By M. Giant | Season 6 | Episode 5 | Aired on January 21, 2007
Salim approaches Walid and sits down next to him, wondering what the Feds wanted from him. Walid acts all reluctant to get his new friend in trouble, but of course he's just playing out line like an old pro. Of course, it's just motivating Salim to try harder to win Walid's trust. Finally, Walid "confesses" that the Feds found a phone number in his wallet belonging to Abu Fayed. Salim's face closes off, but the hook is set. He invites Walid to join his circle, and the two get up and walk across the yard together. I'm expecting Salim's buddies to shank Walid the second he gets close enough, but it looks like they're saving that for next week.
"He did that well," Agent Blond comments to Sandra. Now all Walid has left to do is "sell himself to the others before they'll open up," he adds. I'm sure he knows how to do that, having been fully trained on the relevant methods and techniques while getting thumped in the bathroom.
Graham goes to answer his front door at 10:53:54, and isn't all that pleased to see Kiefer standing on his front step. I'm sure that's exactly what Kiefer was expecting. Maybe with all the money that's clearly been poured into this giant house, Graham could have invested in, I don't know, a peephole. Graham swallows his initial oh, shit reaction at seeing his brother and invites him in, throwing a hug around him that goes totally unreturned. This is still fucking with my head. Trying to keep the mood jovial, Graham asks Kiefer when they last saw each other. "When Teri died," Kiefer buzzkills. Actually it was at Bride's funeral a few days later, because Graham was still on ER then. Kiefer asks if he's found their dad yet, and Graham says that he's still working on it. Just then Graham's son Josh comes down the stairs, and Graham introduces them. Kiefer drops in all sorts of long pauses so we are sure to know that the kid is Kiefer's biological offspring. Just what we need: a male Spawn. He even has the vapid eyes of the original. He's quite a bit younger, though, which would mean that Kiefer did Graham's wife when he was married to Teri. That dog. Kiefer extends his gnarled meathook and asks Josh how he's doing. Josh takes the corpse-yellow hand with an uncertain look but doesnât comment on it, saying it's been a weird day. Yeah, tell Kiefer all about it, kid. Just then Marilyn appears on the upper balcony, telling Josh to leave the men alone. Josh wanders off, saying maybe they can talk later, like no teenager ever does, just so Kiefer can respond, "I would like that." Marilyn turns her cold gaze on Kiefer, and into the silence that's stretching out, Kiefer apologizes for the intrusion and says he'll leave as soon as he learns what he needs to about his father. Marilyn just nods and disappears again. "Well, that was pleasant, wasn't it?" Graham snarks, and invites Kiefer into his home office.
