Luckily, they are interrupted by Kanin. The Prez and Kanin greet each other warmly with a hug and intense look into each other's eyes, which made me wonder if there was something going on there. After exchanging a few lines about how "being attacked and taken hostage totally sucks", the Prez gets down to business. In short: They lost a lot of good personnel tonight. Also, she and her daughter are besties again, so she wants to bring her into the administration as a "special advisor." Nepotism rocks! Kanin does his usual job of shitting all over the President's ideas. While he understands that the emotional thing is strong after the attack, he reminds her that Olivia is a "political liability". Apparently, Lil' Olivia is kind of a bad ass and purposely leaked damaging information about the President's opponent during the Presidential campaign, which is what got her fired. There's some back and forth, with the Prez defending her daughter and how she's "changed" and Kanin telling her it's a mistake. The Prez finally says out loud what she's been doing in action for the entire season. She barks "I don't care what you think!" Kanin looks like a sad puppy. Anyhoo, the Prez tells him she didn't really mean that, but she is dead set on Olivia joining the administration, so it's important to her that Kanin make peace with her, and he can start by delivering the "good news." He has no choice but to agree. On the way out, Prez Taylor asks what was up w/ that Agent Walker business, and he lies to her that it was "procedural" stuff and he took care of it.

Outside, a chopper arrives and Jack is placed in it to go torture interrogate Burnett. Jack and Larry totally have a stare-down/eye-f*ck moment.

Renee comes running up to Larry sporting the hugest guilty look ever and says "You wanted to speak with me?" Haha. Larry rips into her for going behind his back, and she defends her actions saying he "didn't give her a choice!" Larry, of course, responds that she could have chosen to follow orders. Renee, who has totally been baptized into the church of Bauer by this point, tells Larry she's seen Jack do some CRAZY shit, some of which she can't condone...but that he's always right! Duh! Larry needs to check out those Season 1 through 6 DVDs, as well. Walker tells Larry that she's sorry for going over his head, but wait'll he sees the results! He tells her she's nuts and they are totally breaking up! He orders her back to FBI and tells her to clean out her office! She's suspended indefinitely. What?! She protests, of course, telling him "this isn't over" and he's going to need her! What Larry needs is someone he can trust (read: not her) and a new Girlfriend, STAT! Conversation over. Jack, overhearing the whole thing from his chopper kinda rolls his eyes at Larry's lame-ness.

Larry jumps in the chopper with Jack and, as they fly away, starts venting his frustration. He tells Jack he's going to keep a watchful eye and short leash on this interrogation. Jack tells Larry he should lay off Renee because she was just doing what she thought was right. Larry tells him she might lose her job over this, and Jack reminds him she's the best agent he's got! Larry says he can't let her go unpunished for circumventing his authority. He further vents that he's known her for nine years and has never seen her do the kind of tricks she's done in the last nine hours. Jack kinda gives him a knowing/exasperated look as we cut to break.

When we return, Hodges is getting an update from some dude (Chapman?), who informs him they've narrowed down their search for targets to 12 surrounding the "base". In each target zone, there are approximately 10-15,000 people and the kill ratio will be 80%! Hodges says "let's hope we don't have to find out", which means he's probably on some kind of black-mail play. I'm sure that'll turn out great! Anyhoo, he tells his man to get the info down to his tac-ops people and start gettin' ready.
