Back at NSA, Lynne is concerned that the press is starting to ask kwestions about why Palmer kut short his fishing trip with Theo. Uh, because it was "with Theo"? I mean, I'm thrilled that Palmer is trying to be there for Theo, seeing as how African-American fathers are perceived statistically as being absent from their kids' lives, but you know, sometimes there are extenuating circumstances that prevent one from being a hands-on father…like if your kids are douchebags, for instance. Lynne prepares Palmer for the inevitable questions while KreepyEric eavesdrops -- or whatever it is you do when you're a mere two feet away and hardly have to strain to listen in on a private conversation. "I better take care of it myself," reassures Palmer. KreepyEric wants to put his two cents in. He feels that Palmer should roll up his sleeves and deal with the problems at hand. Palmer wants to deal with the press, explaining that should a rumor leak out about the bomb, mass hysteria would ensue. A mass hysteria, by the way, that would be as dangerous as, if not more dangerous than, an actual nuclear blast.
The KieferKopter touches down in some parking lot. Kiefer steps off the Kopter and calls Mason on his cell. He asks after Spawn and her transportation to safety. Mason admits that they can't find Spawn at No!DaddyNo! Manor -- because you know she just ran away from there to prevent JonBenet from more abuse. "Dammit, George," says Kiefer, the velvety voice roughed up like a buzz saw. "I told you to tell me the second you know anything." Mason dryly claims that he was "just picking up the phone." Mason reassures the Kief that Spawn will be found and subsequently hustled out of L.A. to safety. Kiefer thanks George, climbs into his new Ford Kiefmobile, and takes off for pastures unknown. While in the Kiefmobile, Kiefer kalls Spawn to give one more velvety pitch that Spawn leave L.A. A shot of Kim's dresser at No!DaddyNo! Manor establishes that Spawn left her cell phone behind.
