The time is 09:28:29 AM. Spawn and JonBenet kontinue to take kover behind the Po Ho dumpster, Mason putters around his office, and Palmer pulls KreepyEric over for a chat. Palmer asks KreepyEric the status of the investigation. KreepyEric explains that they might not be able to stop the bomb in time, since they've only had a few hours' notice. He urges Palmer to think about what his plan of action will be if there is a detonation, and makes another pitch for a meeting with the Pentagon. Palmer is all, whatever. KreepyEric exits, and Palmer sits down at his desk. Lynne enters with some bad news. Apparently PressToad is giving a ten-minute live report at the beginning of Episode 205…I mean, "noon." He has figured out that there is a national emergency. Palmer slams his fist into his desk. "Set up a private interview with him in ten minutes," says Palmer. He also sends for someone named "Armus." The name makes Lynne's eyes widen. I take it that Armus is this year's KreepyKarl.
Back at the Rough Trade Auto Shop, Eddie has gone to get Joe, so Kiefer and Krispin kontinue to klash. Kiefer tries to help Krispin wire the explosive device that he's working on, making suggestions about the "tightening the fuse" and whatnot, but Krispin tells him to get lost. Eddie returns and restores the peace. He takes Kiefer aside and tells him that Joe's too busy to see him. "Come back again tomorrow," says Eddie. Obviously that's too late for Kiefer, so he begs to see Joe for five minutes. Eddie explains that he and the junkyard boys are doing something important that day and really can't be bothered. Kiefer accepts this and promises to come back tomorrow. He gets into the Kiefmobile and makes a cell phone call to Mason, advising him that the junkyard boys are putting together a bomb and therefore involved. He suggests having CTU detain them. Mason is reluctant to do so, because he wants Kiefer to see Wald and have Wald lead them to the Second Wave. A raid, according to Mason, would prevent that from happening. Kiefer hangs up with Mason and fakes having car trouble while he surreptitiously watches the junkyard gang load up a van. Krispin watches Kiefer watch the junkyard boys load up the van.
