The Veep Is A Creep
Updated 2007-03-30 17:00:00
Kiefer learns that the Veep is planning a nuclear retaliation against Mideastia for his crappy drone landing. This is too aggressive even for Kiefer, so he resolves to find Gredenko and Fayed in the next hour before that can happen. Luckily, CTU is able to trace a phone call from Gredenko to a guy who's been using his Rain Man brother to get through nuclear facility firewalls. So then Kiefer uses Rain Man to set a trap for Gredenko. He fells really bad about it, though. At the White House Bunker, Karen convinces Sandra Palmer to screw the risks and let the doctor wake Wayne up so that they can get the Veep back on his leash. As for the question of whether Nadia was set up, a tech from Division -- who has some shady history with Doyle -- finds proof on the drone pilot's computer that she's innocent. He acts all sketchy about it, secretly handing it over to Doyle, who secretly hands it over to Morris. It's complicated, but when it's all over, Doyle knows who his real enemy is, and it isn't Milo. Milo's too busy putting the moves on Nadia anyway. When Gredenko finds himself in Kiefer's clutches, he offers a deal: Fayed in exchange for amnesty and a promise not to be returned to Russia. While Kiefer's pondering that, Wayne manages to wake up without dying, and calls off the Veep's nuclear strike from his hospital bed. But the Veep's not ready to give up, and resolves to have Wayne removed from power. Maybe he'll catch a break and somebody else will come along to blow Wayne up again.
