleasure for me. I've been surprised that there are on-going story lines from week to week. But honestly, I watch this show for Bear McCreary's music.... I wish that they had a "music only" track, since the dialogue sometimes gets in the way of enjoying the music.
I've come to enjoy the regulars, even hearing a nearly 50 year old guy like Guerrero say "dude" literally every other word... although I'm still shocked that he murdered a guy in cold blood by shooting him in the back in an earlier episode. True, the guy was apparently a baddie, but that was really, really cold.

^ Guerrero shooting the guy was also an example of the episodes being shown out of sequence. That episode should've come after the "rescue Alias guy from building" episode where the running of the facial recognition program on Chase's face was red-flagged by someone mysterious (his ex-boss) who had been looking for him.
