Cats predicting death / Colored pee / Starkwood

In tonight's episode of House, there was a patient with green pee after having seizures! She says that a cat predicted her death! She faked some earlier symptoms, or so they thought. ("Quick... give her some attention in the next eight seconds!") The patient started coughing a lot while describing her stepson Timothy's choking death to House! Later, she described her urine as BROWN... um, oops. House attacked her superstitious beliefs while she insisted that something was going to happen to her. Wilson tried to experiment on her, haha. They found spider veins on her back, which might not explain spasms. Says that the cat is right, and it's not Cushing's! House played a prank with cranberry juice, heh. Wilson said the cat was trying to seek warmth from the dead people, instead of predicting death... haha, I dunno. Turned out to be something about her appendix, and not a superstition. Science and logic and reason win out against Seventh Day Advent beliefs, House concludes. HAHAHA. Next week's episode is from the patient's perspective, heh.

Bill took one for the team, and so did Juma. Jack committed yet another GTA. Luckily, he found a Macbook. Morris wanted to know where his wife was, and Janis sent him to the conference room. She explained that Chloe has been arrested, and Morris was stupefied. Jack called Renee and sent her the files. Good thing he happened to find that Macbook, huh? Renee seems unsure about whether or not to help him, but in the end, she can't resist. Jon Voight went into overacting mode as he vehemently tried to justify his heinous actions. Seems really out of place, what with the whole aristocratic and arrogant attitude. Apparently, he didn't like the fact that his assistant seemed to be having second thoughts about their operation. Not sure what's causing the sudden crisis of conscience for the assistant.

Apparently, Quinn worked for some kind of Blackwater-type place called Starkwood. I wonder if they're related to Tony Stark from Iron Man. Larry Moss knew that Renee talked to Bauer. He wanted Janis to access her phone records, and log into her system. Apparently, Mr. By-the-Book doesn't have a problem with eavesdropping. Ethan (Warden Norton) came in and Olivia gave him the stink-eye. Real mature, Olivia. He admitted to his part in the Burnette fiasco, and the President is less than thrilled. Renee was about to leave, but Moss stopped her in the middle of the hallway. Renee stuck up for Jack, and that only pissed Moss off even more. He put her in holding as well. Renee, Chloe, Sean Hillinger (Billy Walsh)... lotsa holding cells!

Jack paid a visit to the Senator in a nice little townhouse. Looks like public life had been good to him. Jack had a letter-opener in his hands, which was enough to scare the Senator. Hey, he tortured some guy with a towel in Season 1. Imagine the damage he could do with a letter-opener. Jack told the Senator that he was framed for the day's events! President Taylor gave a statement. Meanwhile, some reporter hit Ethan with some knowledge, and he immediately suspected Olivia. They had a heated confrontation, and Ethan is in some serious trouble. Janis said she couldn't crack the code, and Moss decided to use Morris as leverage. He threatened to send Chloe to prison for 15 years unless Morris cooperated. Guess extortion was okay with Moss too. Morris, of course, folded like a house of cards, just like he did when Abu Fayed tortured him into building that detonator for the suitcase nukes. Of course, Morris decrypted the message in, like, five seconds. Chloe was upset at Morris, but Morris told her that she's sacrificed enough for Jack.

The Senator tried to cozy up to Jack, and tried to convince him of the error of his ways. Jack tells him that, of course he had regrets. He regretted losing his family. He regretted having to sacrifice innocent lives. He regretted that the world needs people like him. The Senator maintained that, despite his exhaustive / intensive / comprehensive / all-encompassing investigation into Starkwood, he's uncovered no evidence of wrongdoing by them. Of course, Jack figured out that Starkwood was evil in a few seconds, as he discovers information about Starkwood's biochemical weapons program that was used in Sangala under the supervision of General Juma. The Senator was convinced of Starkwood's evildoing, and he is now Jack's friend. He vows to protect Jack and make things right. Wow, talk about a 180. Stockholm Syndrome much?

The cops were at the door, and the Senator went to open the door with Jack's blessing. However, it was really John Quinn, and he killed the Senator. The President wanted to hear what her daughter had to say, and she had an ace-in-the-hole. She produced the name of a producer who will swear that the leak came from someone else. Jack was bleeding, and Quinn followed the trail of blood. Quinn saw a house, and noticed that there was blood on a doorknob. He went with his guns blazing, but naturally, Jack wasn't in there. Instead, he was outside and he used a bulldozer to level the house.

They had a pretty good fight, and Jack showed his knife-throwing skills by stabbing him, and then demonstrated his home-run power by whacking him with a 2x4. Quinn was dying, and he told Jack that the weapons were already there. Jack then found the address conveniently listed on Quinn's phone. How very helpful and thoughtful of him to have that address already on his screen. Moss was just getting to the Senator's house (under the impression that Jack murdered the Senator), and he changes the order to shoot-to-kill. Man, he really is angry about that whole Renee thing, isn't he? Meanwhile, Jack calls Chloe / Tony for weapons and surveillance packages.
