Back at Starkwood, Tony and Seaton are sneaking around through the compound. They make it to Seaton's office, and no sooner have they shut the door than Seaton gets a call from "the lab". He hypothesizes that it's Hodges on the horn, and Tony tells him to take the call on Speaker. Hodges is all: "Where ya been, buddy? I've been trying to reach you." Seaton is all: "Oh, that...I was checking on Almeida". Hodges wants to know if Tony spilled the beans yet, and Seaton tells him that Stokes is still "working on it". Hodges is all: That's funny, I told Stokes to kill his ass if he didn't talk. Seaton tells Hodges they should give Stokes a few more minutes. Hodges is all, Okie Dokie! But the two of you need to get here soon. We need all hands on deck.

When Seaton hangs up, Tony tells him to call the FBI with the quickness! Seaton has to set up a secure land-line first. While he gets to work on that, he starts chewing the fat with Tony about how he's confused by Hodges and his motives. The man used to be a patriot, dammit! He set up the company to protect the country. Tony's all, well then why is he attacking it? Seaton's all: It's complicated, I'm not sure I understand it myself.

Back at FBI HQ, Janis is updating Larry on the Starkwood compound. She's got the company roster, a report on the facility, even topography maps! Larry thanks her for the good work, and tells her to share the info w/ all the agencies.

Just then, Renee comes walking by and Larry walks over to her to offer his condolences on the Jack being infected business. He asks how Bauer is doing, and she tells him so far, so good...no symptoms. Oh yeah, and she finished debriefing him on the canisters and has a handy description all booted up on her palm pilot for him. He tells her to share that w/ the inter-agency gossip tree, or whatever.

Janis butts back in. She's got Tony Almeida on the horn from inside Starkwood! They're all: WTF?! They take the call, and Tony tells them about Hodges and how he's with a guy named Seaton who wants to help out, but needs immunity first. Larry asks what Seaton has to offer, and Tony tells them he knows where the weapons are on the compound. By-the-books Larry thinks it all sounds like a good idea, but he needs to run it by the Prez first. Before he can hang up, Tony asks what's up w/ his boyfriend Jack, and Larry tells him he's there at FBI HQ in medical. Tony wonders aloud if Jack was "hit", and Larry tells him about the breached canister and Jack being infected. Tony looks super sad to hear this and stares forlornly into space. Larry tells him he's gotta talk to the White House, and he'll be in touch shortly. He orders Janis to get the White House on the horn as we cut to break.

When we return, Madame Prez is watching in horror footage from Sangala of the effects of the bioweapons. Olivia comes in and wants to know what horror film she got from Netflix NOW?! Madame Prez tells her it's footage smuggled out of Sangala, confirming the experiments with bioweapons and that the people on the tape are suffering the effects of the prion variant they allowed into the country. Olivia looks legitimately horrified, and says "we didn't allow this." Madame Prez rants about Starkwood, and how the government gave them billions of dollars in contracts, outsourced intelligence gathering and mercenary labor, etc...by golly, they even allowed them to build a military base 13 miles outside the Nations Capital! Olivia is all...whoa, mama! Beat yourself up much? You FOUGHT against all of that! Madame Prez sadly informs her daughter that, apparently, she didn't do enough, and now it may be too late.
