Episode Report Card Gustave: A | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Ladies with an attitude

Jamey Farrell's death is then honored by a KFC commercial featuring the new "Spicy Barbeque Wings with Smoked Jalapeno." And why did Pink let them use her new single, "I'm Going Out," for the Bally Total Fitness ad? Couldn't they have waited until it was off the charts for a little while like Madonna did with the Microsoft ad featuring "Ray of Light"? And if that's not enough, they're using clips from the video in the ad so that if you were really stupid, you might think that Pink herself will be your very own cardio-funk instructor if you join now, and your daily workouts will be just like a taping of TRL. Hey, Pink? I love you and I know you will become a major superstar, but if you don't and you end up having to teach cardio-funk at Bally Total Fitness someday to make ends meet, please don't teach in that Castro clone leather cap, because it's gonna smell really bad at the end of the day. Just saying.
The time is 9:32:11 AM. Klockwise from the top left, Kiefer kreeps around the parking lot, some kops keep up their kwest to find him, and the Kieferettes komfort each other. Kiefer breaks into a clunky old sedan, hot-wires it, and drives out of the parking lot while the "Kiefer on the move" theme plays -- or whatever that techno song would be called if I wasn't too lazy to go over to the Fox site and look it up. You'd think the police would have blocked off the entrance to the parking lot, but again, whatever. Kiefer calls Nina again and learns that the trace only narrowed the location of the Kieferettes down to a "twenty-five-mile radius." "What about Jalapeno?" asks Kiefer, hoping he can get some more information out of her. Oops, she's dead. Nina forgot to mention that. I thought I had some stressful jobs in the past, but at least I can say that I've never worked in an office where things were so intense that the death of a co-worker just slipped my mind. Kiefer is restless; he wants to do something useful if he can't go look for the Kieferettes, so Nina "patches" Kiefer over to Soul Patch. Heh! Soul Patch tells Kiefer about the Ted Cofell email and explains that he's the CEO of an investment bank in Burbank. So then there's this cute moment where Nina, who is still "patched" in, starts explaining the significance of Ted Cofell while Soul Patch is still talking so Kiefer is all, "Hold on! Speak one at a time! Soul Patch? You first!" Reeow! Soul Patch just got his penis back! Nina even looks over at Soul Patch as if to say, "The fuck?" They give Kiefer the address of Cofell's firm so that he can head over there and question him. Kiefer warns them that Gaines will probably try to contact Jalapeno again. He tells Soul Patch to figure out a way to keep her death a secret, and orders Nina to continue her search for the location of police roadblocks on her computer. Not cool! He might as well have told Soul Patch to come up with an ad campaign for IBM and sent Nina out to fetch him a latte.
