For those of us who saw “K&R Part 1″ six months ago, it was the beginning of three “K&R” episodes — “K&R” meaning “kidnap and rescue,” and referring to the abduction of Tom’s brother by terrorists in Afghanistan and the possibility of NBS paying ransom to get him back, abetted by the blonde lawyer who’s been hanging around flirting with Matt. But despite being the 1 of K&Rs 1 through 3, this was actually the second in a five-episode arc that started with last week’s “Breaking News” and ended with the series finale, “What Kind of Day Has It Been.”
Among the other plots in this and the coming episodes was the approximately 3,685th take of Matt and Harriet’s conflict about religion; flashbacks to the days after 9/11 and the disagreements between Jack, Matt and Danny over the way the show should respond; and Jordan’s pregnancy complications, leading to an emergency C-section.
But if you’re a romantic like me, the thing you’ll remember most from this episode is the marriage proposal in the YouTube clip below — a perfect blend of sweetness and snappiness that perfectly captures the Jordan-Danny dynamic. Seeing it again makes me wish all the more that we could have seen their relationship grow over another season or two or four.
