Meanwhile, back on the roof of FBI HQ, Renee is boarding the chopper to head to the action. But wait! The door on the other side of the chopper opens and Jack pops in. Renee, of course, wants to know what the heck he's doing, and Jack tells her he's going with her. She tells him he's ill and it's probably not a good idea. He puts his fingers in his ears, sings 'LA LA LA' at the top of his lungs, and tells her he promises to be a good boy and stand down if he gets in the way. But, he refuses to argue with it and waste more time. He's going! Renee kinda rolls her eyes and passively agrees. As the chopper takes flight, we cut to break!

Five minutes later. Evil NOT-Patty arrives at the White House security check in for her little meeting with Hodges. The guards are all polite and call her "Ms. Eames", saying "Good Morning" and noting she's Hodges' attorney. They ask her to press her thumb against the sensor and review her paper-work. There's a moment of tension, while the sensors check her thumb-print and review her IDs, but it winds up checking out and they waive her through security. Evil NOT-Patty seems pleased by this.

Meanwhile, upstairs, Ho-Livia and Ma Taylor are touching base while walking purposefully through a hallway. Ma wants to know how the hell this dude got away with the bio-weapon, and Ho-Livia has no clue. But the dude is definitely BAAAD and has already killed 4 agents, including Larry Moss. Prez Taylor looks super stunned/saddened by the loss of Larry Moss. Ho-Livia mentions Galvez was a Starkwood operative, so Jonas Hodges is clearly behind all of this. Ma Taylor mutters a cryptic "maybe", so Olivia asks what THAT'S all about?

When they reach the privacy of the Oval Office, Ma Taylor fills Ho-Livia in on Hodges' assertion that he was a small cog in a big machine and there are other people involved. Ho-Livia tells her Mama that Hodges is a crazy old sociopath/lunatic and he was probably just "ranting" and looking for some kind of deal. Ma Taylor notes that may be the case, but she wants Hodges transferred to FBI for interrogation anyway.

Down in the holding cells, NOT-Patty is led in to see Ol' Crazy Pants who is sleeping uncomfortably on a cot with no mattress. Crazy Pants immediately recognizes that NOT-Patty is not Patty. She dismisses the guard for "privacy", and Hodges notes that she's "taller" than "her", but he won't ask how the hell she got in. Hodges knows this chick! He wants to know what the plan is for getting him the heck out of there. NOT-Patty tells Crazy Pants his actions have put "everyone" in a difficult position. He smugly notes he's "upset the cart", and NOT-Patty tells him that the bio-weapon he developed for "them" was never meant for personal use. Jonas goes into his rah-rah Starkwood routine about how the Feds were trying to take his company away. NOT-Patty tells him that the company would have been protected, but the vast conspiracy folks think he had some kind of psychotic break and went off the reservation.

Hodges demands to open some kind of channel of communication to these shadowy conspirators, and NOT-Patty tells him it's too late for that. He's already showed his hand and risks exposing all the others. Hodges notes that he doesn't know who the "others" are, but she tells him it's too late for all that...he knows enough. She elaborates about the risk to his "family", and he wonders aloud if she's there to threaten him and his family. She cooly tells him she's there to help him protect his family while passing him a little red capsule through the bars. All he needs to do is swallow said capsule which will induce cardiac arrest and leave no trace in his system, kill himself, save his family, and protect the "others". Suicide never sounded so simple!
