Just then there's a knock on the door, and in comes Tim Woods, not getting very far into the room with a report on news from the FBI before reading the totally janky energy in the room and ducking out as quickly as he can. "Good news," he adds on his way out. Taylor promises to be right there. After he leaves, Henry tells Taylor to go ahead. "But so help me," he says with tears on his face, "Destroy that recording and save what's left of this family." Taylor goes. After Aaron closes the door behind her, Olivia sobs, "Dad, what did I do?" He manages a "what are you gonna do?" shrug and promises that they'll "figure it out." Good luck with that. Hey, maybe they should be discussing who of the other ten people who knew about this they should frame. After all, it's not like Kiefer has any long-term plans.
At 7:42:42, Tim is on his way out of the White House, planning to go to FBI-DC to pick up Wilson himself, at least according to the phone conversation he's having with Janis. He says he'll be there in twenty minutes, which is going to be too late if he wants to get there before the end of the season. After Janis hangs up, she goes over to Chloe, who has her coat on and is ready to leave. Chloe says she'll come back later or tomorrow for the debrief. "I want to be here for Jack," she explains. Janis nods, and thanks Chloe for her help. "Yeah, it was interesting," Chloe says. "Given what you have to work with, you're doing a pretty good job." Janis smiles and accepts the compliment, such as it is. "Good, that's what it was meant to be," Chloe says, and walks out, smiling to herself at having delivered one last passive-aggressive dig before taking off.
