Did I see it right? Did Fi really got shot? In the preview of "Shot in the Dark", next episode it looks like she got shot in her heart?

Hmmm we don't know anything really, but I'm pretty sure that she didn't get shot in her heart, because that would what, basically kill off the character and I don't think that's going to happen on the show.

More like her lower shoulder. Now was she wearing a vest?? Otherwise she could be needing Dr. Hank from RP.

i saw red... so i dont believe she was... however, it's BN who knows what michael's strategy is next week... but i think fi's going to be fine, otherwise BN wouldnt be the same

if she got shot it will be a minor wound. she is to important to the show.

MAN, I HOPE she actually gets shot. That would be awesome. I'd LOVE to see the fallout from that. I don't believe they'd kill her off because that would be insane. So, I'm not worried on that front. I think it would be fun to watch her recover from a semi-serious wound, it could be carried through a couple eps, maybe two. We could see how the team's activities are affected by having one member compromised.

That said, I'm still putting my money on it being a set up of some sort, but hey, we can hope.

I too also think that she got shot in the upper left part of her chest and I also thought I saw red too, so I think the bullet wound will be minor. I don't think there's anyway in heck that they would kill Fiona off the show early. Fiona's an important member of the cast and is vital to the entire series. Killing her would be pointless and if that did happen, I can already imagine the thousands of letters and emails poured to Matt Nix and his team about it. It wouldn't be good. So I don't think they would kill her off the show. It would be...awkward to do so.

I think I'm with you--it has to be some kind of set up so they can get the bad guy to skip town. But even if it is a sting--Michael is the one who probably shoots her--and it's going to leave a heck of a bruise, so Fi may get a little TLC from the brute!!!

Remember when she told Howard in the season premiere not to volunteer to be shot unless it was absolutely neccesary? A little foreshadowing there!!!

Well, it wouldn't be the first time a spy or someone like a spy pretended to die...wear a bulletproof vest; use blood pellets to fake a fatal wound. If your enemy believes that you are dead it gives you more room to move in a sense. And obviously Matt Nix & Co are not going to kill off Fi any more than they are going to kill Michael. Is it Thursday yet???

I think this will bring Michael and Fi closer together

Or farther apart as it would underscore her attitude of enjoying life while you can if she's really been shot by a bad guy and its not some setup.

Must we be so pessimistic? Now, let's say it all together--it brings them closer, closer, closer.....

If that part wasnt a dream or a foresight of a potential risk (which bn does not do much) or a prop to cause a reaction from a certain someone she's in trouble. There was blood and the area where the splatter was is very close to the Aorta which is the largest artery in the body. This would def shake up the show if she was shot but its not likely because it would be stupid to kill her so i agree with the above MW is too good its prob blood packets and a vest.

After watching the promo clip again, it appears to me that Fi is not wearing a bullet-proof vest. The blouse she is wearing is flowing and not stiff as it would be if there was a vest underneath as she is walking with Sam. When I hit the pause button at the six seconds left mark, I also noticed someone standing at the corner of the building behind them. He is in the shadow and the resolution on my laptop could be better, but I think it could be Michael...

Oh my gosh---you're right--it is Michael!!!

I blew that sucker up many times and I really think it is Michael. So my set up scenario is looking less and less feasible.

My first instinct is that the client story Michael is trying to convince the creepy step-dad to leave town b/c there's a hitman after him. Okay, so maybe the hitman takes a shot at Fi...but Fi is ready with vest and blood packets (and her wardrobe doesn't have to look like she's wearing one...willful suspension of disbelief). But typically these clips are from the first 5 minutes of the show...so how does that figure in?????

Curiouser and curiouser!

I thought it was the clips they posted later in the week that were basically the first few minutes of the next episode. The preview clips the night the ep airs are usually scattered. I watched the clip in slo-mo and you definitely see blood spurting out from the wound. A lot of blood. Could be a ruse, though.

you're right, Nora...it's a montage that's up right now, not an actual clip. hmmm.... IS IT THURSDAY YET?????

I am thinking the same think after watching it. And it is Michael standing behind them at the corner of the building.

Also to me anyway Fi looks awfully surprised when she gets hit. That makes me think its not part of a setup but that maybe Mike was selling Fi and Sam as the assassins and the bad guy shoots first.

hi all.

After reading everything and watching the clip repeatedly i would have to agree with the previous statement by Saggara. This makes sense. But we won't know until Thursday which is so far away. So, to quote Creegan, "all aboard the crazy train" because crazy is what we will drive ourselves until Thursday. lol.

I like that and I can say it too - closer, closer, closer



The crazy train is where I need to be tonight.

bcmom, you already know I've lost my marbles but dramamama wasn't on the Guess the Quote thread. She doesn't know that without my glasses on I couldn't tell the difference between her great dane and your three border collies. Based on that if anyone is looking for my opinion about Fiona getting shot, today is probably not the day to ask me. I seem to be very confused.

But I did watch it again and it does look like Michael around the corner of the building. But I thought there was also someone standing with him. Was there? You all know by now I'm not the one to ask. Did anyone else think there was a second person standing there? It might have been part of something else but it sure looked like a person to me.

I'm going to bed now. I must rest. my eyes

Ann

Next thing you know we're all going to start clapping and saying that "we do believe in Michael and Fi"

You are hilarious! The crazy train. No kidding! Next stop Thursday?? To quote our friend melybelle, is it Thursday yet??

I like the theory that it's a set up, that she's not really shot, but it would still hurt like heck. Could be a bean bag round and a fake blood packet or something. But then again, she looks awfully surprised and since the promo also talks about the foes being Miami's worst enemy or something like that...it's possible it's for real. But as we all surmise, there's no way they'll kill Fiona off. And she'll heal like....oh gosh, I really want to give credit for this one, who said it you guys (I can't go back and look and I'm not sure it's even in this thread....) but someone very clever said she'll heal as fast as the Charger. So thank you for that. I'll try to go back and give you kudos directly!

maybe Fiona...to quote Spencer (the client) that biotch is an alien.....teeheehee!!!

well, your eyes weren't seeing things there is someone standing slightly behind michael... i have a feeling it's the man (the actor from 'Better Off Ted') in the promos pics for this episode, or strickler

as for fi being shot, whether it's fake or not, i just want to see michael's reaction! will he still want to adamantly persue getting back into the spy game despite the risk of everyone around him, or will he finally realize that it might not be worth it...? (i think the former, but that's just me , even tho i hope for the latter )

When I saw the clip for the first time I was a little concerned but after reading all you guys had to say I am now convinced that she was wearing a vest and she won't be even slightly wounded.

LOL, and here I went and lost the fairy dust Tinker Bell gave me. Oh well, I guess the clapping will have to do. Really since I used to play Snow White at Disneyland as a summer job (Way way back in my college days) I'm more into the being awakened by a kiss scenario.

Actually the promos are made up of different parts of the show as a whole, the "spoiler" clips that we get at moviewebs are normally from the first five minutes. However, the "preview" clips that USA puts up can be from anywhere during the episode.

yeah, Fi, if you read down, I realized my error.

There's no way that shot killed Fi. Have you seen her six-pack? The bullet prolly bounced of her and went ka-ting. And then Mike and I ate some yogurt and worked out.

I am thinking the same think after watching it. And it is Michael standing behind them at the corner of the building.

After reading everybody and watch the clip again, Michael is standing behind them at the corner. Wow is it Thursday yet!

I'm with you Saggra,
Fi does look a wee bit surprised, and it is Michael standing behind the building. Do think the wound will be painful, but not too serious. Although, she is hit in the left upper lobe of her left lung...but this is show business, so maybe she won't have a collapsed lung. Maybe it'll just be a partial collapse and a liiiitle O2 will heal it right up and she won't need a chest tube.
I think you're right that he is trying to sell Sam and Fi as the assassins and the bad guy shoots first.
Now...as to the speculation as to the fallout of Fi getting shot on their relationship...this isn't a case that Mike's working on to "get back in" it's a "helping the little people" case... one that Fi wants Mike to keep doing and stay in Miami...so I think it will bring them closer together. However if this were a case of Strickler's to "get back in" and Fi gets shot in the process...well, that would tear them apart.
Seriously.....IS IT THURSDAY YET??!!!!!!
Save me a seat on the crazy train!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The other reason I don't think its a setup by Mike is that you've got Sam walking beside Fi and Mike standing behind her so exactly who would those three trust to take that shot at her? I just can't see them bringing in a fourth player to do something that if it went wrong could get Fi killed.

Does the crazy train have a dining car? I've been on it so long I'm getting a little hungry.

I dunno about her wearing a vest...her button down shirt is open pretty low in the chest area and I don't see her vest...besides, she usually wears it over her clothing.
I also saw a man standing with Michael bt the corner of the building. He's wearing what looks to be a tan sport coat. can't make out who he is though.

I think you are right Saqqara.

A dining car! That's funny. But, if it does, I hope Seymour is on board with those fruit smoothies...I'll take a mango to go!

I think the crazy train does have a dining car...I passed it on my way to the sleep car to get my room set up...it's gonna a LOOOONG week.

There's been some speculation that Fi might be preggers, so I've hedged my bets and got a baby shower gift! I'm covered if she has a girl!

http://i673.photobucket.com/albums/vv98/melybelle/hk47.jpg

Wow the train is filling up. lol yes it has dining car and sleeper cars for those of us who have been on it for eternity. .

ann... just loved your comment. lol you had me trying to figure out what i did even though i know i had done nothing. lol when i saw that dramamama was on the word thread i had a hunch you just mixed us up. was trying to figure out how you could with hers being a Great Dane and mine being Border Collies. but stranger things have happened. lol

I'll be in the bar car...if you see Sam let him know I'll be glad to buy him a mojito!

Okay, we may need to start a new group...SA, Speculator's Anonymous. Our first meeting will be on the Crazy Train. "My name is melybelle and I'm a speculator. I think that Fi is wearing a vest. A shot there simply is a kill shot. Yes, we do see Sam and Michael in the same 'shot', but they could easily get Seymour or Barry or even Det Paxson to fire blanks at Fi. As a trained operative, she knows how to act shot. Or they could get one of Sam's buddy's to fire live ammo at her wearing a vest, making impact, thus making the 'act' easier."

Ok...at least it's Saturday...just 5 more days left on this Train!! What worries me is if the Fi getting shot is the final scene of Thursday's episode. I mean, aren't we getting close to the end of the summer season, where Fi has to deal with some of her nasty past? In other words, TPTB could really be torturing us for TWO WHOLE WEEKS!! Well, then the Crazy Train will have to stop at the mental institution and leave me there for a 'lil vacation'.

I'm still on the fence with this one. I don't think it's technically a kill shot, though. People can survive anything and it could be a through and through. It doesn't have to hit any vital organs.

I agree, it looks like a kill shot to me as well so she must be wearing a vest.

To me it doesnt look like shes wearing a vest. On alot of other shows people have gotten shot in the shoulder adn lived so i think she'll recover from it just fine.

and do you mind if i jump on the crazy train too??

I'll meet you in the bar car! Keep that Grey Goose chilled!

I'm glad I made you laugh! And it looks like I'm headed for the crazy train as well. There was just so darned much to read on the forum the past few weeks that I try to read everything and we are a chatty bunch. Besides, without my glasses black, little pictures of black and white dogs......(total blur)......


I sure hope that crazy train isn't sold out yet; I definitely need a ticket.

As far as Fi getting shot is concerned, I'm leaning towards her really getting shot; the fallout from that would be something to see. I don't know that Michael would trust anyone to make that shot as a tactic, even with blanks. Mistakes happen and I truly do not believe he would put her in that position. If that were the case, he would have had them shoot at Sam with a blank but not Fiona. I hate to wish my life away but I can't wait until Thursday. I have a feeling the writers are going to drive us crazy for the next three weeks.

We'll save a seat for you in the bar car Ann! And I agree with you. I think she really gets shot; I don't think she's wearing a vest, or is Sam for that matter. And she'll be fine; it's hard to tell from the short promo clip and where the props folks put the blood burst, but it looks like shoulder, and probably goes through and through... She's a tough cookie and I have to believe she's survived worse before. I also agree that no way Michael agrees to have her shot as some sort of scheme set up, even with blanks. And if he did, you know damn well that he wouldn't trust anyone else but himself to take the shot at her, but again I can't see him doing that for any reason. And you're right too; if it is some sort of fake set up, why would it have to be Fi that goes down and not Sam? Sam is bigger, more sturdy target afterall! No, she's really shot and he's really going to have to deal with how that makes him feel....and I can't wait!!

I agree. I think the otherside got at them first and this should prove interesting to see how he handles it. As for how long she stays hurt, well you have to remember that the timeline can't be too long. They have been really good at keeping Michaels injuries around for at least the next episode. Like when Seymore hit him with the bat. But the show doesn't have the time frame to last much longer than that. They have to move past the injury. They don't have 6-8 wks to deal with body repair.

whether she wares a vest or not I am pretty sure this shot will give Michael a good scare and he probably will feel much the same as he felt when he thought he lost her in that fire. So, this shot might bring them a little closer but only for a little while, same as happened after the fire. And if she is hurt, she probably will recover pretty soon.

When Mike was shot (granted he was hit by ricochet) Nate pulled the bullet out and Mike was up and going by the next scene, so maybe Fi has the same magical healing powers. . I agree that it will probably be a through and through that doesn't hit anything major or how could she be up and running around for the mid season finale.
