She puffs up his ego a bit, telling him that when he's gone, the government will have a hard time going after Starkwood which will preserve the company's record of "patriotic service", which she knows is very important to Ol' Crazy Pants. He mulls it over for a moment and takes the capsule as the guards and Ho-Livia come storming in to transfer him to FBI. NOT-Patty plays fake lawyer and says her client invokes his right to silence and counsel...that nobody speaks to him without her present. Ho-Livia gives a smart little reply that "in some countries" Hodges would have been shot by now. NOT-Patty walks out and Ho-Livia gives her the stink eye as Hodges is cuffed and chained.
In the hallway NOT-Patty makes a quick call to her shadowy, balding co-conspirator to let him know that she delivered the capsule and Hodges should be taken care of, etc. Baldy asks about their buddy Tony Almeida, and NOT-Patty mentions she talked to him a short while ago, that he doesn't have the canister yet, but should have it soon. Baldy tells her that Tony is "her" guy and if he screws up it's all on her. She tells him Almeida has been the one bright spot in a day filled with screw ups and she has faith he'll come through. My Spidey sense is tingling and I think Tony and NOT-Patty are screwing.
Speaking of Tony, he gets a call from his buddy Galvez who has found an abandoned apartment building at 1297 Rincon which should be just PERFECT for their little "blow a bunch of Feds up" operation. Tony tells him that's a good location, that the Feds are 3 sectors South of him, so he's got 20 minutes to rig the place for the big kaboom! Galvez pouts and whines about how 20 minutes isn't much time, which prompts Tony to hilariously note that maybe he should get off the phone and get to work. Galvez starts pulling explosives out of his backpack while ominous music plays.
Meanwhile, in a chopper over our nation's capital, Renee is staring angrily into space while Jack looks at her with concern. He attempts a little pep talk, telling her he lost two partners in a row early in his career and how much it sucked. That's why he chose to become a lone ranger. She remains silent, so he goes on about how pretending you don't feel anything is dangerous, and leads to mistakes! It's OK to cry! Everyone cries sometimes! Renee gets pissed and tells him to shut up and not tell her what to feel or how to feel it! Is this the same chick that weeped, pouted, and slapped the shit out of Jack after Marika died because he couldn't feel anything? I'm confused. Losing a f*ck buddy was apparently traumatic enough to cause a full personality shift in Zombie Spice.
As the chopper lands, Tony glares at it like the greasy Mexican sketch-ball that he is. When Jack pops out of the chopper, Tony looks legitimately concerned that he'll be caught by the Bauer-nator. Renee wants to know where the Larry-corpse is, and Tony points the way. Jack is more interested in how Tony's doing, and he tells him he got "lucky", the bullet went right through him! Tony immediately changes the subject and mentions he "didn't think he'd see" Jack out in the field. Jack tells him he's only there for "observation."
The trio arrive at a Larry's corpse, covered with a white sheet on a stretcher. Renee looks like she's about to shit her pants, puke, and cry all at the same time. Jack reiterates that she "doesn't have to do this"...but she wants to see him, dammit! A nameless agent pulls back the sheet on poor Larry's corpse. Renee takes in the sight and then immediately walks away to stare at the side of an SUV while Jack examines the body more closely.

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!
