She should have maintained a believable distance and shot him in the arm. If it was loaded then she can play it off like she has bad aim and then shoot marwan. if it's empty, well, then they both win

Ugh, so was there any logical reason why Dina would try and kill Marwan? He didn't do anything bad to her up until that point, and her character is clearly one that even up til 10 min. prior admitted she'd want Jack dead and believed in her cause. I mean it's not like any normal person would think they could kill 4 or 5 people all at once w/o having any real experience handling firearms previously and not even knowing how many bullets are in the gun to begin with.

Because if she didn't shoot Jack, she would die. If she did shoot Jack, she would never see her son again. So she decided to kill Marwan and do some good in the world before she died, and hopefully ensure her son's happiness and freedom.

Is it safe to assume she's dead? Afterall, the shooter only fired what? 2 shots? We don't know if they were headshots or to the body.

She could have pointed the gun slightly behind Jack's head and then pulled the trigger. If it was empty, it might look like she tried to kill him. If it was loaded, she could have quickly turn the gun onto Marwan and the rest. But then again, this is a tv show.

Isn't she the same girl who screwed the photographer in the airplane of season 1? She had the lesbian lover who tried to get more money for the ID card.

I don't buy this logic though, since her character was always put forth as someone who was more than happy to see the terrorists achieve their goals. Her son, in her mind, already had his freedom, even if she killed Jack, and with no love for Jack and his fellow Americans, the choice should've been simple to her. Marwan did nothing to provoke her to kill him.

(BTW, yes I know it's just a TV show, but this is one of the few times a plotline was a bit TOO absurd for me)

Nah, that's a different gal.

So, let's see - Jack, Tony, Michelle, and Chloe are all back together again. When's Pres. "Pimp" Palmer gonna show up with lil' Kim in tow?
