Recap – FlashForward 1.05 "Gimmie Some Truth"

The majority of tonight's episode takes place in Washington D.C., where Stan, Mark, Demetri and Vreede have gone to testify in front of a congressional hearing about the blackouts and ensure they keep receiving funding for their Mosaic investigation.  There we learn that Stan used to be friends with the President and he's very adept at playing the political game (he has some skeletons in his closet but he's not averse to using other people's skeletons to get what he wants).  We also meet Senator Joyce Clemente, who's a super-b*tch to Stan and to Mark.

While in D.C. the boys get attacked, which is coordinated with an attack on poor Janis back in L.A.  Earlier in the episode it's revealed that Janis is gay, which sort of conflicts with her vision of being pregnant.  At least, that's what her current girlfriend thinks.

In the FBI field office in L.A., Janis and Al also uncover some mysterious towers in the Somalian desert which were built shortly before the incident in Somalia.

Olivia has a chat about Mark's alcoholism with Aaron and later gets an annonymous text message saying that Mark was drinking in his flash.  She is very displeased.
