A few minutes later, back at the White House, Ho-Livia returns from her "outing" to Pershing Park. (No Gay Martin pun intended). She's greeted by an angry Aaron, who is NOT down with the "personal errands" and general sketchiness surrounding Lil' First Daughter. He all but tenders his resignation, telling her he's done with all of her BS. Olivia switches into teary/manipulative mode and spins a merry tale about being overwhelmed by the day's events and feeling overwhelmed by trying to live up to her Mother's expectations. She tells him she simply had to get away to clear her head, and implores him to understand. Aaron backs down a little and lets the little self-satisfied-manipulative be-yotch back into her office.
To his credit, Aaron immediately phones Ethan Kanin (Hey Ethan!) who is chilling at home, wide-awake, and reading the paper. Aaron asks Kanin about the swanky-spanky-super-secret-voice-activated recording system in the Chief of Staff's office, and whether it's still operational. Kanin confirms that it is, but bio-metrically locked and only accessed via Kanin's thumb-print. Ethan wonders aloud if this has anything to do with dirty little Ho-Livia, who is using his office. Aaron won't spill anything over the phone, so Ethan tells him he's high-tailing it to the White House! Uh-Oh! Ho-Livia's in trouble!
Back at FBI HQ, Chloe and Janis are hacking away. Plum Puddin' is all smugly-self-satisfied and wants to know if Chloe would like to take the opportunity to congratulate her on a job well done reconstructing the mini computer and saving the day. Chloe awesomely tells her "Oh, you don't know me...but if you did, you'd know this is the last place you should look for validation." Haha! Janis explodes at Chloe and wants her to admit she was wrong! Chloe just smiles at her computer as she tracks down an image of NOT-Patty.
Back in Adam's Morgan, Jack and Jibraan review the image of NOT-Patty. After confirming she's the chick from his apartment and train (although with a different wig each time) Jack lets Jibraan reunite with his little bro and Imam. While Jack looks on and smiles, they all hug and embrace...reunited in their hatred of pork and Jews.
In the airport, Long-haired hubby returns with the coffees, and sends a not-so-subtle message to his fake wife that he had to go through all kinds of shit to get her a "decaf"...but he "got it". Translation: I killed the Fed! She smiles and thanks him, while they focus a web-cam on an unsuspecting Kim.
Instantly, Jack's phone rings and NOT-Patty tells him to open the "link" she's sending him. He does as he's told and is treated to the web cam footage of an unsuspecting Kim chilling in the airport terminal. Jack wants to know WTF is up, and NOT-Patty tells him Agent Franks (the ethnic dude) is dead and Kim is in the hands of her operatives. All Jack needs to do is free a heavily guarded Tony, or Kim gets got! Easy Peasy!
Jack takes the bait, because that's how HE roll!

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!
