Episode Report Card M. Giant: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Spy vs. Spy
By M. Giant | Season 5 | Episode 14 | Aired on 03.19.2006
And then it's splitscreen time. Buchanan stands there staring. Hayes gives orders to Slime and another underling. Buchanan stares. The hit squad finds Wayne's overturned car. Buchanan stares. Logan also stares, apparently having just rubber-stamped yet another immunity agreement. Aaron checks his watch nervously. Buchanan finally stops staring, to be replaced by Bierko and his men as they ride through the city in some mysterious conveyance, completely unaware that they just wasted ten million bucks. And Theo is probably wondering whether getting fired as a German spy sets him up for a juicy role as next season's evil mastermind. Or maybe even later tonight's evil mastermind.
At the airport, Collette's on the phone with her lawyers, confirming that the immunity agreement is airtight. And fast, too. Damn! These things come through quicker every time. They must have a stack of blank immunity forms by the Presidential fax machine, right next to the cover sheets. She gets off the phone and immediately starts spilling to Kiefer. And with less than a minute left, it had better be good. She first gives him the address of Bierko's bunker, and says that her source for the schematics was a contact at the Department of Defense. And here's where everyone but Kiefer gets it. One step behind the viewing audience, he asks Collette, "What's his name?" And the answer is, of course, Audrey Raines. Kiefer immediately slams Collette against the wall and furiously says that she's lying. Surprised but not intimidated, Collette tells him, "She sold me the information, Mr. Bauer. Apparently she had a price." Kiefer orders the agents to take her away. He stands there thinking, reevaluating, reconsidering all the times they spent together, working side by side, dating, sleeping together, hanging out in her apartment with her cats Fluffy and CA39A. And then the left half of the screen shows Audrey, with absolutely no idea of the shitstorm that's about to befall her.
