Grandma is now 89! / I'm going to kill my expendable girlfriend!

Grandma's birthday dinner at Gingeri Chinese Restaurant (at Lansdowne) went pretty well: after complaining that Steph's birthday card was all in English, Grandma laughed at it. At least Steph captured that moment on the camera! My sibs bugged me about Chinese Eric, although chemistry is something which is cool - we're just good friends, is all. I had to remind Mom that Chinese Eric is single now, heh. I guess it's true that Jon doesn't offer up his friends like that, heh. Steph said that Terrence is coming to home - Jon says that he can be a replacement, but Mom said she'd see about Terrence staying over. At least four months' notice is better than four MINUTES' notice! "Hey, sis! Where are you? In BC? Great! I'm at the airport!" ".... okay...." Talked about Uncle Andre, Citrus, Sam, guest lists, numerous family dinners, alone time, Cecilia's sister Angela getting married, age differences in relationships, Liz (Alan L.'s wife) being pregnant and due in August ("You gotta excuse Liz - she's a little fat right now..."), dou mew, SLB, reasons for not dating, videos, people having soft spots for me, wedding stuff, setting boundaries, corruption, work, talking well to people, interview techniques, and more.

Got home to watch 24, and found that President Taylor and Ethan were in a hospital room - Dubaku had been seriously injured in a crash, and he went into cardiac arrest while Jack was interrogating him, and then Jack wanted the paramedics to open him up right afterwards. "NOW, even though he could die if you can't get him to the hospital." Then Jack called Larry and let him know about a metal disc - then Sean warned Erica about that in the washroom. "I'm not going to jail! You made all these promises, like how you're going to leave your wife!" "I'm just going to crash all the servers and violate a bunch of safety protocols, don't worry!"

Renee said that Jack shouldn't try to pretend that Marika's death never happened, but Jack IS trying to be efficient! Erica and Sean were up to nothing GOOD, like bypassing the system - someone called Sean and said that the database files were in the FBI's possession! Larry wanted Chloe to reverse the crashed files, but that wouldn't happen anytime soon. Sean said that he and Erica had to get out of the mainframe room after they bypassed the servers, but he killed her while he was kissing her (expendable), and injured himself to make his story look good. Larry and Chloe burst in, and Sean blamed everything on Erica. Later, Sean said Larry should have trusted him - Larry is trusting the wrong person. Chloe then recovered Dubaku's files, and Sean wasn't impressed with that news! Janis then tried talking to Sean, but he was having none of it - very suspicious, indeed! Then Larry had a confrontation with Sean in the hall, yay!

Renee had to tell Marika's sister Rosa the news of her death - not good! "She was all I had, and I trusted you with her life! You didn't care about anything! YOU KILLED HER!" Then Jack told Renee that Marika's death was necessary for the greater good, so Renee wanted to know if Jack even felt emotion when his wife was killed. He offered her comforting hug even when he was saying that they had a job to do: not sure if that went well. Allison told her daughter that Henry was seriously injured, because the bullet went through his lung. The daughter wanted to go to the hospital right then, even if it was dangerous: "It took Dad getting shot for you to finally want to talk?" Not a good time for that right now!

Bill told President Taylor that Jack Bauer was among the list of people to thank, and reminded her that the Senate hearing was reconvening the next morning. Tony told Jack that there would be another attack, even if Dubaku provided a list of government people - "You were going to turn yourself in, remember?" "The senator's chief of staff Ryan is involved in the planning - this is real, and I'm not lying to you!" Then Ryan got called away - very telling camera angle right at the end! Next week's edition is two hours long! "The target is the White House - move the President NOW!"
