The time is 02:28:04 PM. Klockwise from the top left, Palmer broods, Spawn and Miguel drive to Aunt Carol's, stuff happens at CTU, and JonBenet amuses herself in the backseat of her father's Lexus. Back at CTU, Mason enters and goes over some Whatever Technology stuff with Bitchelle. Soul Patch calls and tells Mason about the latest development at Chez Crew and how it looks like Papa Crew had ties to Ali as well. Mason tells him to bring both of them in for interrogation, and gives Soul Patch carte blanche to arrest them if necessary. Soul Patch asks Reza to come with him to CTU. Reza refuses. Soul Patch threatens to arrest him. Papa Crew enters and tells Reza to cooperate with the agents the way he is. Marie wants to go down to CTU as well. They let her, because she's a spoiled brat who always gets her way. On their way out, Papa Crew tells Cate to, uh, cancel the wedding, and also to call "Larry," who will apparently know what to do about this even though he's a tax attorney. The agents escort him out and leave only Cate behind at Chez Crew, feeling alone and scared.
NSA. Palmer has a meeting with PMHC, Lady Mac, and Rolaide. Rolaide wants to go over some stuff in private. Palmer introduces her to his ex-wife, informing her that Lady Mac has been granted a temporary security clearance and will be privy to all "private" conversations. Rolaide couldn't look any less thrilled. Palmer has called this meeting to discuss identifying and bringing down the conspiracy against him. Rolaide is confused. Lady Mac suggests patronizingly that they "bring her up to speed." Palmer tells Rolaide that he thinks Yulin is actively conspiring against him, and that Yulin caused the helicopter crash. Rolaide doesn't believe him. Lady Mac tells Rolaide that Yulin has been having "secret meetings" with the Senate Minority Leader, with Eric Rayburn in attendance. Rolaide knows about these meetings. They were to discuss an unrelated bipartisan bill that Palmer hadn't been briefed on yet. "I have very detailed records, if you would like to take a look," says Rolaide. Lady Mac looks burnt. Palmer still thinks they need to prove that Yulin is with the Palmer administration, and asks Rolaide to keep track of all of her conversations with him. Lady Mac and Rolaide keep giving each other the evil eye. PMHC is all, "Catfight!" The time is 02:33:39 PM.
The time is 02:38:09 PM. Klockwise from the top left, Cate wanders Chez Crew, Mason stares into space, and Papa Crew rides alongside the agents to CTU. Cate goes over to Papa Crew's home computer and starts digging around the private sections of the website. She doesn't have her father's password, so she calls Ralph Burton, the private investigator. Burton isn't in, but his boss, Koplin, is happy to help her access her father's private files
