Janis gets her call put through, and we catch our first glimpse of John Brunner, who happens to be Angela Chase's dad. Apparently, he escaped to Kidron Ohio after his wife left him and his daughters both got knocked up by high school dropout pot heads. Fresh start! Janis tells him that she's tracking activity on the CIP firewall, and starts to explain what that is, and he shuts her down with an "I know what it is, Honey." Janis is a little flustered by this, because she hasn't been called "honey" since the time her cat PeneloPee coughed up a hair ball and it totally sounded like "Huuuneeeeeegh." She tells him about the breach and asks if he's having any problems. As a matter of fact, he is! Three safety valves on this primary tank are failing. Agent Gold wants to know what is in the tank and he matter of factly tells her it's methyl isocyanate which is a highly toxic insecticide! Oh No! He demands to know what the hell is going on, and Janis informs him that the FBI has reason to believe his plant is under terrorist attack. That gets his attention! He attempts to shut down the tank, but is informed by his staff that the system isn't responding and the pressure in the tank is rising! Janis wants to know what's up, and he tells her that if they can't reverse the pressure in the tank, they are looking at catastrophic atmospheric release, which is just a nice way of saying the Town of Kidron is totally f*cked! The current economic climate and jobless rates aside, a cloud of harmful gas will totally disrupt their annual tractor pull! Janis barks at Sean to get Larry and let him know the President needs to be informed of what is going on, she then tells Brunner that he needs to begin evacuating right now...and we cut to break!
Five minutes later, Ethan Kanin is finishing up a phone call with Larry Moss when Tim Woods from Homeland Security comes into his office to inform him of the breach at the chemical plant. Ethan already knows, having heard it all from Larry. They set off to brief the President, but on the way, Tim brings up the First Hubby and reiterates they need him to help convince the president to withdraw from Sangala, as it's the only way to stop the attack. Ethan tells Woods he still doesn't know where the First Hubby is, but they are working on it.
In the Oval Office, President Taylor is discussing a statement about the attacks that is about to be released. Her pansy-pants PR lady thinks the use of the word "outrage" might be a bit much if the President is trying to convey an air of calm authority. President Taylor sets that lady straight telling her that outrage is the only appropriate word and that everyone in the country should feel the same way and demand that honesty. However, she concedes that "We're gonna rape General Juma in the ass!" is probably a bit much, and the PR lady can totally change that one if she wants. Kanin and Woods are escorted in, and Angela the PR grunt is excused. They inform the president of the location of the next attack and how the release of the toxic cloud will take out approximately half of the Kidron population in about 15 minutes. She let's out a silent little prayer of "Oh, Dear Lord!"...but her tone of voice is that of an alcoholic who just discovered there is no open bar in Heaven. They inform her that their only chance of stopping the attack is recovering both Dubaku and the CIP device.
Hey...speaking of the "only chance" thing, we cut away to Jack in the "crawlspace" over Dubaku's Baddie Disco. As Jack and Renee enter the air vent over the room, Chloe explains the stakes and informs them of the attack on the Kidron plant. Jack just says "Copy that" and proceeds. Jack and Renee place a scope through the vent, but can't see anything in the poorly lit disco bunker. They switch to night vision and quickly get the lay of the Baddie Land. They make out three armed guards, Nichols, and then Dubaku. Chloe confirms the equipment in the room looks sufficient to power the CIP device.
Back at FBI HQ, D-Bag informs larry that NSA is working on closing the breach, but not having any luck.
