2.12 Selfless. So surely that episode title is not a pun of any kind, right? Nah. So anyway, you'll recall that last week's Mission: Implausible went just swimmingly, with Michael dragging his hypothalamic hamartoma right into the Company's Holy of Holies, standing face to face with the Ionic Air Purifier/Sharper Image surround-sound speaker known as Scylla. General Baldy catches him in the act and summons his minions, and wow, I bet that's an awkward elevator ride, huh? Also, I ask again, wtf with David Baker? We're just letting that whole thing drop, I guess? Anyway, so the elevator dings behind Michael, and Baldy steps dramatically through the elevator doors all "Muahaha, I caught you, you silly genius!" and Michael just sort of idly looks up like, "oh, hey, I'm kind of in the middle of something here, can you come back later?" Baldy does have two heavily armed thugs, but of course Michael has two things Baldy didn't count on: a) THREE armed minions of his own, and b) all six cards needed to access Syclla. See, when they got here they only had those five, but then all Michael had to do was turn on the little camera and the General brought the sixth one right to them! Heh. Wah wah waahhh! (wacky trumpet sound) I hope they don't take out all that smartypants when they take out that tumor.

Booberella and Self are still tied up in the "safe"house/trap Gretchen set up for them with Feng. And I'm not sure how much of this is a distraction and how much of it is genuine, but Booberella just starts sobbing that Self is the worst partner she's ever had, leaving her with that one-handed freak and crazy bitch and then leading her here, and by the way, she tells Feng, the people Gretchen and T-Bag are planning on stealing Scylla from? They have their own plan to keep them from getting it! She's got Feng's attention now, and Self has him distracted enough to sneak a key out of his pocket and uncuff himself. A short, sweet gunfight ensues resulting in a bunch of dead Chinese gangsters, including Feng, who is shot down by Booberella before he can kill Self. Self seems strangely annoyed at this, all "Meh! We needed him!" but Booberella is like, he was about to shoot you, asshole! You're welcome! He tells her to go take care of Bagwell and Gretchen while he handles this mess.

And speaking of the one-handed freak and the crazy bitch, they're still just sitting around Cole's office with a poorly concealed duffel bag of automatic weapons, waiting to jump on Michael et al when they emerge and steal Scylla. T-Bag is getting antsy, and he gets antsier when Mr. White decides to come in and introduce himself to Cole's lovely guest who's been loitering around suspiciously often lately. "Susan Anthony" is charmed to meet Mr. White, but for some reason she and T-Bag haven't rehearsed a cover story and it becomes apparent that something is decidedly fishy. By the time he leaves, Gretchen knows he suspects something and it's time for drastic measures. T-Bag is charmingly reluctant to resort to violence but has no choice but to follow once Gretchen marches out with a huge assault rifle and herds all the employees into Mr. White's office. He plays along with the "nobody's gonna get hurt" hostage talk, but is hilariously, visibly annoyed with Gretchen as he grudgingly locks Gate's front doors. "Now what??" he screeches, rolling his eyes and literally throwing his hands up in the air. Heh.

Probably a little too late to change your mind about that cruise, huh?
