‘Covert Affairs’ 2.05 Recap: “You Had Me at Alpha Barbie”

The producers of ‘Covert Affairs’ have apparently stumbled onto an important formula to guarantee viewer satisfaction: When lacking the budget for proper action scenes or even vaguely exotic locations, start the episode with a gratuitous sexy dress-up montage that has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the plot. It’s cheap, easy, and star...
