Episode Report Card Gustave: A- | 0 USERS: N/A YOU GRADE IT Guess Who's Coming To Breakfast?
By Gustave | Season 1 | Episode 8 | Aired on January 14, 2002
Meanwhile, Kiefer is snooping around inside the MedicalHut. FauxMartin enters. Not that they explain how he got past Intense Black Secret Service Guy. He opens his briefcase and tells Kiefer to assemble the rifle inside. While Kiefer puts the gun together, Faux puts some sort of putty over his own fingerprints. He hands Kiefer a bullet. "You want my prints on this weapon?" says Kiefer. "Do you honestly think that anyone is going to believe that I shot David Palmer?" Faux wordlessly puts the gun in his camera bag and starts to walk out the door. Kiefer pulls a gun on him, but Faux coolly reminds him that "someone might get hurt" if he stops the assassination, and continues out the door. The time is 7:37:09 AM.
The time is 7:41:19. Klockwise from the top left, Kiefer peers out of the MedicalHut, Soul Patch makes his way down a CTU hall, Gaines stares at the KieferKonsole, and a TV-inside-a-TV shows Palmer taking the stage. Soul Patch approaches Jalapeno's desk and, solely for the benefit of Jalapeno's ears, tells Milo that the real keycard was found and he put it in the archive room, the room -- I assume -- where Nina is hiding out. Jalapeno's reaction is totally transparent. Her chin starts throbbing uncontrollably. Must… find…keycard. Now that bait has been put out there, Soul Patch exits to go back to work, and I must say that if Soul Patch didn't want Jalapeno to get suspicious, he should have refrained from going back to work that quickly. Milo is all, "A fake keycard? What is that about?" Jalapeno shakes her head a little too quickly and feigns ignorance while her chin sniffs the air in search of blood.
From the archive room, which you know is some crappy junk room because the brand-new furniture inside looks totally affordable, Nina watches Jalapeno squirm over the security cameras. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that this "junk room" that everyone has forgotten about has a giant konsole of monitors hooked up to the security cameras so that Soul Patch and Nina can monitor everything that's happening at CTU. And yes, that includes the bathrooms. No wonder Soul Patch knew about this room. I bet he installed a hidden lube and tissue caddy somewhere. The phone rings. It's Head Secret Service Guy getting back to Soul Patch. SP tells HSSG that Kiefer is at the breakfast and might be "compromised." HSSG remembers giving Kiefer "klearance," and promises to take appropriate action. Meanwhile, Nina sees Jalapeno leaving her desk over the security cameras, and gives Soul Patch a heads-up. Jalapeno enters the ladies' room and gets into a stall. Nina gives Jalapeno's location to Soul Patch over some headsets they're now wearing. Soul Patch pretends to be reading some files outside the ladies' and waits for Nina's okay. When the security cameras, which are on a "twenty-second loop," are blinded to the ladies' room, Nina gives the go-ahead. Soul Patch enters the ladies room, gets into the stall next to Jalapeno, spies her trying to contact Gaines over her Palm Pilot, pulls a gun on her, and drags her ass out of there. Gaines checks the KieferKonsole, doesn't see a thing, and turns his attention back to the Palmer breakfast, where…
