When Mercy arrives at the compound, she has to display an intimacy with Chad that is far from the reality. Your thoughts about the scene and ongoing displays of affection?

When I found out Chad was married, the ick factor skyrocketed. Of course, that was finding out too late for sure. I cannot imagine
a person going undercover like that.

Chad was determined to sell the fact that he and Jessica were a couple. I think he did that quite well. The compound would probably expect the two of them to be all over each other since they haven't been together for months.

I got very turned off by Chad’s over exuberant kissing (tongue action). No one else was doing PDA and I thought he was laying it on a little thick. This was a tough aspect of being undercover.

I agree with you Jonetta. It was too much from Chad. He was always telling Mercy to be cautious but he went over the top with the tongue action. I was disappointed that Mercy didn't tell him to dial it back too. Like Charlene when we find out he was married, my blood boiled again.

Yuck. Too much tongue action - overboard imo.

This was the first sign, for me, that Chad was too inexperienced at undercover work.

Yuck, just yuck. However, I had not thought about Chad being experienced at undercover work. That is a very good point because the PDA tongue action seemed to me to be what he was all about.

He just did everything a little too much, like he was trying too hard.

Yeah it was full on especially with the fact that Mercy wasn't the operative that he was expecting. But when people are deep undercover they have to do all sorts of things to ingratiate themselves with the bad guys. So on the scale of things, a little tongue action whilst icky wasn't really too out there.
