Jibraan relays his tale to the cop, who tells him in a creepy voice to "put the ear piece back in." Sad/confused Jibraan does as he's told, and Tony tells him that he knew he had to try...but don't do it again! They're watching..."always watching." A sobbing/confused Jibraan accepts a helpful MetroPass from the cop and heads to the train, as we cut to break!
Five minutes later, Ho-Livia Taylor is hanging out all by herself in "Pershing Park" in the wee hours of the morning. Smart! She gets an angry phone call from daddy Agent Aaron Pierce, who is definitely NOT amused. Apparently, the Justice Department is looking into the Hodges murder since only 11 people (Olivia included) knew he was still alive. Everyone at the White House is looking for her, and she needs to turn over her phone/internet records. Aaron wants to know where the hell she is, and she tells another of her sketchy little lies that she had to run a "personal" errand, which is a SERIOUS breach of protocol. She sweet talks the visibly irritated Aaron into "covering for her" until she gets back, and promises she'll be there soon.
No sooner has she hung up, than Gay Martin creeps up on her in the park. She doesn't need to worry about getting raped, because she isn't a 22 year-old Brazilian boy. Olivia rips into him right away. She wants to know WTF happened, since she called off the hit and is freaking out about the Justice Department investigation and her phone/internet records. Martin calmy explains that the hit man went through with the hit (even though she hadn't transferred the funds) because he gave the authorization and told the hit man Olivia was "good for" the money. He reminds her about how she assured him that she would not change her mind, and looked him in the eye telling him she wanted Hodges dead! Gay Martin goes on to remind her that the time for soul searching was BEFORE she set this little plan in motion. NOW, she needs to worry about covering her ass and protecting them both via a little program he's going to send her that will erase her tracks. Before he takes off, he reminds her that failing to calm down and get this cover-up underway will result in both of them losing "everything" as well as the destruction of her Mother's administration. She agrees to do what's necessary, and Gay Martin saunters off while Ho-Livia sits on a bench for a moment and quietly freaks out.
Meanwhile, at the airport, Kim calls her little Hubby in L.A., who's having a rough night with baby Teri who "misser her mother"...aww. Kim informs him her flight has been unexpectedly (or TOTALLY expectedly in '24' world) delayed, and that she won't board for another couple of hours. Her Hubby gets all feel-good and new-agey on her...mentioning that this may be a sign from the universe that she's meant to spend more time with her dying Daddy. Kim shuts him down, after all Jack made the call to die alone and if Hubby-wubby actually KNEW her father, he'd understand that there's no convincing him otherwise. They make a little sweet talk and agree to meet at the airport. When Kim hangs up, she notices a large ethnic-looking dude dressed all in black watching her from a distance! Oh-no! She's startled enough to bump into some lady who looks exactly like a slightly older Parker Posey. Being shadowed by shady dudes, bumping into "random" strangers who probably mean her harm...Great! Kim Bauer, who's been in the season all of 10 minutes or something, is now in prime position to royally f*ck everything up again! I can't wait!

Hey, Dogsnaxx, another great recap!
I'm still hoping for a big twist, shockeroo next week, but I don't think it's gonna happen. You know, like someone totally unexpected, like Janis or Aaron, being in on the whole conspiracy? I guess I've been watching "Lost" too long.
I hope they don't keep this conspiracy under wraps until next season, but if they do, it's because they can't figure it out themselves. Hmmm, maybe Kim is behind it all?
Seriously, I am so disappointed in Ho-livia. Some villain she is! Just a garden variety loser.

Masterful recap - that's how *you* roll!
Love "firecrotch"! I wanted to bust that out earlier this season, but held back. :-)
And it was about 1 minute 18 seconds - that's bullshit that the captioning had it wrong - how hard can it be? It always pisses me off when I see captioning on somewhere and common words are completely misspelled. Poor form.
Anyway... I was hoping Jack gets cured tomorrow... If not, I wonder if Season 8 will pick up the following day (with or without a cliffhanger from this season, which would piss me right the f*ck off), instead of being months or years later as in previous years, and then end with his death? That would suck.
Kim sucks. Hard. That's all I'm going to say. She could f*ck up a wet dream, as my mother would say.
Glad to see Ethan back too - I hope Ho-livia goes down in flames, but quickly so we don't have to see too much more of her. What a waste of a character.

@Pixie
I'm wondering if that "needle in the back of Jack's neck" scene from the preview was the big "cure" thing? I guess it would stand to reason that the bad buys would have access to a "cure"...since they developed the drug. But why would they cure Jack? Think Tony's going to try and recruit him, or something? Weird.
I can't WAIT to see Ma Taylor go ballistic on Ho-Livia's ass tonight! I'm positively giddy with excitement.
@ JJ
Interesting idea for Season 8! That would be cool if they never cured him at all and Jack died at the end of the Season. However, I don't know if I could take a full 24 hour season of his twitching and sweating like a Meth addict. It's getting really annoying!
