This is a recap of the season one finale of Pan Am, entitled 1964. Spoilers ahead if you have not seen it!

Oh, no! Ashley is convincing Ted that having an open marriage is a good thing. Guy’s dream. And then there is Laura with coffee. Rethink that Teddy.

And look — it’s the crooked pilot trying to convince Maggie to smuggle some jewelry into the US. Looks like she’s going to do it. Oh, dear.

Now it’s New Year’s Eve? How long ago did they film this episode?

Dean is grounded and has a hearing?

Yay Maggie! you stand up for you rights.

Oh yeah, it’s Amanda. And now Ted’s wedding is a social event and he’s having second thoughts? Don’t let down Daddy now. There are pilot wings in your future, boy!

A knock on Kate’s door at the end of the night. Richard’s been shot. By someone he doesn’t know while delivering microfilm. But there’s a mole. There’s a double agent. So now Kate has to deliver it the next day by noon. AND she has to avoid the double agent.

Colleen has a date with a Prince. He flew in her favorite chef from Paris. Where can I get a prince of my very own?

Ted gets Laura a new camera and she shows him pictures she took. And then Ted gets serious and asks why she broke it off with her ex fiance. Oh, look! Sparks!

Dean’s outside Collette’s apartment. She tells him that the Prince wants to formally court her. And wishes him luck at his hearing.

Meanwhile more spy intrigue for Laura. Yet again. I can’t get very excited about this. It seems all her missions are of such super importance.

Again, Amanda/Ashley has awful, awful hair. Ted breaks it off with Amanda. FINALLY! What took you so long? And then Amanda goes to Laura and asks her to be Ted’s mistress. WHAT? Well that idea didn’t go over well.

Now back to earth with the “official courtship” of a Prince. Collette has to give her life story to the royal officials. How unromantic.

Maggie attends the meeting and learns that they were going to be double crossed and runs out dragging what’s-his-face with her. But now they’re in a jam cause the dealers have guns! So they run.

Ted breaks up with Amanda cause he has feelings for Laura. And he tells her after she storms in asking what she’s suppose to do with Amanda’s ridiculous offer. And suddenly they’re kissing.

Now Boyles is a good bed partner? Money is an aphrodisiac I guess.

Collette is jewish? This is new. Her parent’s are Jewish and she has a brother. Holy crap!

The hearing isn’t going so well and Captain Boyles comes in to save the day. But he’s suspended for 6 months.

More spy stuff. Double cross the double crosser? Smooth Laura. You have learned well young grasshopper. My, my, my — Kate gets an offer to be a full agent?

Amanda’s pregnant? And you believe her Teddy? Oldest trick in the book.

The boys are getting drunk on plane…..but make it to the New Year’s Eve party! And Dean wants to help Collette find her brother.

The ball drops, and it’s 1964.
