Episode Report Card M. Giant: C+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT You Down with EMP?

Right now, ImhoTerror's ditching his stolen CTU uniform in a trash can. Great payoff there with the disguise. Or maybe the writers are fighting again. In the last few moments of sunlight, he hops a passing bus (which is apparently free) and takes a seat, looking around suspiciously. His eyes alight on a young boy sitting across the aisle on his mother's lap and he smiles before turning to face forward. Thanks, 24, for that "Hitler liked dogs" moment.
There's a meeting going on at CTU. Sorry, I guess I should have prepared you a little better for that shock. Lispy Skip exposits to the room that ImhoTerror's most recent work at MacGuffin Factories was on the MacGuffin itself, to the surprise of no one. That does explain his expertise with it. Driscoll asks what else they know about ImhoTerror. Soul Patch says that ImhoTerror went to graduate school in England (at which time, according to the archive photo on the screen, he was being played by Hugh Grant), then worked at a company outside of London. London, Driscoll thinks. I could go to London now. Soul Patch doesn't know when ImhoTerror became radicalized, but he does know that "From the day he arrived in the U.S., everything he did was about today." Driscoll wants to know what else ImhoTerror did at MF. Special Agent Breck is still looking into that, as well as the possibility that he used MF as a base to recruit people for his sleeper cells. Which reminds Soul Patch that it might be a good idea to divert some of the CTU personnel now looking for ImhoTerror towards looking for the other cells that report to him. I could go anywhere now, Driscoll thinks. I can take a vacation someplace without having to pack the straitjacket. Fiji, maybe. Or Greece. Or Iceland. This job's got my circadian rhythms permanently fucked, so I might as well go to some other place that has twenty-four hour days. Soul Patch has been talking this whole time, and he finally has to break Driscoll's reverie by making a suggestion and asking her, "Would that work?" Driscoll quickly agrees, clearly not having heard a word he said. She gets up and walks out of the room before the giggles kick in. Soul Patch starts giving instructions to Lispy Skip about reallocating people, but Special Agent Breck wants to talk about how Driscoll "can't focus. She shouldn't be running this place." Like that's news. Skip wants to give Driscoll more time (which is nice of him, considering Driscoll's reaction to his mother's death). Soul Patch, the one guy in the room who doesn't actually work there, puts a quick end to the discussion and tells everyone to get back to work, rolling right over Special Agent Breck's suggestion that they tell DaD what just happened.
Driscoll, meanwhile, has just gone to find herself a quiet corner to weep with joy.
