Army Wives
Non-Combatants

Original Air Date: Apr 22, 2012

Well, this week was a sad episode of Army Wives. If you watched last week, we saw that Roxy found Minji locked in her garage with the car running and the episode picks up where it left off. Sadly, Roxy could not get the garage open and by the time help arrived, they were too late. Even though none of the army wives knew Minji very well or us, the viewers didn’t know her very well, we feel bad that we wont get to know more about her.

We also get to see more of the mission happening in Aruba to evacuate American citizens. Along with the sadness, we also get to see some more relationships develop the episode has a good ending for one couple.
