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
ImhoTerror's riding along in the back of his van when his cell phone rings. "Where are you?" he answers. Poor Man's Eric Stoltz reports that he's almost in position. "What's the problem?" asks ImhoTerror. "Is my cover in place?" Poor Man's Eric Stoltz whines. ImhoTerror gives his reassurances as Poor Man's Eric Stoltz tells him, "They have to believe I'm dead." Don't worry, Poor Man's Eric Stoltz. I'm sure everyone will believe you're dead after ImhoTerror kills you, the way he's killed everyone else who's worked with him. PMES frets, "Once this is done, the whole world is gonna be looking for me." Yeah, especially when they find the cockpit voice recorder. The stealth fighter streaks through the night sky, an angular black silhouette that's really easy to convincingly fake using CGI. It's 10:34:12.
10:38:34. Keeler smiles paternally at his son, who's impressing him by being able to read, while Poor Man's Eric Stoltz continues on his way and NotMandy continues searching his apartment. At CTU, Potato Face gets off the phone, saying, "I'll tell him." She heaves a sigh and heads over to Lispy Skip's desk to tell him, "I have some bad news." With uncharacteristic sensitivity, she offers to tell him someplace private, but he passes. She says she just got off the phone with someone at OSHA, who says they won't be able to enter the area where Lispy Skip's mom died for weeks, possibly months. "Why not?" Lispy Skip asks. Potato Face drops the caring façade and duhs, "Think about it. Half-life? Radiation?" At least MamaSkip will be well-preserved. Potato Face concludes that Lispy Skip is going to have to have a funeral without the body. Off his blank stare, she adds, "Of your mother." It's no "in the NECK," but it'll do. Lispy Skip says he can't deal with it right now because he's working on something for Bitchelle. Potato Face heads back to her desk, clearly affronted that her incredibly sensitive handling of this was so coldly rebuffed. Then she relents and turns back. "Do you want me to do that for you?" she asks. "No," says Skip softly. Back at her own computer, Potato Face shoots a concerned look at Skip, who's starting to get teary. Aw, Skip, it's okay. Potato Face is only back temporarily.
Soul Patch is bent over a computer, stealing glances at Buchanan and Bitchelle so he can be sure they're at least twenty yards apart at all times. She approaches Soul Patch to ask him to do something with the ImhoTerror search grid (might as well wipe his ass with it, for all the good it's doing). When she turns to go, he stops her, saying, "When were you planning on telling me?…About you and Buchanan?" Bitchelle looks more pissed off than busted, but not by much. "Never," she snaps, "because it's none of your business." She starts to leave again, but Soul Patch stops her again, wanting to know if she slept with Buchanan while they were still married. She denies it. "But you are now," he pushes. "Like I said," she repeats, "it's none of your business." This time he lets her go. Oh, Soul Patch. Righteous hypocrisy does not become you. And this problem is so easily solved. Just introduce Buchanan to your Skank and let things take their course.
