Episode Report Card M. Giant: C+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT The EMP Strikes Back
By M. Giant | Season 4 | Episode 13 | Aired on 03.13.2005
Meanwhile, Old MFer's right hand has recovered enough strength to reach out and grab the pistol that nobody bothered to kick away from his body.
Kiefer approaches Castle and hands him the printout, instructing him to get it to CTU and have it decoded, and also to set up a security detail to protect the store. As he's talking, Grayadder is the first to notice that Old MFer is aiming his gun at Kiefer. Grayadder acts quickly, shouting a warning and shoving Kiefer out of the line of fire. Of course we all know what normally happens to people who rush at Kiefer and try to push him aside: the would-be pusher ends up on the floor unconscious and bleeding with a couple of dislocated joints. But Grayadder isn't so lucky. He actually succeeds in shoving Kiefer down as Old MFer fires his gun. Kiefer's got his own gun out by the time he hits the floor, and he quickly takes out Old MFer. But he's too late to prevent Grayadder from taking a bullet in the gut. Kiefer actually seems upset as Grayadder collapses, and he screams for a medic. He rushes to Grayadder's side and begs him to hold on. "I owed you," Grayadder manages. Kiefer replies, "You don't owe me anything," again neglecting to mention the real reasons he saved Grayadder in the first place. He stays with Grayadder even after the medic arrives, and Castle practically has to drag Kiefer away. Aw, Kiefer's worried about Grayadder! Or he's worried about not getting any more poontang when DoDder finds out he let her husband get shot.
Not much going on in the end-of episode split screen this week. Bitchelle and DoDder stand there looking serious, and that's about it.
Poor Man's Eric Stoltz dials his phone. He confirms to ImhoTerror that he's "here" and that everything is "on schedule." We can't see where "here" is, although Poor Man's Eric Stoltz appears to be outside somewhere. Possibly an airfield. "The president is on a tight schedule," ImhoTerror ImTones into the phone. "We can't be late." Aw, they're POTUS groupies! It's 8:00:00.
Next on 24: Kiefer decides to try getting close to ImhoTerror by pretending to be TerrorMom's hostage. Heh. Heh, heh, heh.
