Testimonials

Another nay-sayer, this time a lawyer type (The Attorney General?) tells them that all the courses of action are a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act! In other word, they can't engage military personnel in a law-enforcement capacity without congressional approval (Thank you, Wikipedia)!

The Prez and Olivia look on with Pissy Pants faces, and the Prez finally chimes in and says "What I'm hearing is that there are no good options." Until they contain the threat, they are risking another attack on the country, and that's an option she won't consider! Yay Prez! Olivia looks impressed, too.

Back at Starkwood, Stokes comes in to Almeida's holding room to give him one last chance to fess up and walk. Tony, of course, is silent. Stokes tells him that "for the record, I bet Mr. Hodges a pair of Redskins tickets that you wouldn't talk...looks like I'm going to be sitting at the 50 yard line" and raises his gun! But wait! There's a gunshot, and it appears to be Seaton in the doorway, who shot Stokes in the back! Tony's all: What the hell is going on?! Seaton's all: This has gone too far! He tells Tony that he doesn't want to spend the rest of his life in prison because Hodges lost his mind. Tony asks if he knows where the weapons are, and Seaton assures him he does, but wants a guarantee of immunity before he cooperates. Tony can't promise anything, so they decide to head to Seaton's office to hash it out with the FBI on a secure land line.

Across town, in a CDC van, Dr. Macer tells Jack they're nearing the FBI and he'll have to be put into an isolation suit and then transferred. Jack says he understands, and she asks how he's feeling. Jack says he doesn't feel anything yet. Just then, some other Doc delivers the results of "Mr. Bauer's blood work". Macer reviews the results as Jack looks on helplessly. She looks up from the tests and tells the gang to "open" Jack's quarantine cage. Yay! Uninfected!? She hands Jack his results, he half laughs, half shakes his head, and thanks her before we head to break. Good news?!

When we return, Renee is heading to her desk when Plum Puddin' Janis comes up and tells her Jack arrived! Renee tells Janis that she'll go down to quarantine to meet Jack, and Janis is all: He's not in quarantine! Renee and the entire viewing audience are totally confused by this. Renee is a little more hopeful than we are!

Renee rushes to the elevator and greets Jack, asking if he's OK. He tells her his bloodwork came back positive, that he's infected. But it's OK...before being led away. Zombie Spice is super confused! As am I! The Doc tells her that he's infected, but not in quarantine because the disease isn't contagious. It was designed that way to keep the people deploying it from being infected. The Doc goes on to call Jack "Patient Zero" and tells Renee they need to learn everything they can from him to help other victims. As the Doc heads off to take a call, Renee cries again and freaks out.

Jack is changing in the FBI nurses station when Renee knocks on the door. He tells her to come on in, and she's immediately freaked out by his scars. He gets body consciousness issues again, and apologizes. She just looks on in horror as if he has a third nipple, or something. Jack changes the subject and asks about Starkwood/Tony...unfortunately, Renee doesn't know much. She tells him she needs to debrief him on the canisters he saw, if that's cool with him? He's all: OK! She mentions she read the statement from the Port Authority cop, and how Jack totally risked the mission to save his ass...and she's impressed. She tells him he did the right thing, and he says thanks, before she leaves him sitting there alone in the dark nurse's office. Apparently, she's totally over the Marika debacle and the slap-fest that ensued at the hospital.
