After a break, we check in on Prez Taylor, who is arriving at the hospital with heavily armed, camouflaged military guard. A nurse hilariously gets all star struck and freaked out by the President, who ultimately turns to her husband's surgeon for answers. He tells her that First Hubby's injuries are serious enough to warrant at least 5 episodes hours worth of surgery, but that she can see him briefly before he's taken into the OR. Madame Prez, who's a bottom-line kinda gal, wants to know what his chances are...the surgeon's response: Not good. Awww.

We are treated to a sweet scene of the Prez and First Hubby as he's wheeled into surgery. She notes that he was right all along about Roger's death, and she knows that now. First Hubby calls Roger a hero, and she tells him that he is one too. Awww... She kisses him as he's wheeled into the OR. As she perches herself in a window on the OR door, I noticed that she took another of her stress/mousse breaks!

By the end of the season...she's going to look like this

Anhoo...she asks Bill if he knows someone trustworthy that can bring her daughter to the Hospital. She has a daughter?! Did I miss that from '24: Redemption'? Bill wonders why she can't just call her daughter, and she mentions that she'd never answer the phone. Luckily, Bill knows just the man for the job. Before he walks away to make the call, he mentions that she REALLY needs to read 'My Mother, My Self'.

Back in Marika and Rosa's pad, Renee is showing them pictures of Dubaku in military garb and running down the list of his atrocities. Marika begs them to stop, saying she's heard enough. They ask where he is and where she's going to meet him. Unfortunately, she has no clue...just that he was going to call and let her know. Jack demands her phone, so he can try to listen in/trace the call. Marika flips out and doesn't want to talk to him. Jack sweetly gives her a little pep talk and tells her she can do it. No sooner has he finished reading his line, than the phone rings and it's Dubaku on the horn! She takes the call and he wants to know why it took her so long to answer and why she sounds like she's freaking out! She blames it all on Rosa and their Telenovela spat. He wants to know if Rosa is going to be a "problem" for them, but she tells him that her sister is just peachy keen now that she knows she is going to be uprooted and moved to Belize, herself, in a couple of days. Marika asks where he is and where she's going to meet him, but he tells her not to worry her pretty little head with details and that the driver he is sending will take care of everything.

After telling Marika she did a nice job, Jack and Renee have a little pow-wow by the window to discuss "What next?" since they got squat out of the call. Jack's idea: Let's let the innocent young woman go to the blood-thirsty madman so we can track her via cell phone! Renee gets a "You've got to be shitting me" look on her face, but Jack tells her they don't have another choice! He approaches the couch and kneels before Marika, placing his hand on hers, and switches over to s smooth calming tone of voice rather than his usual Jack Bark. Dr. Jack sweetly asks her to please do them a favor and go along with the driver to Dubaku. Rosa, of course, flips her lid and starts yelling that Jack's idea is crazy! Marika, however, cuts her off and agrees to do it with little argument. It's a little jarring since she gave them such a hard time about the phone call...but the episode is ending in, like 20 minutes...so who has time to argue?

Jack gets to work setting up the tracking process, while Renee is treated to the bookend of the Telenovela nonsense as the sisters weep and embrace and Rosa admits to being jealous of Marika and not wanting to lose her.
