Day 1: 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM

Characters Introduced:

We are deep in conclusion time, so there is no time for introductions.

Key Moments:

• Andre and his hired goons bust into the facility causing Jack to try to escape while still keeping Victor in custody.
• When Andre catches up to Jack there is a hostage standoff with Jack and Victor against Andre and DeSalvo. Jack drops his gun; Andre drops DeSalvo. You're smarter than that Jack.
• The Drazens escape the facility before CTU can arrive; they also C4ed their escape route so there is no hope of following them.
• Chappelle rips Mason apart for the Drazen situation. Mainly that the government didn’t care if Drazen escaped, since he was never officially detained.
• Once they make it to their escape vehicles, Victor gets ready to execute Jack. Jack is able to save his life by telling him that Alexis is still alive.
• On her way to CTU from jail, in a twist, Kim is kidnapped.

Ridiculousness:

• There are multiple scenes in this hour where Teri just starts yelling at people in CTU because they are not keeping her informed. I love that she demands answers from the secret government agency that her husband works for. Since Mason is awesome, he is able to get rid of her without actually telling her anything.
• After spending most of the hour in jail, Melanie learns her lesson when Kim tells her how bad her day has been. Melanie feels bad and tells the cops the truth so that they will finally contact CTU and free Kim. That easily makes Melanie one of the top five villains in 24 history.
