CTU. Soul Patch is sitting at his new desk at the Kiefer Kube, wallowing in sadness. Bitchelle passes by -- what does she just "happen" to be doing up there? -- and stops. "Are you okay?" asks Bitchelle. Soul Patch informs her that he just found Spawn. "Did Kiefer have a chance to say goodbye?" asks Bitchelle. Soul Patch is all, "Yeah," and then it's time to change the subject real fast to the latest information gleaned from the analysis of Syed Ali's things. According to Bitchelle, they de-encrypted the hard drive and found a recording of a conversation that took place months ago in Cyprus. "Conversation between who?" asks Soul Patch. "Syed Ali and high-ranking government officials from these three countries," says Bitchelle, pointing to her papers so that we, the viewers, can't see what "countries" they're talking about. Okay, it was cute at first not to name the country that has suspected connections with the Second Wave. But now that there are more unnamed countries with connections to the Second Wave being brought into the mix, it's time for them to name the countries already. Either just have it be Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan, or make up some country name like they did on The West Wing. But don't be just pointing to your notes, Bitchelle. We need a name. Plus I'm too lazy to come up with more two names even half as good as Fauxraqistan. Soul Patch looks at the report that Bitchelle is holding, and reads the names of the two other countries to himself. "So what we're saying is that 'these three countries' not only knew about the B-O-M-B," says Soul Patch, "but they bought it and supplied it to Syed Ali?" Bitchelle nods. Soul Patch asks her if she's sure about the translation. Bitchelle vouches for the translation's authenticity for the most part. Soul Patch exhales through a pair of pursed lips and orders more Whatever Technology tests done on the tapes to confirm the identities of the four men. Bitchelle is on it.
Well, Soul Patch has been the director of CTU for less than one hour, and already he's using speed dial to call the president. A female secretary answers the phone and puts Soul Patch on hold for a few seconds when he asks to speak to Palmer. However, according to the closed captioning, "Novick" is speaking the secretary's lines. While Soul Patch is on hold, he looks down at the floor and sees Bitchelle and Lesbo-Carrie having a discussion. They seem friendly enough, but Bitchelle is making these horizontal slicing motions with her hands as if she's saying, "Hey, I thought I told you not to play with my breasts while we're at work." It's all coming together for Soul Patch right now. He's got his own office, the president takes his calls, and he's on the verge of a potential threesome.
