For its second outing of the season, “Burn Notice” delivers an episode titled ‘Mixed Messages’. While that bore some relation to the action, Jesse’s tap dance with a cartel thug and Fiona’s first days in prison, it also reflects on the season so far, early as it is.
Come to think of it, I'm surprised that it's taken "Eureka" this long to do an episode like this. Carter's role in the show has always been that of the average joe; the guy that the audience can most readily relate to. So considering the show's usual subject matter, it's only natural to imagine a scenario in which Carter's intelligence is artificially boosted. I don't know why I never thought of the idea before, because it's an old staple of the genre, but it makes perfect sense for "Eureka". And the timing couldn't really be better.
I think it's unfortunate that "Shall We Gather at The River" aired so close to the season premiere. Qualitative comparisons inevitably crop up, and they come with immediate judgment since the episodes are clumped so closely together. I thought this was the stronger of the two episodes because there was a singular purpose and drive to the plot within the episode.

This brilliance of course is also his curse as he frequently hallucinates, but he considers some of his hallucinations a gift.
