what do you all think HRG excuse to his family will be - so he can sneak off to the ukraine?

Mr. Muggles has to go see a Ukrainian specialist for his depression/dog show envy.

Paper Convention?

I think that what West said for excuses will play out nicely here too. What isn't he supposed to be doing, anything that he did before to draw attention to him. An excuse for something he promised not to do that is a lesser evil will work, prehaps saying he needs to meet with say Nathan or another Hero about keeping Claire safe.

I must of missed something why are they going to the Ukraine?

im sure he will think of something- i mean he used to do that kind of stuff all the time when he worked for the company... lol

"I joined the Ukrainian Cheerleading Squad"

Haitan: I have a lead on the paintings, we have to go to Odessa
Noah: Texas?
Haitan: The Ukraine.... It's a long trip, what will you tell your family?

Okay thanks I thought they were going back to Odessa Texas. I was sick that week and only caught the Texas part I missed the part about the Ukraine.

Hehe yeah I missed it as well the first time, only picked it up the second or third time I saw that scene.

He also says it quite softly and i'm not too used to his accent so it was a bit hard to make out.

I like how since the first season is over and the Bennets are in a new state and home, that the secrets are supposed to be over between them. But it hasn't changed at all!! Lol, I just think that's funny...

Umm, let's see...
Horn-rimmed glasses fan club?
People who have seen themselves dead in a futuristic painting convention?
Golfing?..

i think he will tell them that he has to go to Odessa because they found some of the paintings. He doesn't have to mention Ukraine and his wife already knows about the paintings. Then he is off to Odessa.

i dont know maybee he will tell his wife what hes really doing but i doubt it!

I think he will tell his wife, His wife is a smart cookie and would smell the rat instantly if he said something like "golfing trip".

He just has to tell Claire and Lyle something, I don't care what he says to Lyle as he is probably the most annoying character I have ever seen for a very long time in any show.

I think just saying he is going to Odesa to make sure they are safe from the company might work by itself. He won't be lying, he just wouldn't be telling the whole truth as long as he omits the Texas versus Ukraine part

Thats probably True JennaR, but the look on Bennet's face and the way he said "Oh i'll think of something" just sounded sinister as if he was going to lie quite a bit more.

hahahahhahahhahahahhahahahhahaha
thats a good one
verry belivible

"I need to get my glasses repaired... no, the doctor who prescribed them is on vacation in the Ukraine, and I must see him personally. No, I can't get the prescription from another doctor, I need it from him. Yes, I need to get them now. Oh, the glasses I have on now?"

*drops... steps*

"Whoops..."

"I'm going out for a pack of cigarettes... I promise, I'll be RIGHT BACK."

-----

"My boss called. Apparently, I didn't get the memo... and I need to go in on Saturday... yea, I'm gonna have to be in on Sunday too... yeeeaaah..."

-----

"Good news; the car's been found! Where you ask? Across state. I'll need to take a train though, because that takes long-er, I mean, it might take a while to get all the paperwork done."

-----

"Yes, I'm serious. I signed up Mr. Muggles in a dog show in the Ukraine; no one in the company will know it's him, I promise you. I'll bring him there myself and watch over him."

I think Mrs. Bennett might actually go for this one, but then there is the problem of taking Mr. Muggles with him or putting him some where else

I thought the same thing JennaR
