He checks in with Renee, who tells him the Starkwood control tower wants to know WTF is going on?! Larry talks to the dude in the Starkwood tower and informs him of the executive order from the Prez to search one of their buildings, which his sends to the guard's computer (via WebEx?) Larry tells the guard that they must not interfere or they will be arrested. He asks to know if the guard understands, and he says "Understood, FBI" Haha.
The choppers fly over the compound...Tony and Seaton look up at them. Hodges hears the choppers and looks up with a pissy pants/funny look on his face.
Some of the choppers land, and others hover while dudes in military garb repel down ropes. Tense music!
They meet up with Tony and Seaton, and start moving on the warehouse!
As Renee, Janis, and Jack watch from FBI HQ, they storm the warehouse and order the guards at the door to STAND DOWN! Tense music!
Larry bends over, makes a grumbly-growly face, and they blow the door to the warehouse door!
"That's the Larry Moss Chicken Vindaloo Special! Take that, Starkwood!"
When they enter the warehouse it's totally empty! Larry turns to Seaton and demands to know where the weapons are. Seaton says he doesn't know, and that Almeida was threatening to kill him, so he told him whatever he wanted to hear! Haha. Tony gets super pissed and grabs Seaton, calling him a "sonofabitch!"
Tony screams a lot at Seaton, who tells the Feds to get the crazy man off of him, please! Larry orders Tony to stand down, and Seaton looks on with a gleeful/evil expression. Tony tells Larry that Seaton "played" him. Tony = Punk'd!
In another section of the compound, we see Hodges watching the whole thing on a monitor, and telling some nameless dude that "little old Seaton" bought them some time!
Split screen action! Everyone looks tense!
Larry calls in to Renee and tells her the warehouse is empty, that Seaton sent them to the wrong location...she totally encourages him to keep looking, the weapons have to be there somewhere! Larry orders his gang outside.
When they get outside, Larry starts rallying the troops and tells them they are going to do a point by point search of the entire compound! We cut to Jack at FBI HQ who says "good!"
Before Larry can finish the orders, a whole mess of Starkwood baddies in hummers swarm them! Larry tells his men to hold their fire! Jack reiterates the same from HQ, and Renee's all: "What!? They drew on Federal Officers!"
Frickin' Stokes climbs out of one of the hummers, which prompts a hilarious stink-eye session between Tony and Seaton. Tony...still Punk'd!
Stokes tells Larry and crew to get the heck out of there, that they searched their building and that's it! Larry's all, there are weapons of mass destruction here, and we aren't leaving until we find them! Stokes is all...those are absurd charges brought by a government trying to shut down a harmless capitalist operation. He goes on to say that he doesn't want any bloodshed, but if they don't get lost now, they WILL be fired upon!
Mexican Standoff! (No offense to Tony Almeida, of course)
Ba-Bum-Ba-Bum-Ba-Bum-Ba-Bum!
There you have it Gasmii! It was an interesting episode, to say the least. I'm confused by Olivia's story line still. Also, how ludicrous was the whole Punk'd thing? Not to mention the whole "everyone is BFF now" at the FBI?
Let's see what happens next week!

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.
