Recap / The Man From Uncle S 1 E 26 The Love Affair

A disguised Solo confronts Brother Love in this publicity still.

Acts:

1. "Love Is A Bump On The Head"
2. "Love Is A Hand Grenade"
3. "Love Is A One-Room Cell"
4. "Love Is A Big Boom"

Tropes:

• Hoist by His Own Petard: At the climax Solo and Pearl Rolfe, disguised as Brother Love's monk-like Mooks, load the grenade-like Time Bomb that Love was planning to use on them and a Kidnapped Scientist into Love's helicopter. Then they remove their hoods and wave at him as he takes off. Love has just enough time for an Oh, Crap! reaction before his own bomb blows him out of the sky.
• Sinister Minister: Brother Love is an evangelist who preaches peace and love... when he's not helping THRUSH kidnap scientists to force them to build the 1965 equivalent of a Wave-Motion Gun.
• Title Drop:
  Illya: It always hurts when you break up a love affair.
