Day 1: 5:00 AM - 6:00 AM

Characters Introduced:

  • Mike Novick (Jude Ciccolella): David’s chief of staff and his voice of reason. I heart Mike Novick.
  • Milo Pressman (Eric Balfour): CTU independent contractor who is brought in because Jamey sucks at her job.

Key Moments:

  • Another Palmer and Carl confrontation leads to David firing Carl due to his hatred of cover-ups. Carl leaves David with the information that Sherry knew everything.
  • David moves on to confronting Sherry and for the first time we get to see the steel spined Sherry appear for the first time. David is hit with the knowledge that his entire family hid this from him.
  • Finally thinking straight, David meets with Mike Novick for the first time. Mike tells him to get out in front of the story … family be damned.
  • Jack arrives at the hospital where Janet is being operated on. He gets a few moments with Teri before Gaines calls him. Gaines orders Jack out of the hospital, proves he is holding Kim, and then tells Jack to head to CTU.
  • Janet is saved by the surgeons but when her dad comes to talk to her, she freaks out which would be a problem but fake Alan York only came in the room to kill her anyway. Problem solved.
  • The body Jack found with Penticoff was the real Alan York who is now driving around with Teri looking for Kim. Teri calls Nina telling her this which will definitely lead to good decisions.

Ridiculousness:

  • When Gaines calls Jack, Jack stares straight at Teri and slowly walks backward for about 5 minutes… Teri thinks nothing of this. Then again she is her daughter’s mother.

Running Totals:

Nothing again! 2 weeks in a row, the first season does not know how to fall back on clichés.

  1. MILO. We all thought it was funny to ask whatever happened to Milo, and then they took it seriously and nothing good came of it.

    A president who can't stand cover ups is such an antiquated notion. In the 24 world, mostly.

  2. Cubs! Please don't remind me that I'm gonna have to watch Day 6 eventually.
