And between the wincing and the conferring, and the like, Jack is able to talk to his old pal from the Lockdown Hours, President Taylor. He briefs her on the developments, and now she is prepared to launch an air strike on Starkwood as soon as they have the exact location of the canisters. Allison takes a moment to tell Jack that she’s concerned about his health, appreciates his sacrifices, and that she hasn’t given up on him yet.
Darling little Olivia, who maneuvered her way into the title of Interim Chief of Staff with all the grace of a cross between Eva Braun and Cleopatra, receives a phone call from her reporter “friend” Ken. He promptly begins to blackmail her into giving him the scoop regarding the convening of the Joint Chiefs. He also drops the tidbit that some little bird told him about WMDs at the Port Authority. Olivia agrees to meet Ken at a nearby hotel, and summons Aaron Pierce to accompany her.
Still searching for those WMD’ are Tony and now Doug Knowles who wants to end the corrupt evil doings of Starkwood. They come to a secure entrance and Knowles finds that his key card does not work. Tony is carrying a clone type device that will work, once they crack the pass-code back at FBI. Amazingly, with Chloe no where in sight, Janis breaks the code, acquires the five digits needed and Tony is in. Unfortunately, security teams were hovering too close, and Knowles decided to break cover to distract them. He was actually quite convincing. If it were me, I would have let him go. But that’s just me. Instead, the security detail brings him into custody, with Knowles’ exclamations of “but I’m the Chairman!” going unheeded.
Jack deteriorates, dropping to the floor and convulsing. Larry will bill him later for the broken coffee pot. They get a medic; the same CDC doctor chick that brought him in. and she gives him a shot of something that will help control his symptoms by masking them. He may repeat in two hours. If he forgets a dose, he should not double up the next time; just take the prescribed amount at the scheduled time. Somebody’s been reading too many prescription bottles.
