We begin this episode with the traditional "brick of exposition." And, as has also become traditional this season, it's delivered in the form of a news broadcast.
Lennox wants President Palmer to look at this folder from his Trapper Keeper.
Graem tells his thugs it's his job to worry. All that worrying must be why all his hair fell out.
Apparently, "The Company" always keeps cement mixers parked near large open holes just in case they need to bury someone.
"Dammit!" says Jack. TWICE! That's two drinks! "In the thigh, Dad, the THIGH! How am I supposed to question him now?"
Set up a perimeter around Graem's house. That's another drink!
Rita wants something from the vending maching. This is the most significant development in this particular sub-plot in several episodes.
Darren McCarthy says they'll have the new engineer "within the hour." That's code for "as the exciting cliffhanger that ends the episode." It's also cause for another drink. Can anyone see straight anymore?
Morris needs to run a program to convert this Magic Eye image into a picture of the mysterious "engineer."
Marilyn and Graem are fighting, and Boy-Kim is not at all happy about it.
Jack is ready for Dry Cleaning Bag Round 2 with Graem.
Holy crap! Jack just said "nuclear" correctly. I think maybe that's a drink too.
More family members are popping up -- this time Morris' brother. Looks like season six is definitely exploring similar themes of "family" like season three did.
... and I have nothing snarky to say about the following scene. Jack's interrogation of Graem was totally kick-ass. Best scene so far this season, I think. Especially that Jack's father doesn't have to say one word to pull him back from the brink.
Oh, yeah... Walid. I didn't even recognize the "bandage-faced guy in the box" when we came back from commercial.
Sandra says that Walid is the bravest, most principled man she's ever known. I guess she didn't think much of her dead brother David.
And now, the purpose of the whole Walid plot is revealed. It's a catalyst to keep Wayne on the straight and narrow.
Morris is leaving. I think we all know where he's really going.
Please welcome the Vice President. Seems he's none too happy with the way the President does business. Maybe he'll open a rival saloon... er, uh, country... a little bit down the road... er, coast or something.
Looks like Darren McCarthy is going to be meeting Fayed in person next episode. Place your bets. Is McCarthy going to get paid, or get shot? Anyone want to speculate on the over/under for this?
And Dad is an evil megalomaniac. Who apparently likes Austin Powers, because he ends up turning on his own son because he's "not quite evil enough" or something.

★DrHeimlich It's your news?
poor Morris. he's as good as dead. that guy might as well have shot him right there. I can't believe they will convince him somehow to reprogram 4 mega deadly weapons. the best he can hope for is to play along and stall until Jack can find him, but that's a long shot at this point. poor Chloe (again...)
Jack's Pa is one evil dude. doesn't killing your kids go against some kind of inate human nature thing? but I'm still trying to figure out what exactly Graem and Pa were up to if they wanted Jack to escape? or why didn't dear 'ole dad kill Jack at the cement mixer scene? he could have dumped all three bodies into the cement-hole...hmmm, I hope it all makes sense later...
