Renee is still in Vossler's house where the baby has managed to calm down a little. Jack calls her and gives her the address of the store in DC, telling her to meet him there. He tells her he's going to update Bill, and she should do the same with Larry. She asks about Vossler, and Jack tells her he's dead, that he attacked him and had no choice. We are treated to a shot of moody silence on Renee's part. She stares at Mrs. and Baby V. and starts to cry. Jack asks if she's OK, and she says "No, I don't think I am." Jack, sensing that she is conflicted, thanks her for all the hard work and suggests that maybe she should get out of the operation. She tells him "Maybe I will...tomorrow." I realize that Renee is supposed to be the conscience of the show this season. But if she's going to pout and cry every time there is an ethical dilemma...this is going to be a LOOONG day. Suck it up Renee!

Back at the White House, the secret service detail and Matobo "double" check in with Kanin on their way out and he tells them they'll be monitored by satellite. President Taylor asks Kanin how much time their little ruse will buy, and he says "10 or 15 minutes." Then, Bill Buchanan comes up and informs her that Bauer and Taylor have the address and are en route. She asks again how long that will take and Bill says "10 or 15 minutes." I look down at my watch and realize there is 10 or 15 minutes left in the episode, as well. How amazingly convenient! Guess what '24' producers...there is an exasperated eye roll coming from me...but it's going to be in 10 seconds, not 10 minutes!

bitch, please
Wonder Woman's with me on this one!

At FBI HQ, Agent DeadSlut delivers a flash to Sean from Homeland. This is a flash of the "news" variety and not of the nudity variety...just making that clear. Whatever is in the memo, it confirms his suspicion that they are being kept out of the loop. Sean snatches it out of her hand, thanks her, and walks away. She's all confused and looks over at Janis, who giver her a "Ho! Stay away from the married man!" look. Erika DeadSlut gets a shamed and confused expression on her face and scampers off.

Sean delivers the flash to Larry. It's about Homeland lowering the terrorist threat level. Sean is waaaay out of the loop. He thinks it's odd that the threat level would be reduced when they still have no idea what happened to the CIP device. Larry does a poor acting job trying to play along and says "Yeah, I'll talk to homeland." He tries to walk away, but Sean stops him. He thinks something is going on behind their backs (duh!). Larry says "Like I said, I'll talk to them" and gets a super secret phone call that he takes while walking away from D-Bag. D-Bag, of course, looks at him suspiciously. The call is Renee checking in. She informs Larry she's on her way to try and save the First Hubby. He offers a SWAT team, which she rejects. There is another matter she would like to discuss however, and that is: Can he please help her cover up the Vossler death until everything is clear? Larry flips his shit!!! Again!!! For the 1 Billionth Time!!! He's all jealous and demands to know what the hell she is doing with Bauer. After all, suspects are supposed to be brought in for questioning, not killed! Renee says "Pwetty Pweeeze!" She also reminds him that until the identity of the FBI mole is known, it has to be handled outside the Bureau. Larry is totally Pussy Whipped and gives in. He knows some dude at DC Metro police that will help him out. She thanks him and hangs up.

slumrville:

Great recap, Dogsnaxx! Very thorough, and very HILARIOUS! One point of clarification, though. Between season 3 and 4, Jack worked for Senator Heller in DC, which would explain his ability to navigate the landscape so effortlessly.

Firthguy:

Bowel movements. Heh.

I already called it. Chloe by a microprocessor.

oranges:

love the recap. and i was wondering about the coffee table thing too!

Dogsnaxx:

@ Slumrville
Thanks for the clarification! I lived in Arlington, VA for 6 1/2 years and my knowledge of DC is about 1/100th of Jack Bauer's! Further proof that he is the man!

@ Firthguy
I remember you calling it. I think you're right. The episode guide on Wikipedia says Chloe and Janis are going to "clash". Oh please, oh please let there be some pushing and shoving! I want to see that.

@ Oranges
Thanks for reading! The coffee table was ridiculous! Ever hear those stories of mothers getting super human strength to lift cars and stuff when their children are in danger? That's the first thing I thought of when Renee cuffed Mrs. V. to the little coffee table.
