Intercom chick pipes in that Admiral Smith and Tim Woods are at the office to see her. She has them sent in. Tim tells him he's got Larry on the horn, and they all take the call. Larry informs her that they got a call from inside Starkwood from Almeida (who was working with Bauer)...he's turned one of Hodges inner circle who will tell them where the weapons are in exchange for immunity. The FBI is preparing to move on the compound on her say-so. She checks with Tim Woods, who is all "Go for it!" She asks Admiral Smith, and he's all "Yeah! Go For it...but send the Navy Seals along w/ the FBI!" Olivia Nay-says about how this is kinda illegal and the Attorney General will shit his pants. Ma Prez tells her they'll deal with him later. She gives the order to move on the compound, but there's the matter of the immunity agreement. Thanks to the wonders of "WebEx" they've already drafted a document and sent it to her assistant's computer and await her "secure digital signature" or whatever.
She signs the document and we catch a glimpse of Larry, Seaton, and the Prez on WebCam. They're all "Heeey!" Everyone is satisfied, and the Feds will be moving on the compound in 10 minutes. Everyone hangs up. Tim Woods is all: Wow! I think we just caught a lucky break. The Prez is all: Until this plays out, let's keep exploring other options.
Back at FBI HQ Janis sets up the webcam in the main cubicle farm area and Larry and the SWAT Team get back on cam2cam. Seaton gives them a location of a warehouse in the NorthEast quadrant of the compound where the weapons are being held. The SWAT Team leader (fired from his gig on Desperate Housewives and back in the 24 universe) tells Larry that's a super-convenient location, and he knows just the place to land! Larry tells Seaton and Almeida to head to the warehouse and they're on their way/mobilized!
As they head up, Jack (with his shirt back on) comes up and wants to know where everyone is headed?! Larry tells him about Almeida's intel and how they are moving on the compound. Jack's all: Can I go!? Larry says he understands why he wants to go, but no. Jack fights him, telling him he's the only one who's seen the canisters. Larry reminds him they got the description from the debrief, and they have everything they need. Jack's all: Pwetty Pweeze! I've earned this! As Zombie Spice looks on sadly, Larry thanks Jack for all the good work and stuff today, but that he's sick and nobody knows when he'll display symptoms...they can't have that happen in the field. Jack ruefully accepts that Larry's right. He gives a little chuckle and tells him "I always knew we'd eventually agree on something" Haha! Larry says he's sorry and takes off to join the action, while Jack walks away sadly and takes his jacket off...settling in for a nice evening of non-action at the FBI cubicle farm.
When we return, we catch a glimpse of the Feds in their choppers, while Seaton pulls up to a security gate in a hummer. The guard "Murphy" asks Greg what he's doing, and he starts to explain he needs to "check something" when Tony totally comes up behind the dude and knocks him out! Tony and Greg enter the gate and start running around. Greg points out a building that supposedly contains the weapons, and Tony asks how many men are inside. Seaton tells him it's Hodges, the munitions team, and a bunch of others.
We cut to Hodges checking in with his boy "Tommy" on timing. He tells him that wolves are at the door, and wants to know how much longer. The dude is like "still an hour away" and that they haven't done a sequence check yet. Hodges is all: "Let's do it!" Tommy heads off and Hodges looks legitimately nervous and says "Dammit!"
In the chopper, Larry is informed he's "2 minutes" out, and checks in with Tony, who tells him they are in position, there's entrances at the north and South, both with guards armed with semi-automatic weapons and that Seaton tells him there's about a dozen more inside. Larry says "copy that' and to sit tight.

Thanks for another great recap - you do such a great job of covering all the major and minor points, while adding in a heft dose of hilarity too!
I really liked last week's episode, but yeah, definitely some confusion going on. Larry's face when they got "punk'd" was priceless!
I'm still not digging O-Evil-ia (did I get that right? If I try to go back through the recaps, it logs me out of comments), she still reeks of something, and it isn't just eau de smug bitch. Taylor frustrates me. Half the time I'm cheering her on and glad that by and large she is portrayed as a pretty strong woman. The other half, mainly when she's letting herself be snowed by her bitch of a daughter, I just want to smack some sense into her.
I'm wondering if the preview of Jack displaying symptoms is a fake-out on his part to try to get the hell out of the FBI office, and into the field? Wonder what the magic cure will be too, since isn't Sutherland signed on for another season? I can't imagine one can magically revive (a la Tony) someone dead of that disease... Maybe they saved some DNA at some point along the line, and Season 8 will be Jack's clone. :-P It's been a long 10 days, and I'm slap happy. Don't mind me!

Love your recaps, Dogsnaxx!!! I picture you watching the episode in super slow motion, almost frame by frame, to find all those priceless retard-o screenshots of Zombie Spice! Totally hilarious!!!
At the beginning of this episode, when Ol-Evil-ia freaks out about the bio-weapons attack, I totally thought about about the stories she leaked to the press the week before. She told the producer to run with them on the 11 o'clock broadcast. That totally should have happened during this episode. I was expecting the STUPID BITCH to be found out!!!! Please, please, please let it happen soon!

@ jjnoza and slumrville
Thanks for the recap love, guys! I appreciate it.
Looking forward to tonight's episode, myself! I'm guessing the CDC is going to discover a miracle cure and Olivia's going to continue being a bitch! Haha...not hard to predict either of those.
