It's 2PM in Washington DC and, as with every other episode in recent memory, we open in the FBI's Washington HQ. Big Daddy Larry Moss is being updated on the progress his staff is making on tracking down the Matobos and CIP module. You know, the stuff that Bauer and Co's little renegade group already tracked down a couple of weeks ago? This week, the FBI seems to have extracted it's head out of it's rectum enough to make some progress! Agent D-Bag informs Daddy Moss that they have a sighting of the van used in the Matobo abduction near Northwood Airfield. Larry doesn't know the van has already delivered the Matobos to Dubaku, so he gives ol' D-Bag a little verbal pat on the head, pulls him off the Lindbergh Baby case, and tells him to follow up on the van lead.

Janis, who has been listening quietly in the wings and waiting for an opportunity to one-up D-Bag with some actual productive/useful sleuthing, comes up to inform Big Daddy that she has a lead of her own. Apparantly, she's used her Chloe-rivaling tech skills to track down a "Code fragment" used during the CIP breach which might be a good way to detect future hits on the system. She also passive-aggressively asks that Sean be assigned to help her out following up on this lead. Sean shoots her a petulant look, but Big Daddy takes her side and assigns D-Bag to be her personal bitch until they save the world or the lead proves useless, whichever comes first. It's pretty obvious Janis is Daddy's new pet. But then again, D-Bag is such a colossal D-Bag and Agent Smurfette is just so damn cool...who could blame Moss for a little favoritism?

Sean has to ruin Janis's moment by immediately wondering aloud if Larry is fit to lead in the wake of Zombie Renee's demise. Afterall, it's been established ad nauseum that Larry Luuuuuurrves him some Renee. Janis shuts him up with her a nice dose of casual awesome-ness...telling him she'll let him know if and when she thinks Larry can't do his job. in the meantime, please go open up a "fresh socket." I'm pretty sure she isn't referring to Agent DeadSlut, since she would more accurately be described as an "over-used socket." Janis punctuates her point by physically pushing his wheelie chair away while he makes pouty faces.

In the White House, Ethan Kanin is attempting to reach Lil' Psycho Secret Service Buddy Gedge to get an update on First Hubby's whereabouts. Unfortunately, Lil' Buddy can't answer the phone right now, because he's deader'n a doornail after being snuffed out by First Hubby. The two of them are lying in a spent heap on Samantha's floor while the phone rings unanswered between them. Kanin is clearly annoyed and leaves an angry voicemail for Agent Gedge. He expected to hear back by now, and wants to stress it is extremely important he speak to the First Hubby. Before he can really light into the pretty boy, he is interrupted by another call on his office phone. It's Larry Moss on the horn calling to update Kanin on the "progress" the FBI gang is making with the search for Matobo's van. He is unable to provide a time frame for when this lead will pay off, which prompts Kanin to take his Gedge frustration out on Larry, telling him his best efforts aren't "good enough" and asking if Larry knows what is at stake. Larry takes the opportunity to play the "Hey, my girlfriend agent just gave her life for this mission...you don't need to tell me what's at stake" card, which prompts Kanin to apologize somewhat unsincerely. After the conversation ends, Larry stares off into space forlornly and reminisces about his days cleaning ginger hairs out of his shower drain.

Awww...Look on the bright side Larry! You're gonna save a small fortune on Drano!
