CTU. Milo The Temp is sitting at one of Jalapeno's thirty computer terminals, munching on dry granola. I think. Apparently, last week, when I identified it as Count Chocula, I was wrong. A close-up confirms that it's granola. Nina comes by to check on his progress. Milo says that he's close to finding the name of the assassin, but for now all he can decipher are some medical records involving plastic surgery. "If it's a shooter, he's probably trying to hide his identity!" says Milo The Temp. Hey, wait! I thought Milo was just supposed to run the keycard through some decryption software. Since when does he get to play cops-and-robbers with the big kids? Especially since they're supposed to be keeping the details of the keycard a huge secret. "Call me when you get a name!" says an unimpressed Nina, walking back to her desk, her arms swinging like a Bob Fosse chorus girl.
At 6:05:26 AM, Theo Huxtable is jogging by the side of the road with what appears to be either a personal trainer or a Secret Service man. Palmer drives by in a limo and has his driver to pull over when he sees Theo. Of course, the limo is being followed by a minivan containing his Secret Service detail, and when he stops, they stop and Main Secret Service Guy runs after him to remind him for the eighteenth time that his life is in danger. Palmer ignores him, catches up to Theo, who doesn't want to talk to him, and announces that he's going to beat Reporter Maureen to the punch and tell their side of the killed-rapist story at the breakfast. "It doesn't matter how the story comes out," says Theo. "Everyone's still going to believe that I killed Gibson." Um, because you did kill Gibson, stupid. But Palmer believes his son when he says it was an accident. He asks him to accompany him and his wife to the breakfast, because he needs to present a unified front to the public. More discussion about the fact that Palmer was rarely around as a father because his political career came first. Keith starts to cry and resumes his run. "Keith, come back!" says Palmer, as they often do on ABC Afterschool Specials. Not that he runs after him or anything.
