When she hangs up, Janis says "Larry?" softly...and Renee informs her that Big Daddy is dead. Janis mutters an "Oh, God" but doesn't have time to grieve as Renee starts barking orders with a tear running down her cheek. She tells Janis to get a chopper team ready, have Dr. Macer and the CDC crew assemble a team to check for germies, and bring the White House up to speed. Janis tells Renee she's "so sorry", but Renee brushes off this comment and mentions that someone needs to notify Larry's ex-wife and that it "probably" shouldn't be her. Haha. Janis assures Renee that she'll take care of everything as Zombie Spice and her home-wrecking rack saunter off to grieve.
In another room, Jack is having a hard time pouring himself a glass of water because of the whole shakey-hands stuff associated with his bio-infection or whatever. He's in a conference room with some dude giving his statement about the events of the day. The dude notes they've covered 8am till 3pm, leading up to the capture of Dubaku and stuff. Now it's time to move on to the attack on the White House. Jack declines a break first, since he's not sure when his brain will be completely fried. The dude asks questions about Tony's intel about the second attack. Jack mentions it came from "interrogating" some mercenary. The Agent asks if Jack remember the name, and he miraculously does! It's Vincent Cardiff! That's amazing, since Jack is totally compromised right now due to infection, and I seem to recall that Tony never gave a name. Or maybe he did? The FBI should go through my old recaps and find out.
Anyhoo...the statement taker asks Jack if he ever personally got a chance to talk to this Cardiff dude, and Jack mentions that he never met him as he didn't survive Tony's interrogation. Jack starts mumbling stuff about not knowing the White House was the target and repeating himself. The Agent Dude looks at him with pity/concern and asks if he's SURE he doesn't want to take a little break. Jack is embarrassed, but they are interrupted by some other nameless agent who comes in with something or other the interrogator needed. Jack notices all the agents in the hallway decked out in flack gear and bullet proof armor and decides to find out WTF is going on!
Jack finds Renee briefing a small army before they move out, and asks her Whassup?! She brings him up to date: Pathogen still out there, but contained. Larry Dead. Tony injured. She's all professional and direct about it. Jack is like Say WHA?! Larry's Dead! She tells him yes and that she's on the way to go there in person before blowing him off/storming away. Jack freaks out and runs down the hall in the opposite direction.
Back at the scene of the crime, an EMT is tending to Tony. He tries to get Tony to a hospital, which he declines because he still needs to get his little buddy and the germies back. The EMT then offers some painkillers, which Tony declines because he needs to "keep his head clear." He blows off the EMT and gets all up in Agent Park's business...listening in on the search/updates. Tony pretends to be interested in finding the dude, and Park blows him off/tells him they are working on it, and that he should go get some rest.
Tony stalks away and brazenly picks up his cell phone to call Galvez. Genius that he is, he's already got it all figured out from a little light observation. Based on the Feds "North/South" sweep, they won't be reaching Galvez area for another 30 minutes, which should give him "time." Galvez is all: "Time for what?!" Tony tells him to find a location...a building of some kind. Then, draw the feds in and blow the shit out of it with his C-4! Easy-Peasy! Galvez incredulously inquires if Tony really means to imply he should blow up a couple dozen Feds, and bad-ass Tony is all: yeah...you got a problem with that?! Holy crap! Galvez notes that there's still the little issue of getting him out of there with the canister after he blows the Feds to smithereens. Tony tells him not to worry his pretty little head, he's got that all worked out.

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!
