Five minutes later, Ho-Livia is having a little chit-chat via cell phone with some mysterious dude that Martin Collier put her in touch with. The dude tells her he's ready to roll as soon as she transfers the fee of $250,000 smackers into his account. Ho-Livia is curious about all the details, but the dude hilariously tells her they'll have no need for further contact after the funds are transferred and hangs up on her. She's about to transfer the funds when Aaron comes in and tells her that First Hubby is back at the White House and wants to see her! Either the thought of her father's disappointment if he ever found out what a heinous little bitch she is, or second thoughts about all the reporters she can buy off with $250,00 gives Lil' Ho-Livia a change of heart, and she can't bring herself to click the EXECUTE (pun intended?) button and cancels the bank transaction instead.
Olivia heads out of her office to see Daddy, and uses her cell-phone to call Gay Martin and tell him she "couldn't go through with it" and could he pretty please call her right away?
"Hey darling! Remember that whole conversation we had about offing the dude who killed my brother? I changed my mind. Oh, also, I'm thinking of going blonde. Thoughts? Brunch Sunday? Call me, sweetie! You're fab-u-lous! Mwah! It's Olivia, by the way."
Jack and Renee are zooming along with their illegally-detained Imam when Chloe calls in with some interesting intel. NOT-Patty's computer frame-job on Jibraan was no match for Chloe's tech wizardry and she discovered all the "back dating" shenanigans. Jack relays the information to Renee and the Imam, calling himself "stupid" for not realizing it made more sense for Tony and crew to use an innocent Patsy rather than trust the execution of details to a sleeper cell.
The Imam is SHOCKED, not by the frame-up...but that the Feds actually admitted they were wrong instead of covering their asses on the Jibraan front. He tells Jack that he forgives him for the whole illegally-detained business and Jack tells him to keep his forgiveness for the other pansies and religious folks. Imam dude tells Jack it's never too late to turn to God, and Jack either bites his tongue to avoid saying something mean or has the onset of one of his shakey attacks. It's hard to tell.
In the White House, Mama Taylor is hanging with First Hubby and holding his little sippy cup for him. Apparently, she just finished explaining what's been going on and her rationale for pardoning the Evil bastard that killed their son. Unlike Ho-Livia, he's cool about it. After all, she's the President and doesn't owe anyone an explanation. Ho-Livia walks in about 10 seconds too late to hear what being a proper/supportive family member is all about.
Daddy tells Ho-Livia that he's super duper pleased with the whole family reconciliation thing...but could she stop being a pissy little bitch about the Jonas Hodges thing? Funny it should come up, because Ho-Livia is just itching to tell Mommy and Daddy about her change of heart and manages to kiss Ma Taylor's ass a little in the process...talking about her pragmatism, leadership, snappy red suits, and yada yada yada. Mama Taylor is proud of her little Ho and mentions that Jonas will get his someday...maybe in the next life if not this one. Who knew she was a believer in reincarnation? I bet the Christianists would go NUTS with that info during a campaign. Shhh...I won't tell!

Oh God, "Best.Party.Ever", coupled with the look on his face - LMAO!
Thanks for the recap - loved it as usual!
Looking forward to tonight's - just about to start it - should be timed so I can skip the commercials.
Janis should just STFU, and I'm about as liberal as they come. What Hodges said, the whole "Muhammed this, Ahkmed that" was what was really gross.
I hope Ho-livia gets hers tonight. If there's a God in 24, that bitch will. So sick of her. I can't believe she pussied out on the hit - so she's not only a sleazy, skanky, meddling bitch, she's a pussy as well.
Have a good week!

@ JJ
Thanks, as always, for reading! The "Best.Party.Ever!" was probably my personal fave as well. You have good taste! Haha.
Awesome episode this week! I'm getting started earlier so I can go back to the traditional length/hilarity. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
And...Holy Shit! Did you see last night's episode? Awesome!

I hope you didn't give up on me! I was so tired from work all I had the energy to do last night was watch 24.
I love your screencaps and I think your recaps ARE haha funny.
Ho-livia is a big disappointment to me. I thought she was going to be a 1st rate villainess, but really she's just kinda pathetic.
I'm also a little disappointed that the cabal behind this whole thing seems to be the Boring Middle-Aged White People conspiracy.

I still laugh when I see that Best.Party.Ever. It just doesn't get old! He does the same pouty lower lip that my son perfected within an hour of his birth. :-P
I'm with Pixielated - even your shorter recaps are effing hilarious, and it's not as if you skip anything.
And oh yeah, holy shit indeed! I did watch last night. Can't wait for next week, but I'm bummed it's already almost over.
