Hey Gasmii! Sorry I'm a little late with the recap this week. The good news is, I landed a new full-time office gig (recession be damned!) The bad news is that the recaps might be a little late for the rest of the season. It's too bad, because if this week is any indication...there's some super shadiness that has yet to reveal itself.
Follow me as I recap Hour 19...after the JUMP!
It's 2AM in some chick's house that we've never seen before. She's heading down the stairs, apparently finishing getting her nattiest business suit on at 2AM. Some dude named Matt, who calls her Patricia over the phone, tells her she's gotta get her butt to the White House. It seems this Patty chick is Jonas Hodges' very favorite lawyer, and he needs to see her because he's been arrested. Patty is "flattered" he asked for her, but also doesn't seem all that thrilled about having to go take care of Ol' Crazy Pants at 2AM. She asks Matt WTF is up with the "getting arrested" thing, but details are scant...just that Hodges was in a "policy" meeting with the Prez and things got out of hand.
Patty tosses on a pair of smart-looking glasses, checks herself in the mirror, and opens the front door to head to the White House. But wait! Some dude holding a surgical mask over his face is standing there and sprays some sleepy-time stuff in her face! As Patty looks on in horror, the dude and a freakishly similar looking blonde chick come strolling into the house. While the dude injects poor Patty with something between her fingers, the dopple-blonder steals her ID and jewelry and is wearing the EXACT same suit, which is quite a coincidence. Patty must be one of those predictable women who has no time for things like "fashion" and dresses predictably. Anhoo...the Baddie dude copies Patty's thumbprint with a swanky-spanky thumbprint copying machine and the Baddie chick steals Patty's glasses. As the Baddie chick chekcs herself in Patty's mirror, the dude presents the thumbprint machine thingy and she presses her thumb on it. We know she now has Patty's thumb print, because when she removes her thumb, it GLOWS for a second. Ooooh.
At FBI HQ, Zombie Spice Renee comes running up to Plum Puddin' Janis waving some paperwork. Turns out security cameras on the compound caught some footage of Tony Almeida's little co-conspirator. His name is Robert Galvez, and he's a two-year Starkwood employee with a Special Forces background. Also, he looks mean as hell in his Starkwood employee paperwork! Renee tells Janis to let Larry know what's up, but Larry's not answering his comm. device because he's dead dead dead. They note that the Feds are sweeping in and should be there any second. Some dude named Agent Park has cordoned off a 4 block radius, so the bio-weapons ain't going nowhere!
As Renee and Janis start the process of uploading Galvez' image to all agents' PDAs and sending out an alert, we see Tony listening in and staring down and Larry's dead body. While Janis talks about Galvez' Special Forces training, as well as him being armed and dangerous and stuff, Tony picks up a gun, loads a cartridge, and frickin' shoots himself in the side! Way to cover your ass, Almeida! But I can't help thinking using Larry's gun to do it will come back to bite you in the ass!

First, congratulations on your new job! Second, your recaps are worth the wait!
Awesome recap this week! Page 3 in particular had me dying. The FBI going through your recaps, paired with the screenshot just below it - LOL! And you aren't the only one re: Cardiff's name. When Jack gave the name, the first thing I thought was I didn't remember the name being given before.
EC with the brains was great too!
And about the eyebrows changing color - very easy with eyebrow pencil! :-P
Still can't figure out where this is going. I'm assuming Tony's in it purely for the money? I hope they wrap it up well - I'd still like to know why Tony took things as far as he did with Bill, Jack and the FBI. Although I suppose greed/money could explain all that.

@ JJNoza
Thanks! I'm excited about the new gig, but it's been over a year since I've worked full time. Here's hoping I remember how!
I think Tony is in it for the money and also there's the issue of him being involved with Evil Red Head Chick. She might've gotten him into this.
@ Everyone
Just noticed a couple of errors I didn't catch before I posted! In the image caption of Mizelli on page three, it should read "Any idea HOW LONG it'll take me..."
In the O face caption of Jack towards the end...it should be RESEMBLES not REMEMBERS. Oops! I'm sure there's other errors. AlanHK, I'm sure you could find some. ;-)

At first that job is gonna slam you--it takes awhile to adjust to working full-time again. I've been working 50-60 hours since early March, but in a few weeks I'll be unemployed, since it is seasonal work.
I absolutely love your screen caps and captions. For some reason, the one with the guy scowling in his employee i.d. photo just cracked me up.
Damned if I know what's going on. Y'all know that what Jack has--Kreutzfeldt-Jacob disease--is the human form of Mad Cow Disease, don't you? Yep, Jack has Mad Cow Disease.

Haha...I know exactly what you mean. I was smiling today, so far so good. It helps that I really dig the new company/position.
Mad Cow...whatever...I'm just sick and tired of the wincing/seizing/drooling...just cure the dude already! The episode airs shortly on the East Coast...looking forward to it!
