Speaking of Hodges, he's hanging out awaiting transfer and looking at pictures. Either they are photos of his wife and daughter, or Candy Spelling and her lesbian lover. It's hard to tell, honestly. Sully comes up and they chat a little about the funny new name and how Hodges isn't used to it yet. Sully also demands Hodges fork over his wallet and pictures, as he can't have anything that ties him to his former life. As they head out, Hodges starts spewing his normal crazy stuff about how he doesn't intend to be Mr. Tippett forever and maybe he and Sully can work together someday. Also, it should be noted that Sully said at one point he "doesn't intend to be ferrying prisoners around forever." Hmm...is HE the hired assassin?
Anyhoo, while Sully has Jonas paperwork processed by a guard, Crazy-Pants pulls out one of his pictures. He had stuffed it in his shirt in a final act of defiance to the man! There's some sad/tingly music while he pouts at the picture, and then KABOOM! The SUV explodes and Jonas is dead dead dead! So much for calling off that hit, eh Ho-Livia?
Five minutes later, in the Oval Office, Tim Woods comes in to update Mama and Ho-Livia on the progress toward stopping the bio-attack. The situation is still not looking good! Nor is Olivia's face when Tim gets a call about Jonas having gone on to the Starkwood Military Industrial Complex in the sky. Olivia pretends to be surprised and then fakes a cell call to get out of the office. When she's gone, Tim theorizes that it had to be an "inside job." Lil' Livvy is totally gonna get busted!
While a suspicious Aaron hangs back around a corner, Olivia calls Martin and flips her shit big time! She wants to know WTF happened since she changed her mind. She keeps talking and talking, while Martin keeps telling her to shut up, shut up! It's not a good idea to have phone conversations about stuff like that, so he tells her to get to Pershing Park as soon as she can and they'll chit-chat face to face. She agrees to meet him. This is going to turn out really great for Olivia, I bet. She's full of good ideas today!
Jack and Renee roll up to Jibraan and Hamid's pad and catch up with their SWAT team buddies. They are filled in on the status of the "operation," and that there's a Baddie inside with a hostage. The Imam is all helpful and BFF with everyone now and identifies the hostage and Jibraan's little bro Hamid. Jack has another of his "eureka!" moments and thinks it makes perfect sense to use a loved one as leverage...that's what he would do to! They prepare to storm the apartment and Jack reiterates to everyone that it's super-duper important that the hostile be taken alive, as he's their only hope of finding Tony and crew.
Renee and her new instant-BFF Imam have a private little chat. The Imam expresses concern over Jack's condition and Renee tells him all about the bio-weapon and how there's no cure, and how one time she stole $5 out of her Grandma's purse but gave it back. Seriously, WTF was the point of that conversation? Is it supposed to make the fact that Jack was screaming at and illegally-detained an innocent religious leader more palatable to the audience? I call bull-shit!

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.
