By Gustave | Season 1 | Episode 21 | Aired on 04.22.2002
Back at the Palmer Suite, PMHC tell Palmer to celebrate and let go as he's just had a tough day. Palmer is reluctant to start relaxing, as there's still a tough road ahead. "Once you're in the White House," says PMHC conspiratorially, "everything defers to the office. It's what you need to do the job." He hints that Palmer can get away with some extracurriculars, if you know what I mean. I don't know -- maybe PMHC was out of the country during the Clinton administration, but I don't think any of our future presidents are going to feel comfortable having sex in the Oval Office thanks to the fact that we all know all about Bill Clinton's not-so-large curved penis. Palmer reacts ambiguously and gets ready to go downstairs for his not-victory speech.
The CTU field unit finds their way through the Lou Diamond Phillips Memorial Kave and lets Mason know via cell phone that TerrorPapa and Kiefer are gone and everyone else is dead. Nina listens in on an extension and uses some "whatever technology" to track their movements. Mason orders the unit to follow them through the tunnel they blew into the wall, but it's booby-trapped with laser mines that will take a while to defuse. "Do what you can," says Mason.
Meanwhile, TerrorPapa, FATB, and the LeafyTerrorMinions crawl out of the sewer and wind up in some grassy field where FATB's TerrorMercedes is parked. For some stupid reason, they decide to kill Kiefer now. Like, why didn't they do that back in the tunnel? Kiefer hastily saves his ass by telling them that he knows where LittleTerrorBrother is being held. They spare him and throw him into one of the TerrorJeeps. Hey, where did their leafy outfits go?
Back in the patrol kar of KopKennyG, Spawn asks to use his cell so she can call her mother. She is put through to Bride in the Konfrontational Koffee room immediately, and they have a joyous but tearful reunion over the telephone. "Where's Dad?" asks Spawn. "He's not here," says Bride artfully. They tell each other they love each other and hang up. The screen splits to show Palmer on his way to make his not-victory speech and Kiefer riding in the TerrorJeep. The screen goes back to KKG apologizing to Spawn for not believing her. "That's okay," says Spawn good-naturedly. "I don't believe it myself." All of a sudden, a van pulls in front of the KKGmobile and crashes into it. Another SUV pulls up, and two masked men shoot KKG and his partner in the head and open the car door to get Spawn. Despite her "struggle," they pull her from the vehicle. The time is 8:59:58…8:59:59…9:00:00 PM.
