Episode Report Card M. Giant: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Putting the "Dent" in "President"
By M. Giant | Season 4 | Episode 16 | Aired on 04.03.2005
Bitchelle descends upon Lispy Skip, looking for the updates he's working on. He says they're coming right up, and clatters on his keyboard. Because she doesn't have a job of her own to do, Potato Face is nosily watching what he's doing on her monitor. She notices something amiss. "What are you doing?" she mutters as Skip ejects a blue CD-ROM and gets ready to hand it to Bitchelle. She gets up and swoops in, telling Bitchelle she made some technobabble mistake. "Why would you do that?" Bitchelle complains. "It'll bring all our processors to a crawl." Potato Face says it was a mistake. "Well, fix it," Bitchelle snaps, and she and Potato Face stomp off in opposite directions. Skip follows Potato Face, asking why she covered for him: "You could have had your job back if you'd let me hand her the disk." Potato Face rounds on him and says, "I thought you had a lot on your mind." Yeah, he's concentrating really hard on forgetting about those hourly reports from the LAPD that he was so stressed about last episode. Good thing the hourlies only come in once a day, right? Potato Face leaves him standing there. I'm-a peel that Potato after all, he thinks.
10:42:16. NotMandy is sort of lurking around downstairs, pretending to look for the hard drive, and Kiefer is up in the loft, stealing looks at her that are more than a little suspicious. Ask for her ID, why don't you? Kiefer steps into a closet, which is more bad news for Grayadder. The Handsome Bald Agent returns from his canvass of the building, just as Kiefer finds the dry-cleaning bag that once contained Poor Man's Eric Stoltz's uniform, and still contains a much smaller plastic envelope. Kiefer pulls that out and looks at it while Handsome Bald Agent reports that he checked with the neighbors and the managers, who've raised no red flags. Kiefer steps to the balcony railing and shows the tiny bag to NotMandy, explaining that it's a three-month-old bag from a manufacturer of military decorations, even though Poor Man's Eric Stoltz was dishonorably discharged four years ago. "You think he's currently posing as military?" NotMandy asks, as if she didn't know. Kiefer thinks it's a possibility, and suggests they both report this to their respective agencies. They take out their phones, but NotMandy is of course faking.
Meanwhile, Handsome Bald Agent gets ready to plug in a laptop, and that's when we discover the first thing wrong with this otherwise awesome apartment: not enough electrical outlets. He has to push aside a dresser or something to get access to the nearest plug-in, but even then he's out of luck because the plug plate is swinging loose in its socket. Handsome Bald Agent gets out his little CSI flashlight to investigate, while NotMandy watches and continues to have her imaginary one-way conversation. Soon, he's revealed a secret compartment. NotMandy gets off the phone and Handsome Bald Agent shows her what he's found: an external hard drive. "That's good work," she says, then wraps her arm around his head and stabs him in the back of the neck. Man, again with that. That looks painful. But, in this case, silent. NotMandy quietly puts down her knife and the Handsome Bald Corpse, then sticks the hard drive in her waistband and draws Agent Drake's gun.
