A clip from "NCIS: LA" depicts a fictional cyberattack on the U.S. power grid using PLC malware. This is used to illustrate how entertainment media reinforces fear of cyber warfare. The hosts then pivot to praising the professional "slickness" of State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki compared to her colleague Marie Harf.

The show wraps up with a news item about a massive locust plague in Madagascar and a critique of a terrorism-themed line from the show "NCIS: LA." The hosts invite listeners to the 500th episode on Easter Sunday and sign off from Austin and Silicon Valley. The episode ends with a final reminder of the show's website and donation portal.

Recent episodes of "NCIS" and "Law & Order: Los Angeles" have focused on domestic terror cells and "American Jihadis."
