At 7:16:28, Saunders thinks, Palmer thinks, Kiefer pilots, and Spawn and Soul Patch come down from his office together. Kiefer's going to be pissed when he gets back; that's almost four and a half minutes they were up there unaccounted for. Spawn stops by her desk before leaving, and Potato Face wants to give her a whole spiel about how she doesn't think Spawn should go, and field work isn't "learn-as-you-go" (which might be news to Special Agent Charlie Brown), but she's behind Spawn a hundred and ten percent and she hopes nothing bad happens to her. Spawn, irritated, snaps at Potato Face to get to work on prepping for the mission that she's going to be coordinating. Potato Face says, "I like your energy, Spawn. Use it." Hee! God help me, I might be starting to enjoy her. Spawn breaks stride as she's walking away, but doesn't dignify Potato Face's advice with a response. Potato Face asks Adam the Woman Hater to send her the info she needs to get ready, but Adam is too busy eavesdropping on Special Agent Charlie Brown out in the field. It's 7:17:37. I don't know why it's so important for Adam to do this, other than to create a smooth transition into the next scene.
Which is Special Agent Charlie Brown asking Mrs. Bill from Hill whether he was showing any symptoms earlier in the morning. Somehow Special Agent Charlie Brown got back to CTU, changed his clothes, scored himself a full-head respirator mask, and got himself to Bill from Hill's house in thirty minutes. No full hazmat suit for Charlie Brown, though; it's not like he's covered with fresh wounds or anything. Mrs. Bill from Hill is confused as to why Special Agent Charlie Brown and the two similarly-attired agents behind him think Bill from Hill is sick, and Charlie Brown has to explain about how Bill from Hill was at Inn Fection earlier that morning. Awkward. Mrs. Bill from Hill finally picks up the clue phone that's been ringing right in her ear for the past forty-five minutes: "He did it again, didn't he?" Oh, boy. "I hope he did get something. I hope that he dies." Mrs. Bill from Hill starts to freak while Charlie Brown tries to calm her down and his sidekicks prevent her from leaving. Before she can get good and wound up, though, a hazmatician appears with a bloody facial tissue that he found in the bathroom wastebasket. The blood is tacky, which means it's fresh, which means that even Special Agent Charlie Brown is able to conclude that Bill from Hill is now Ill Bill (tm Roachford). Special Agent Charlie Brown gives one of his men an order to contact every ER and urgent care center in a thirty-mile radius. Considering how fast Ill Bill moves, I'd think the guy could just step outside the front door and holler for him.
