Chloe is mad that Morris made her tell all. Personally, I think she should just get over herself. I mean, I love the girl, but… well; maybe we’ll just chalk it up to the long hours.
So, now that Jack has CTU’s full backing, he calls Cheng to find out where to “make the drop” or whatever Important Phrasing they’re using. Audrey is clearly worn out from her smiling and gesturing during Cheng’s earlier presentation; she looks pretty catatonic. Anyway, Doyle and Jack prepare to leave to Extract Audrey (New Important Phrasing), but Doyle stresses to Jack that the whole thing is nuts, and this woman better be important.
Veep has to resign. Lisa feels bad. She also seems a mite creeped out when Daniels caresses her face and comments that now they’ll have more time to spend together. If it were me, I’d be throwing up in my mouth.
After the nausea has passed, Wayne is holding his press conference to announce that the crisis has passed. The Veep hovers in the background, holding his letter of resignation. Everyone is smiling and Wayne is doing great until he starts to take questions:
“What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?”
This is pretty much his undoing, and down goes the President. Oh, and the cerebral hemorrhage that Dr. Weld diagnosed has a little something to do with his collapse too. And this brings us back to Veep In Charge. Little Lisa Loose Lips doesn’t waste a minute waving around an official notice regarding Wayne’s permission for Jack to exchange verboten technology for Audrey’s life. Veep Daniels immediately rescinds the deal and instructs CTU to halt Jacks’ plan.
We pretty much don’t need to see the last few minutes. Bill calls Doyle on the QT, tells him the jig is up, but Jack is having none of that. He manages to get Doyle out of the vehicle, takes his phone and reminds him that he already killed his partner earlier in the day, and snuffing out Doyle wouldn’t be such a big deal, if it’s what it’d take to get things done. And off he goes, just Jack being Jack.

I think that this Lisa Loose Lips is up to no good, MK. What I mean is that the mole might not be at CTU but in the White House. Hmmm.
Also, Doyle is either going to come through or be a big pain in the tuckus. I have a feeling he is really a good guy. We shall see.
