Breaking In - The Blind Sided


Due to the number of lawsuits Contra has accumulated recently the new corporate owners insist ever job now include a protocol officer, in this case Molly (Erin Richards), to make sure they don't cross the line. For the team's latest assignment Cam (Bret Harrison) and Melanie (Odette Annable) are charged with tracking down a hacker named Rembrandt who isn't quite what they expected.

When the all-night stakeout ends in unexpected cuddling and uncovers the fact that the mysterious hacker is a 14 year-old (Bobb'e J. Thompson) with an attitude Veronica (Megan Mullally), against the advice of Oz (Christian Slater), decides to save the young man by offering him a job as an intern with Contra. Meanwhile Cam and Melanie admit their physical attraction to each other in the back of his car. Twice.

Of the episodes of Breaking In this one is the best, although it does go a little too far with Veronica's "Blind Side" moment. It also, somewhat naturally, works in the Terminator's death scene from Terminator 2 as Cam gets everything he's ever wanted only to see it disappear overnight.
