Fayed, who is traveling in a big black van with Steve Carell and Greg Kinnear, is as proud as if he were The Last King of Scotland. He talks on the phone to Gredenko, who is at an abandoned airport, checking to make sure there are no Snakes on a Plane. “I’ll be glad when we no longer have to deal with these mother f*&king people.”
The Ambassador of The Queen shows up at White House – he expresses sadness at the nuclear bombing in Valencia. He meets with Al-Assad, but they don’t exactly get along. Wayne is still whispering. He hands over dossier containing the Letters from Iwo Jima. Wayne asks the Ambassador for a statement of public support but the Ambassador is hesitant. Wayne carefully explains – as if to Children of Men – that there are navy ships off the coast of his country. In other words – play along nicely!!!
At CTU, Morris is slow to find information on a landline from Gredenko’s presumed safe house. Jack calls in from the Mirror Mar Hotel and fills in Buchanan about Logan’s phone call. Bill explains that Logan is under house arrest at his retreat in Hidden Valley- so that’s who’s making that salad dressing! [Note to self – throw out bottle] Jack is tender with Marilyn again. This is nice until it looks like he’s doing that freaky wiping his hand over someone’s face thing like Sean Archer in Face/Off
At the Bunker – the Killer Security Dude, Bruce Carson, shows up and gets checked in by security. Yes, this dry erase marker does work, what a lovely shade of Goldenrod! KSD want to off Tom but Reed pleads his case so KSD relents for the moment. Tom is still tied up and gagged. Reed has to go play White House staffer and runs into Melinda in the hallway. She asks too many questions, Reed gets impatient, wondering if she’s taking Notes on a Scandal.
Our Little Miss Sunshine, Chloe, sees that Morris made a simple mistake. They bicker back and forth about his competence, and whether he called his sponsor. Nadia checks on Chloe checking on Morris. Then these Dreamgirls argue a little more, but Chloe insists that Morris is better than most of the tech guys there. Nadia warns that she’ll go to Buchanan if there are any more slip-ups.

I really like the Oscar-24 connections you make throughout. Clever good fun and on the money too.
By the way, whenever Jack wears a suit, trouble is sure to follow. Oh-oh!

I can't remember if I asked you; did you see The Sentinel?
(Speaking of wearing a suit)
