After Marika skips off to quit her job, Dubaku picks up the phone and calls a nameless suit to find out if his travel arrangements are being made. The suit is having a rough time because of the whole "all flights grounded" thing...remember that? Dubaku doesn't care about the red tape and roadblocks, he wants what he wants when he wants it, as we all know. The suit tries to dissuade him by saying that General Juma will be displeased that the mission is being abandoned, which prompts Dubaku to say he has done all he can, and if that's not enough for Juma, then to hell with him! The suit finally relents and offers to meet at the "usual spot" in a half hour, but that's not good enough for Dubaku. He wants to meet in the lobby of a busy hotel in 15 minutes. He hangs up and jumps in a car with driver! Finally! No more public transportation! His MetroCard must've run out.

Back in the basement, Jack and Renee are searching the dead bodies, when her boyfriend daddy Big Boss Moss calls to check in. After exchanging a few pleasantries and making sure she's OK after the gunfight, he gets down to the real reason for his call. Apparently, Mrs. Vossler didn't appreciate being held hostage at gunpoint, cuffed to a coffee table, and having the life of her little baby threatened...so she filed a police report. This displeases Larry a great deal, even though he knew what they were up to before they did it. Renee's response "It worked, didn't it?" This shakes Larry's cage a little because he doesn't like his girlfriend sliding down Bauer's slippery slope to Torture-Town. He starts ripping into her, reminding her that Bauer's methods and logic have him currently facing a Senate SubCommittee and yada yada. Renee catches a glimpse of herself in the mirror, complete with guilty little blood stains on her hands and cheek (subtle!). As if her torture tears from earlier in the season weren't enough proof of the internal conflict gripping Zombie Spice, she confesses that she is troubled by everything and didn't like being looked at like a "monster." Awww...suck it up! Luckily, this little lover's quarrel is interrupted by Jack, who tells her he managed to obtain an address by cross referencing information on the dead dudes' PDAs. As they race off to the address, he asks her if she's OK, and she lies and says she's fine...as we cut to break.

She's actually just rehearsing the "Out, damn'd spot!" soliloquy for an audition tomorrow...

After a quick glimpse of Marika sneaking into her apartment to pack for Belize while Rosa naps in front of the TV, we see Chloe being driven to FBI HQ by her hubby Morris, while their adorable little boy Prescott hangs out in the back seat. Apparently, she went home after helping save the Matobos for a quickie with Morris, a shower, and a bowl of Lucky Charms. They have a cute little chat about how she needs to get to the bottom of the Government conspiracy to aid and abet Dubaku, but that she'll be all finished with saving the world afterwards. Morris tells her to watch her back, and she tells him she can take care of herself, he needs to worry about watching their little boy. They watch as she enters HQ looking like a nervous little girl on the first day of school.

Prescott
What're the odds that the spawn of two sourpusses like Chloe and Morris would actually know how to smile?!

Upstairs in the FBI Cubicle Maze, Larry gives Janis a couple little assignments that she calls administrative crap and busy work. He tells her to STFU and do what he asks, and oh yeah...could she please set up a secure socket in the conference room? Janis is, of course, skeptical...so Larry lies that he is bringing in a consultant from Homeland that is going to be searching the network for lingering CIP breaches. Whoa! By-The-Books Moss told a lie! He probably had to douse himself in holy water and say a bajillion Hail Mary's after that!

Yay! Aaron's back!!! Can't wait for the Chloe/Janis slapfest that will likely ensue! This show rocks!!!

The recaps are great, too!

jjnoza:

Great episode - although it would take a lot for me to knock 24. And as for the recap -

*standing ovation*

Too many hilarious quotes to point out, and the screenshots/captions rocked!

I really hope Jack and Renee don't hook up. I know Audrey's out for this season, but there's still hope for next, please oh please.

Can't wait to see Chloe and Janis go at it too.

pixielated:

Yeah, jjnoza, there's always hope now that "Lipstick Jungle" has tanked.

That field of red flags reminded me of my ex-boyfriend. *sniffle*

Dogsnaxx:

@hillpete
Thanks!

@jjnoza
There's a great article from last weekend's NY Times about Chloe/Janis and Mary Lynne/Janeane's real life friendship. I'd link to it, but include links in posts...check it out!

@pixie
I feel your pain. Been there, myself.

jjnoza:

Interesting article - I wouldn't have found it otherwise - thanks! I understand Janis's character a lot better now - the mix of anxiety and irony. She irritated me a lot at the beginning, because I couldn't tell if she was supposed to be an FBI Chloe - yet didn't seem to have any balls/much of an edge, so to speak. Should have realized there was more to it!
