Once again, I have waited until the last minute to do my 24 recap. This time, my only excuse is watching it when I was drugged out of my mind (see previous post), then trying to come out of my purple haze, then getting addicted to Mafia Wars on Facebook. So, get over it.
So last week, Colonel Dubaku was trying to bomb a Skyline Chili in Ohio or something. Turns out it was really a nuclear plant in a probably fake town in Ohio. Everybody in that town is about to die, except for two things. 1) The guy who was the dad in My So-Called Life (aka plant manager) risks his own life to redirect the overflow, or whatever. He dies from… I guess, radiation poisoning? This makes Janeane Garafaolo super sad.
Also, 2) Jack and Soulpatch sneak into Colonel Dubaku’s Bad Guy Hideout and screw up his chili-hating plans. In fact, Dubaku is pretty pissed at some other anonymous henchman who was supposed to kill Soulpatch and Jack in the previous episode. But because he failed, Jack and Soulpatch are now able to bust the Motobos out of the hideout. The CIP gets destroyed (it seems) and Dubaku runs away to his crappy DC apartment. Where we meet his adorable, naive girlfriend. Looks like Colonel Dubaku is going to have to take a break from his world domination plans tonight – his girlfriend made dinner plans!
OH. And most of the episode is spent trying to call the First Gentleman’s now dead Secret Service dude. Finally, the other bad Secret Service agent comes in to dead girlfriend’s apartment and takes the First gentleman away in his car. Madame President is like, man who would have thought being a president was so HARD?
THANK YOU–I was trying to place Chili Plant Manager and couldn’t. Ms. Danes is SO my girlfriend.
