Episode Report Card M. Giant: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Together Again
By M. Giant | Season 4 | Episode 8 | Aired on 02.06.2005
Of course, TerrorDad is probably right about what's going to happen to his family, but since their lives are in TerrorTeen's hands, TerrorDad won't necessarily have anything to do with it. Right now, TerrorMom and TerrorTeen are arguing about going to a hospital. "He tried to kill me and then he did this to you.," TerrorTeen says. "He is not my father any more." So he and TerrorDad agree on that, at least. TerrorMom's just now getting around to tying a scarf around her bloody arm. He gets her to agree to let him drop her off at an emergency room and then drive away, but he insists that "whatever happens, we're staying together." I guess all is forgiven with that whole girlfriend-poisoning unpleasantness. That was hours ago, after all. Nice to see he doesn't carry a grudge. Maybe he and TerrorDad can reconcile by dinnertime.
2:09:10. AIIIEEEE!sha asks a random extra to cover for her for a few minutes, because even though it's her first day she already knows everyone well enough to ask them for favors. She heads to the ladies' and checks all the stalls before pulling out her cell phone. When TerrorGringo answers his own cell, she explains that she missed his call earlier because "I was in a meeting." TerrorGringo, who's carrying a black canvas bag and walking briskly through what looks like an office park, breaks the news that Kiefer and DoDder are still alive. They both agree that that's not AIIIEEEE!sha's fault: "The location was correct but they survived the attack. They're headed back to CTU." AIIIEEEE!sha thinks not so much. TerrorGringo is confused that Kiefer hasn't called in, but AIIIEEEE!sha realizes what it means: Kiefer knows there's a leak, which means AIIIEEEE!sha wants out. TerrorGringo says she has to hang out "until we take care of" Kiefer and DoDder. I don't know why that is, and TerrorGringo doesn't explain. AIIIEEEE!sha's worried about going to jail, but TerrorGringo, having reached his car, "reassures" her: "You'll be taken care of. You know that. Now go." TerrorGringo hangs up. AIIIEEEE!sha stands there holding her phone, thinking, "Taken care of." Now where else have I heard that expression recently? Special Agent Breck busts in on her reverie, acting all pissy about something that AIIIEEEE!sha's supposed to be doing and then storming out. Divert suspicion, AIIIEEEE!sha thinks.
DaD's working in an office somewhere at CTU when Curtis knocks on the door to announce that his assistant, Scott Borman, has arrived. "Good to see you safe and sound, sir," the guy smarms when he comes into the room. He looks like a skinnier version of Walt from The Dead Zone, but there's no way I'm calling him Poor Man's Chris Bruno because that's too obscure even for me. Ain't nobody that poor. Anyway, now that Curtis has left, DaD sits his assistant down to explain about the mole. He wants Scott to go to Driscoll with the "news" that Kiefer and DoDder have left Felsted Security and are watching surveillance videos at "the old CTU substation in Torrance," and they'll call in after DoDder makes her ID. "I take it Kiefer and DoDder are nowhere near the CTU substation?" Scott says. DaD confirms that he's trying to "flush out the mole." "Then you'll need me to put a DoD Comsat envelope around this place." DaD pretends Scott's not already a step ahead of him, saying, "If anyone sends a communication containing the information you planted, that's the spy." "Duh," Scott doesn't say. DaD needs an assistant for this? I don't know why he can't plant his own damn bogus information. The real SecDef does. It's 2:11:48.
