Summary
As the press conference continues rolling downhill, Barbara Bishop turns to the Rev. Waldemer for his opinion, obviously hoping for condemnation, but all are surprised. Jeff sees God's hand in spoiling the Muslim fundamentalists plans with not just inferior women, but with prostitutes. His near sermon-like speech is an effective means of returning attention to the hijacking and the heroics displayed on the plane. After that, Will is able to retake control and bring the press conference to a conclusion.
A mere Sergeant, Will is soon showing General Ronstadt how things should continue. Mike Hanneman will be called to bring Sky Hook to the adjacent civillian airport and Will can escort Jennlynn, Mallory and Jeff off base and out of sight.
Will's next surprise is that his off-base hideaway turns out to be C&C's Cajun restaurant, run by a pair of old friends of Jennlynn. Jennlynn talks to Stan to get a substitute for her booth bunny appearance in Chicago. We learn that Jon and Tanisha are inspired by Jennlynn's courage to take the job, knowing Jon's father will likely be there.
As the Chapter winds down, Jennlynn confesses her unhappiness with future plans. Will demonstrates a competence at planning ahead. Learjet Jenn's Fantasy Ranch takes another step towards likelihood.
