If Covert Affairs can come up with episodes like "Houses of the Holy," a bottom to middle level episode in comparison to the others, it should be fine in the long run. It was filled with cliches of a cheating Senator, traitorous wife, and Chief of Staff caught in the crossfire, but the essentials of what makes the show good were still there.
Annie's family life is the weakest part of the show and I'm not sure if it's even necessary. This week, Annie finds her brother-in-law not at work where his is supposed to be, and suspects cheating, as the Senator cheating got her mind churning. In the end, he tells Annie that he lost his Job and later tells Danielle. I'm still not caring much, but we'll see if it gets better.
Score: 8.5/10
