On her way out of the room, Olivia is intercepted by Kanin who wants to have that little chat he was ordered to have with her. They sit down and he bluntly tells her that the administration has suffered many losses and they want to bring her in as a special advisor. Olivia is surprised...not that she's being asked, but that Kanin agreed to it. He tells her that, liker her mother, he's ready to put the past behind them. This prompts a sincere apology from Olivia for "overstepping her bounds" during the campaign fiasco. Kanin is glad she sees it that way, and is about to leave, when she stops him and goes into full-on bitch mode! She doesn't care about the past, she wants to talk about how Kanin and her mother's administration have failed her terribly with the whole corruption/terrorist attack thing! She basically blames Kanin for everything, and tells him she's surprised he hasn't tendered his resignation yet. Kanin, of course, bristles at this...telling her she has no right to speak to him that way! He calls her out on being a pissy bitch and tells her she doesn't know what she's talking about, nor have facts. Bitchy Olivia: Doesn't care so much. She tells him it's going to be her mission to find out who failed her mother and make them pay. As she storms away, Kanin looks exasperated. This must be that "political liability" stuff he was talking about earlier.

When we return, it's interrogation time at the hospital! As Jack heads to Ryan's room, Larry stops him with a firm hand to the chest. Party Pooper Larry tells Jack he'll be watching and if he lays "one finger" on Burnett, it's all over. Jack looks down at the five fingers Larry is laying on him, which shames Larry into pulling his hand away as Jacks says "right" sarcastically. haha.
In Burnett's room, the Doc informs Jack that he's coming around and head out. Jack closes the door, while the Feds gather around monitors to watch. Jack kinda hovers over Ryan and tells him to wake up. He asks "remember me?" and Ryan freaks out! He wants to know what Jack is doing there! Jack tells him that the attack on the White House failed, the President is safe, but a lot of good people died...including his good friend Bill Buchanan. Ryan tells Jack to stay away from him, demands a lawyer, and is his usual Pansy-Pants self. Jack hilariously starts taking off his tie, wrapping it around his hand ominously, and tells Ryan everyone is done talking...that's why they sent him. Ryan's response: "I'll tell you everything!"

Above the room, in the crawl space, Dr. Quinn Bad Medicine Man cuts out the audio feed and the Feds freak out mildly and wonder what's up. He hacks the video feed as well, and drops a little metal pellet into the room with some kind of nerve gas! Jack and Ryan both convulse and Jack drops to the floor, foaming at the mouth and paralyzed!

Quinn drops into the room with a gas mask on. He jams the door lock with an oxygen tank, and busts a piece of glass while the Feds watch an incorrect audio-less loop! He gets Jack's prints on the glass, and then totally slits Ryan's throat with it and jams it into his chest!

He wipes the foam off Ryan's mouth with a towel and walks away from the bed and climbs back into the ceiling just as the live feed comes back. Ryan's monitor flatlines and the Feds see him lying in bed stabbed and dead dead dead! As they race to the room, Jack awakes from his temporary paralysis and realizes what's going on!

Rather than deal with Larry and the other Feds directly, Jack decides to run for it and climbs into the ceiling crawl space that Dr. Quinn escaped to moments ago.
In split screen, we see Renee packing her desk, the Prez and Olivia brooding, and Jack escaping while Larry kicks at the door! Larry and the Feds finally bust into the room and see Burnett's corpse. Larry calls in a "high priority APB" on Bauer...all agencies! No Recalls! No Take-Backs!

Great episode! Hilarious recap! Thanks, Dogsnaxx!
Who else thinks Zombie Spice looks like Miss Coco Peru?!?!?!?

@ slumrville
LOL. I googled Miss Coco, and you are right! If Renee had an Adam's Apple and Dong, they'd be twins!

One of your best recaps, Dogsnaxx!
Did you notice that the GI Joe/Bill doll looked like John McCain?
I think that Sen. Pansy Pants shrieked, "Behind you!" at Jack, not "NO!"
I'll bet Hodges is scheming to put evil Powers Boothe in the White House! He was probably Taylor's disgraced opponent.

Great job, as usual! I can always count on you to make me laugh! And point out things I missed watching the show - hello the Bill doll!
Speaking of Bill... Am I the only one mourning him? I loved his character, Chia growth and all. He has that hot older man thing going on, plus he was always just a decent character. I wish they could have gotten Dickhead in the explosion instead.
Loved the zombie screen shot of Walker - I delete way too many pictures of myself with that same expression. The Willis one was so funny too!
Olivia needs to be bitch slapped.
Think Hodges is in cahoots with Hayworth?

@ Pixielated
Thanks! And you are totally right, that doll looks like McCain! The producers of the show are McCain fans, I wonder if it was intentional?
@ Slumrville
...stay tuned! If Renee gives Coco face, I'll do a side by side for sure.
@ jjnoza
I totally got a little choked up when Bill bought the farm during my first viewing of the episode. I think repeated viewings and trying to be funny in the recap desensitized me. But let's all raise our glasses to Chia Bill. He grew and grew and grew into our hearts!
I have a feeling Hayworth has something to do with everything going on. If it's not him, it's his little piggy David.
