Episode Report Card Gustave: A- | 0 USERS: N/A YOU GRADE IT Sliced Jalapeno
By Gustave | Season 1 | Episode 9 | Aired on January 21, 2002
Kiefer's got trouble! The police are hanging out in the konstruction site parking lot for some reason, which means that he can't retrieve the CTU kar without being taken back into kustody. He asks a reluctant Lauren Brockovich to retrieve it for him. "Is your wife and daughter really in trouble?" asks Lauren B. Kiefer konfirms this. Lauren exits. Kiefer watches her through the Venetian blinds and sees her change her mind and walk over to the police. Kiefer jumps out the window into a dumpster and, accompanied by some techno-Riverdance music, finds the CTU car. He retrieves the keys from the sun visor and speeds off.
The time is 8:58:26 AM. Over at the ex-Jalapeno terminal, Milo gives Nina and Soul Patch an update on his search on Gaines, which apparently yielded a plethora of non-leads. Nina orders him to krosscheck his findings with Flee-er from Kiefer, Alan York, and the plane krash. Milo is on it. "She's had no time to think about it," says Soul Patch to Nina regarding Jalapeno. Nina tells Milo to kall her when Kyle komes in. Yet again, Milo wants to know what is up with Jalapeno and why she's in trouble. "You're not an internal affairs agent," says Soul Patch. "Keep kwiet and kall us when Kyle komes in!" And if Soul Patch is telling you to mind your own business…Nina and Soul Patch discuss the inevitability of "bringing Milo in" on their way back to the archives room, but when they open the door, they see Jalapeno in a pool of blood, having kut her wrists with a broken koffee kup. Nina calls whoever it is you call in these situations while Milo announces over the intercom that Kyle, Jalapeno's son, is here. "Keep him out of here!" says Nina as she and Soul Patch unkuff Jalapeno and lay her down on the ground. The screen splits into fours and we see Bride being a mother-lion, Lady Mac being a mother spin-doctor, and Kiefer being a muthafucka. Jalapeno's TerrorPalm rings. It's Gaines. The time is 8:59:58…8:59:59…9:00:00 AM. And Jalapeno is nowhere to be found in the scenes from next week. Just saying.
