Meanwhile, Jack is recruiting the Matobos into his Spy Games. They are understandably a little worried about playing pawns for a rogue group of ex-intelligence officials. Mrs. Matobo gently implores her husband to help out, as she seems to sense that Jack is telling the truth and has the best interests of Sangala and America at heart. Mr. Matobo agrees to help out on one condition...they leave his wife out of it. Jack reminds him that Dubaku wants her for leverage, which is a nice way of saying "torture." PM Matobo refuses, which prompts his wife to ask for a moment alone with him.

While Jack goes over to check on Almeida and Emerson, Mrs. Matobo tells her husband she wants to do her part. She is ashamed at having opened the door of the safe room, and wants to redeem herself for the people of Sangala, which is her country too. She takes her husband's head in her hands and sweetly insists that, after being by his side for 22 years, she won't leave it now. That's one hell of a wife! If my significant other were about to be turned over to torture-happy terrorists, I'd probably be trying to get the hell out of there and silently wondering when the last time I updated my match.com profile was. The former PM informs Jack they are both in for this crazy mission, prompting Jack to tell them that they are both very brave. Thank you, Captain Obvious Bauer!

She's more the eHarmony type...

Jack saunters over to a couch where Tony is still brooding over the ex-boyfriend that got away. And by "got away" I mean "was shot in the neck by him." Jack informs Tony that the Matobos are on board, and Tony just keeps staring at Emerson sadly. Finally, he tells Jack they need to get the "bodies" out of the way before Nichols and his crew show up. I guess this means that Emerson is now deceased?  I'll believe it when they decapitate him. After all, we are watching the same show where 2 of our leads have recently risen from the dead. We'll give them the benefit of the doubt and up the Death Count to 2, anyway.

Back in the Baddie Bunker, nameless henchman informs Dubaku that they are locked in. Dubaku tells him to "re-route the targets." The henchman tells one of the flights to take a turn right, sending it on a collision course with another flight. Dubaku then tells another Baddie to dial up ol' Stubborn Pants President Taylor on the telephone.

In the Oval Office, Kanin and Tim Woods from Homeland Security are briefing the President on the most recent NSA report, which states that they have no frickin' clue what is going on and can't localize where the attack will come from. He's about to tell her how equally far the FBI's head is up it's own ass, when Tim Woods gets a suspicious phone call on his cell. We know it's suspicious, because he's looking at his phone like it just told him it's pregnant and wants a million dollars monthly in child support.

good stuff, dogsnaxx ... despite the uneven quality of the show, the reviews keep getting better ... like previous weeks' commenters, i may skip the show and just read the review ...

Christopher Henderson.

@ Firthguy

You are right! That's really weird. My closed captions said "Anderson" while I was recapping the show, but I just looked it up on Wikipedia, and it's definitely Henderson.

Stupid Captions!

@ Firthguy

Holy crap! you are right. My captions said "Anderson", but I just looked it up on Wikipedia, and it's definitely Henderson. Stupid captions...
