Out in the living room, Graem's wife Marilyn is watching the news, which shows the mushroom cloud now leaning to one side on its stem so that it looks like the world's biggest comic-strip thought-balloon. As the brothers Bauer are leaving, she asks Graem what's up, and he tells her that they're off to find their dad. He tells Marilyn to stay home with Josh, and promises to be back ASAP. Marilyn gazes into the camera, wide-eyed, as if to say, "Behold the startling contrast of my blue eyes and raven hair! Am I not the most exotic creature you have ever seen?"
Outside the house, Kiefer gets the address of McCarthy's office from Graem and calls it right in to Chloe at CTU, telling her to send two field teams to wait for him there. (I thought this was a plot hole at first, but we'll later be reminded that field teams are plainclothes agents, not the armored tactical teams who are currently riding the jet streams over northern Valencia.) Irritated, Graem bitches at Kiefer for selling out his family. Considering that Kiefer just finished killing one of his few friends a little over an hour ago, this new source of guilt doesn't seem to get to him too much. It's 11:11:02.
11:15:25. In the CTU Situation Room, Milo's running a briefing on the search for Fayed, which isn't going so well. Morris complains that the way Milo is going about it takes too long. Milo bristles, but Buchanan suggests narrowing the search parameters by assuming that Fayed is moving away from the fallout cloud. Morris points out that Fayed will have to be monitoring the fallout, and Milo realizes that means "he'll have technology in the on position." Yes, like a radio or a TV, both of which are broadcasting nothing else. Still, everyone gets to work with renewed purpose. As the briefing breaks up, Chloe tells Buchanan what Kiefer's up to, and that Kiefer wants Buchanan to call him. Chloe also mentions that the CIA is looking for Gredenko in Moscow, in case anybody still cares. Doesn't sound like Gredenko did anything wrong, aside from hiring Kiefer's family to do something important.
