#006- Eureka- Ep. 2- Your Face or Mine

Airdate: July 17th, 2009
Episode Title: "Your Face or Mine
Episode #: 402 (Season 4, Episode 2)
Starring: Colin Ferguson, Joe Morton, Jordan Hinson, Erica Cerra, Salli Richardson-Whitfield

Even after just 2 episodes, Eureka is quickly becoming one of my favorite shows. The characters are just so entertaining, and the creativity of each episode is wildly entertaining. "Your Face or Mine" focuses on Deputy Sheriff Jo Lupo as acting sheriff while Carter undergoes his re-certification exam. She is met with a case where there has been a string of thefts, but the main story is Jo's strange behavior, especially her drunken make out with Fargo. While the story isn't entirely original, it's funny, especially the interactions between Jo and Fargo. The B-plot to the episode, Carter's re-certification exam is also very funny, as he has to do a simple task (push a button) but is met with fierce resistance (the floor to the room disappears). This episode was even better than the premiere, and even once you weed through all the techno babble a lot of the characters are rambling on about, you still find yourself having an adventure in a small town called Eureka.
