Storyline

Power goes straight to Cyril's head. He consigns Archer to the same prison where Juliana was imprisoned, then deposes and imprisons Calderon. Cyril forces Juliana to marry him and Cherlene throws a fit. So, Cyril promptly imprisons Cherlene but she carries more than a musical key. Cherlene, Calderon and Archer escape and head for the rebels at the airport. They sidetrack at the zoo to make a new friend. One makes dinner. Cyril dances at his wedding. Krieger emerges from the basement: his clones created a nerve gas missile set to detonate which Krieger cannot stop. Lana heads for the airport, where Archer and Cherlene are being held by the rebels. Lots of stuff starts to break... including Lana's water!

Trivia

Title Explained- A filibuster in the context of foreign policy, is someone who engages in an (at least nominally) unauthorized military expedition into a foreign country or territory to foment or support a revolution. The term is usually used to describe United States citizens who fomented insurrections in Latin America in the mid-19th century (Texas, California, Cuba, Nicaragua, Colombia). Cyril's coup also mimics the most famous American filibuster, William Walker, who proclaimed himself President of Nicaragua in 1856.
