The season finale of Revolution included two great quotes. Both of them were said by arguably pretty evil men. The first was “From an acorn grows a mighty oak.” The second was “When you burn down the old, new things grow.” Did Monroe say one of these?
We start off with the standoff between Miles and Monroe. They almost get into a shootout but must first deal with a Tower assault team. Miles, Monroe, and Nora flee into a storm sewer and are washed away in the rushing water.

In Michael’s second Arrested Development, we learn what he’s been up to post in-flight magazine article being published. This was a nice fast-paced episode with lots of call backs to previous episodes.
With the article being a bust, Michael tries changing careers, but ends up working for a certain high-tech company driving around their mapping car. If you want to know what the company is all you have to do it “something” it.
