Over in the bunker, Tom Lennox also hangs up his phone, which really makes it look like he was chatting it up with Gredenko. Oh, editors. How you slay me! He tells Daniels what Bill told him about losing the droooone they were tracking, and he actually just sounds really annoyed about the whole thing. Tom would love to run home and catch a quick nap right about now, maybe watch a little Grey's and eat a pint of ice cream. Ah, what he wouldn't give for the carefree days of droneless skies. Daniels is quite perturbed to hear about the drooone, and orders Lisa to call a meeting with the Joint Chiefs. I'm hoping she blows into a conch shell and yells "JOINT CHIEFS! ASSEMBLE!" but Tom keeps whining, so she doesn't get a chance. Daniels reiterates that he can't wait to blow the shit out of Iraqistan, and now is the time, dammit! Tom brings up the pesky fact that they have no evidence of the country supporting the terrorists, but Daniels is adamant. If the terrorists successfully detonate another nuclear bomb, the U.S. is going to respond...IN KIND!
"Heather Mills? You're kidding! She doesn't have a leg!"
Based on the speed of the droooone, Chloe eliminates Los Angeles as a target. For once. But the list of possibilities still contains fifteen cities, the most populous of which are San Francisco, Las Vegas, and Phoenix. So yeah. There's that. Bill looks up ominously to see Jack arriving, sans suit jacket but with tie. Sexy. He's got that sniffy face on that always precedes terrible news. Bill tells him that Gredenko escaped, but not before launching a drone. Poor Jack must want to yell "But I STORMED the CONSULATE!" It must not be easy to be constantly surrounded by people who are a zillion times less awesome than you. Bill fills him in, then tells him to get to medical. Because apparently Bill wants to see Jack DEAD.
On the way to his DEATH, Jack catches Marilyn just chilling in a side room. Maybe she's watching Wheel of Fortune? We just don't know. Also, how did she get there? Last we saw her she was crying in some hotel room. Girl sure gets around. Sexually. She chooses this totally opportune time to express regret for things not working out between them. You know. Sexually. She goes to kiss him and Jack SHUNS her. He lovingly speaks of his love for the lovely Audrey. I nod with approval. But...Marilyn seems conflicted. What's going on? She tells him that Audrey is...dead! BWAA? Apparently she died in a car accident in China. So I guess we're referring to The Nine as an accident, now? Seems appropriate enough.
DENIED
Jack, confused and heartbroken and really rocking the "MY LIFE IS SO HARD" face, storms out of the room and over to Chloe. She's on the phone, so Jack hangs it up. Hehe, awesome. He demands to know why she never told him. Chloe immediately recognizes this as an awkward social interaction and gives him a robotic answer - that Bill didn't want to tell him. You know, because he was only brought back to this country to be killed immediately upon arrival. Damn. HIS LIFE IS SO HARD. Chloe tells him that Audrey was the one who figured out he had been taken by the Chinese, and that she spent the year before she died trying to get him out. Jack demands/growls that he wants to see her file. NOW! Ehh, I'm not really buying that she's dead. This is too big a Revelation to drop on us without taking a commercial break immediately after. And there isn't one. Therefore, Audrey = alive.
"But death cannot stop true love! Westley says so!"
Over in the bunker, Lisa lists for Daniels the people who will be attending the meeting, and that list contains Karen Hayes. This displeases him. Out in the hall, Karen greets Tom with: "Hello, Tom. Did someone push you down the stairs?" His response: "No Karen, I tripped over your ineptitude." WHAT? Did someone say Presidential Panic Bunker COMEDY HOUR? WE GOT A HOT ONE TONIGHT! Oh man, I'm still laughing. Okay. Karen gets down to business, telling Tom that they both need to focus and forget about everything that already happened. She goes to leave and he stops her, and I'm almost certain he's going to bust out with something like "Don't let the door of ineptitude hit you on the way out!" but instead says something about the president. Something that's not as funny.

Great recap! I thought this episode was pretty good. I loved "check your breath" kiss - haha! Are we really supposed to believe that Chloe and Morris were ever married?!
As for the Nadia situation...I think Milo may be involved. It's a little weird how she was using his access codes, but on her computer and then she got caught for suspicious activity…but then they didn’t notice she was using Milo’s info...I don't know - I think something is up there.
Also, right on about the Presidential doctor being is such a rush, not able to talk to Karen. I was thinking the same thing…what was he doing - making his rounds?! Missing final jeopardy??…come on!!
Keep up the GREAT work!!

This recap had me weak! I loved the Anchorman reference. And I too thought the same thing about the drone- Awwwwwww. But the best part of the show was the ineptitude slam. No one can accuse you of ineptitude Screampillar - you're freakin awesome. Keep up the good work!
