Day 1: 7:00 AM - 8:00 AM

Characters Introduced:

No one new and important shows up this hour.

Key Moments:

  • When Nina calls CTU, she tells Tony to get her Jamey but when Tony hears here lie about Nina’s whereabouts he knows she is the mole. When Nina secretly arrives back at CTU, Tony and Nina lay a trap for Jamey that, thankfully, includes crazy big cell phone headsets.
  • After Jamey is caught, Nina and Tony start in on a little 24 Day 1 interrogation of Jamey. This means they talk really loud and bang the wall to punctuate their point … this is either tame or I've been desensitized. Of course without putting her in danger, Jamey does not crack.
  • Teri is thrown into the shed with Kim. Family reunion!
  • Gaines has Jack pick up a briefcase, which he then sneaks into the Palmer event. Jack meets the fake photographer in a medical station where Jack assembles the gun for him so Jack’s prints will be on the gun.
  • Against Nina's wishes, Tony warns Secret Service about Jack. When Palmer starts his speech, a secret service agent sees Jack and then all hell breaks lose. Jack goes for the agent's gun, which automatically gets Palmer lead offstage. Jack saves Palmer, Gaines flips out and orders Teri and Kim shot, but Jamey relents and sends Gaines a message covering Jack’s arrest. No bullets in the head for the Bauer women.

Ridiculousness:

  • The overly serious Jack Bauer voiceover to start the episode giving the quickest of the quick summary of the series is introduced for the first time.
  • The entire Palmer family has turned on him because he had the audacity to find out about their 7-year murder cover-up. What the hell is wrong with you David?!?!

Running Totals:

Jack and Tony are Friends?: 1 (3)

  • Tony does not trust Jack and rats him out to Secret Service. Boo Tony boo! Always trust in Jack.

2 comments:

  1. Did Nina exposing Jamey as a spy make sense given what's coming? I don't remember now, but I had the impression it didn't feel that way at the end.

  2. It depends on how you look at things. From what I understand turning Nina was not decided until the last quarter of the season. There was always supposed to be a second mole but did not decide if it would be Tony, George, Nina, maybe Milo, etc, until the last moment. So at the time it made sense to turn Jamey in because she wasn't bent at the time. Looking back, none of Nina's actions really make sense which makes sense since all 24 moles were horrific storylines.
