The camper is mysterious. In one episode, the one with the witch, he left
it behind wherever he first got the call, but then he went and picked it up
between rescuing the witch and coming to the witches house for his money. I
have no idea where he left it or how it was possibly secure. In another
episode, the cute lawyer came to visit him, and she commented that the
camper was in the exact same place it was in the first episode, even though
he moves it every week.

I have a lot of questions. Why did the wife disappear in the first place?

Because Eileen (sp) pulled up behind the store and told her to come to
the car so they could run. Presumable through a phone call or text. As
to how she knew where the wife was she's a top spy. As to why the wife
went along with the plan she said Eileen had told her this might
happen long ago (the unit being compromised) and the only option was
to immediately leave everything behind.

What was the original plan? She’s saying that if the wife hadn’t run, they
could’ve just replaced the dead people and nobody would ever notice that
the satellite had been redirected? Wouldn’t you leave one of the four
people she murdered alive tied up in a closet just in case she lost the
wife?

I think the plan was that she would have the bodies disappeared so
that no one put out a call to the police until after that 24 hour
period was up. Presumably that is how long she needed the satellite to
be in position to either see something or not see something. To her it
didn't matter if someone noticed the satellite was redirected so long
as it took more than a day which it likely would have given that they
were essentially independent. As to keeping someone else alive that
would depend upon whether they had the clearance to retarget the
satellites.

Now my question was how did she plan to restart the group elsewhere
still retargetting satellites. That only works if the DOD (think they
were a part of them) still trusted her. Wouldn't they find it odd that
someone took out her entire team but left her alive. Sure, she might
try and explain it away but I wouldn't trust her with that much power
after that loss.

I finished all the episodes released as of today of WILD CARDS. I had to
get the CW app to watch season two and I feel really dirty.

Pretty much every episode is the same formula of another Buddy cop episode
of other shows like they go to investigate an attempted murder on a ranch
and it turns out the prize winning horse was the actual target.
His ex-wife returns
Her ex-husband returns.
Her dad gets a 72 hour furlough from the federal pen for his birthday. I am
absolutely sure that’s not how any of this works.
The duo has to investigate at the movie studio, where they get to use their
own sets as sets. By the way, this was the vampire episode and in a very
cool piece of casting the lovely Ashley Greene played the shows producer.
Half of our duo, decides to go to the bank and of course walks in on a
robbery they quickly turn into a hostage situation.
Because they have jurisdiction everywhere in Maine and Vancouver, they
investigate a murder at a mysterious private island.
Rear Window. (No elaboration needed)

They actually wrapped up the series nicely with the end of season one. And
then had to reboot it to get it back to the same place for season two.
