It may have taken a roof falling on his head, but at least Jack (Reed Diamond) is finally starting to believe Dan (Kevin McKidd) is on a serious mission to save the world one person at a time, as opposed to being a gambling junkie who’s about to cause his family ruin. Honestly, is it easier to believe your baby brother is a loser than to believe some unseen force is sending him back in time to make right what went wrong? Ok, maybe it is, especially considering Dan has had the gambling monkey on his back before. However, I still believe part of Jack wanted his brother to be throwing his marriage away; that way he might have a chance at getting his ex, Dan’s wife Katie (Gretchen Egolf), back. But, with Dan on the trail of an early 90s serial kidnapper, his brother and his suspicions’ are pretty low on his list of priorities.

Meanwhile, Katie is left to take care of things at home by herself once again, when her son starts to have some problems at school. Dan’s pretty lucky to have such an understanding wife. I mean she believes he really is being forced back in time, she’s put up with the fact that he keeps running into his ex while he’s away, and she’s running the household as if she were a single mother; what more could a guy ask for. But, if Dan’s not careful, he will end up losing his wife; if not to his brother than to her career. So, how do you balance saving stranger’s lives with saving your own family? That’s a tough one to answer, but something tells me it will come to a head eventually.


The problem is if Dan continues on the path he’s going down, he may end up in prison; honestly, that could be prison in the past or present, considering the way he’s going. For example, in tonight’s episode of JOURNEYMAN, Dan gets swept back to the early 90s and lands smack in the middle of a kidnapper’s twisted desires. One might think it a good thing to get to the kidnapping location just in time to save a missing girl, but when the police show up immediately after the kidnapper takes off, Dan is left holding the bag. Good thing he gets sent back to the present before the coppers could cart him off to jail. Unfortunately, that means he is now on their radar, so the next time a kidnapping takes place who do you think their first suspect will be?
