Episode Report Card Gustave: B+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Sisters in disguise
By Gustave | Season 2 | Episode 11 | Aired on 02.03.2003
Cate enters the lobby of the mosque and looks around like she's thinking the exact thing I'm thinking: this place looks just like a yoga studio. There are hardwood floors and a stack of those wicker baskets where you're supposed to put your shoes after you remove them. There's even an intense brown-eyed dude with a funky hat and a flowing robe sitting at the front desk to take your class fee and maybe even rent you a sticky mat. The Mosque-a-teer greets her in Arabic. Cate greets him back in Arabic. He looks suspiciously at the trembling skinny blonde and informs her that prayers have already begun. Cate nervously apologizes for being late and explains that there was bad traffic. "Have you prayed with us before?" asks the Mosque-a-teer. Cate explains that she's been away for a while. She removes her chunky heels. The Mosque-a-teer parts the velvet curtain and admits her to the main floor. Oh, like that would happen at a yoga studio. If you're late for class, the Hindu Nazi at the desk never lets you in. As Cate makes her way to the women's prayer area, the men can be seen praying in their area through a see-through curtain. Cate walks super-slowly past the kneeling and chanting men and studies each one like she's at the zoo looking at the new panda cub. After, like, forty-five minutes of blatant staring with her thumb on the Whatever Gizmo, Cate finally locates Syed Ali toward the back of the room. Syed notices her and does a double-take. Cate turns her back on him and quickly makes her way to the women's prayer area…but not without dropping her Whatever Gizmo and staring back at Syed eleven more times. Once she reaches the women's prayer area, she ducks out a back entrance and starts running. Someone grabs her. It's Kiefer. He clamps his hand over her mouth so she can't scream. It's a sexy gesture…like when you're fooling around with someone in your bedroom and your parents are asleep next door. Once Cate realizes whose hand is over her mouth, she calms down and informs Kiefer that Syed Ali is definitely in the building. The time is 06:25:51 PM.
The time is 06:30:07 PM. Klockwise from the top left, Spawn finds a clearing in the forest, Palmer and PMHC make their way down a corridor at NSA escorted by soldiers, and Yulin projects some more patriarchal indignation intermingled with fear. As Palmer and PMHC make their way to Yulin's holding cell, PMHC informs Palmer that the last call Yulin made was to Langley, Virginia and therefore was probably to an associate at the CIA. Palmer enters Yulin's cell by himself. He tells Yulin about all of the evidence they have linking him to Colonel Sanders and the bombing of Flight 69, and how he'll be executed if anyone dies. During this tirade he gets really close to Yulin. Their faces are so close they're practically kissing. And, dude, it's not like I'm imagining the homoeroticism here. You think I'd actively fantasize about Palmer and Yulin getting it on? Anyway, before Yulin has a chance to say anything, Palmer offers him a pardon if she tells the truth and starts cooperating. He'll get to collect his pension and everything. "No one will ever know anything about this," promises Palmer. "Do we have a deal?" After a long pause, Yulin plays dumb and insists that he knows nothing about any of this. "I don't know any more about the bomb than you do," he says.
