Barry's still lurking outside one door to the room, and Audrey shows up outside the other. Kiefer apologizes and takes a step towards Spawn, but she tells him to just go, and he stops. Then Audrey sticks her head in, saying, "Burke needs you in Holding." I bet he does. I even rewound it a couple of times to make sure she didn't say Burke needs him for holding. Spawn says she and Barry have a plane to catch. Kiefer begs her to stay a little longer, and she agrees to talk to Barry. Kiefer says he'll be right back. She doesn't turn to watch him go, so we have a clear view of her face as she "tries" not to "cry."
It's 6:22:02, and Fucked-up Accent Guy is making his way through the bowels of CTU, using a Game-Boy map of the facility for reference. McGill's keycard lets him into a dark, locked room. Pretty much the only feature in here that you need to know about is the giant fan spinning behind a metal grate. Heavens, what do you suppose Fucked-up Accent Guy could possibly be up to?
Tony is now sitting up on the edge of his bed, and I have to give the hair people props, because his bed-head in the back is truly spectacular. Of course, it should be fried off completely considering that it was engulfed in flame less than twelve hours ago, but this is Tony we're talking about, after all. A nurse delivers his meds. And it's nice to see that torture isn't confined to the interrogation rooms; where's the fucking morphine drip? Oh, right, he ripped it out. Never mind. Buchanan enters, and Tony tries to get him to explain what's going on. Buchanan doesn't want to say. "There's nothing you can do," he points out. Tony snaps that he knows. "Look at me, for God's sake!" Yes, twelve hours after being blown into tiny pieces, he can barely walk. Must be getting old. But he still wants to know who killed Michelle. All Buchanan will say is that "Michelle's death was part of a bigger plan to supply terrorists with Sentox nerve gas." Tony asks who's behind it. Buchanan could probably calm Tony down a little right now if he answered, "A bunch of dead guys," but noooo, he's got to bring up Henderson. Tony remembers Henderson too, and he tells Buchanan not to let Henderson cut a deal. Buchanan agrees, and leaves Tony alone to down his meds. Doesn't look like they're working yet. That's probably because he broke them down and sweated them out in less time than it took me to write this sentence.
