Olivia would like to be sedated. After convincing Aaron that she’ll be fine on her own while he waits in the hall practicing Chuck Norris, Jack Bauer moves, Olivia joins her snake of a pal Ken in his hotel room. She spills the beans; he makes hummus out of them by telling ‘Liv that he needs to know every shocking detail of the WMD fiasco. And then tells her that now she must sleep with him in order to keep him quiet. And she throws up in her mouth, has a Binaca® Blast, and does the deed. Angry pillow talk reveals that Ken will renege and ‘Liv is up the creek. But wait, because she’s got her handy-dandy camera-phone ready, the deed was recorded for posterity and the first tabloid in her path – if Ken runs the story. Doh!
Tony is stealthing his way towards the bio-weapons. A brief scuffle with a security detail yields a plus, Tony nicks a Kevlar vest and the masquerade is complete. He’s one of them. Well seriously, he has that ‘not gonna take no guff off of nobody’ look already. He even gets to ride in the elevator with a chief brainiac (not to mention Mer and Der having one of their typical elevator discussions. “You snore, seriously.” “Oh, seriously, you need a shave!” “Kiss me, I love you!”) Tony and Brainiac roll their eyes and head toward the canisters, Tony warming up his phone. He approaches the group of scientists. "Excuse me, need to check the light". Holds up light meter. “No, I need another spot over here. That’s better. OK, c’mon now babies, lets go…oh yes…yes…you’re lovely, the lot of you! Heaven! Perfection!”
Tony captures the image and back at FBI, Jack confirms that those are indeed the lovely, lovely canisters, looking better than ever since the last hour. President Taylor receives this confirmation and orders the F18s to begin the strike.
Hodges makes a visit to see Knowles who’s been pacing around wondering what the world was coming to. He uses more bluster to cover his actions with Tony, asking Hodges for explanations of the last few hours. They argue and Jonas trots out the “I treated you like a son!” line. That never bodes well. Evidently he must have beat his children because he’s suddenly striking at Knowles, grabs a heavy glass object (Frog paperweight anyone?) and hits Knowles on the head and then neatly tosses him over the balcony to his death. When will people learn to stop arguing near balconies?
