Episode Report Card M. Giant: A | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Do-Over
By M. Giant | Season 7 | Episode 10 | Aired on 02.23.2009
Burnett's desk phone rings and his boss summons him. Burnett enters the adjoining office, which you've already figured out belongs to the same Senator Mayer who grilled Kiefer in the first hour. "I'm going to the White House," he announces. "President Taylor wants to speak to me regarding Jack Bauer." Putting on his jacket, Mayer shares Burnett's (feigned) curiosity about what this might involve. He thinks it's odd that Kiefer was pulled away to help with an investigation, and now Taylor wants to talk about him. "I don't like the timing of this. Grab your laptop, Ryan. I want you there with me." Ryan ducks back into his office to get it, and while he's in there, he receives a text message: "Units in Place. Operation on schedule." Burnett looks up from his phone with an expression of naked fear. Huh, he really doesn't want to go to the White House for some reason. So, on an unrelated topic, what do you suppose that next target is?
