Outsmarted again by VCR...

Was watching the recorded ep of MS and then shortly after the second meeting between Nadine and Mrs Marsh, the xxxx recording ended...aaargh! Would some kind person out there do a good deed and tell me how the episode ended. Did Will go to Venezuela? What happened to the hostages?
Thanks in advance!

Did Will go to Venezuela?

There was a great scene with Will and his daughter Annie, and his goodbye. Several unrelated scenes later, Will's sister returns home to find him gone and gets hubby's 'permission' to pursue Will, with her protective detail in tow. She finds Will has 'missed' his flight, because Annie's 'tude towards his departure, again, moved him to choose to stay.

What happened to the hostages?

Ahem. The bigger bully with the hardware bullied the wannabee bully ensconced in some bunker. The wannabee bully bullied the kidnappers. The rescued hostages, in return, - reflecting Will's spirit - went and saved the presumptive leader injured in the earthquake, enabling him to take the reins.

Cosmic surveyor...thanks very much for the info. Sounds like I missed more than I realized. So perhaps we'll be seeing more of Will and family?

The lesson I've finally learned is not to try to record a program when the entire schedule has been thrown off by the NFL/other game.

Need to either be able to manually reprogram start times or duration when CBS has double headers or late single game football in your market.

Won't bore you with details but seems that my recording device won't allow me to set it manually. I even waited out the program prior to MS (NCIS/LA), then clicked "record" when MS started. I left for about 15 min., came back and started watching from beginning but still missed the last few scenes. As I said, outsmarted...

What I do is record the show that follows. Even if I don't watch the next show in full, the first part of the recording is the last part of Madam Secretary. This has worked for years when CBS's football games run late.

Hmmm....sounds like a plan. Thanks!

Set your machine to record the show after it too so you don't miss more in the future. :-)

Is your VCR flashing 12:00? You need to make sure the clock is set, otherwise it won't record correctly.
