Do series change writers between cliffhanging season finales and thrilling-conclusion premieres? It's seemed so the last two years on JAG. In tonight's tenth-season premiere, Lt. Col. MacKenzie must evade an assassin targeting her due to her association with CIA agent Clayton Webb (Steven Culp). Webb was believed to have died in last season's finale. Harm was quick to point out Webb had faked his death before, but the mildly psychic Mac said, "This time I know it's for real. I can feel it." And the episode closed with Harm consoling her.
Mac: Will you always be there for me?
Harm: Yes.
Back to tonight's premiere: Mac finds a rogue British agent in her apartment who believes Webb is alive. Instantly, Mac is back to scouring for traces this is true. No mention of her nigh-infallible sixth sense.
It turns out Webb is alive, hiding out at his family homestead, and the British agent who offered to help Mac find him is actually the assassin hired to kill him.
Webb's mother shoots the assassin in the back, and the episode ends with a melodramatic breakup for Mac and Webb. Harm is ready to talk things out, and Mac pushes him away.
Where's the consistency?
