Day 2: 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Characters Introduced:

  • Joseph Wald (Jon Gries): The man who gave Eddie his orders and the man that can tell CTU who sold them out. He is also Ben Linus’ dad.

Returning Characters:

Empty

Key Moments:

  • Tony and Michelle are relatively unscathed but Paula is pinned under a shitload wreckage.
  • Although they weren’t inside CTU when the bomb went off, Megan has a seizure outside of the building.
  • When Eddie pulls into a deserted area and calls Wald, Jack pulls his gun and takes all 3 of them out and grabs Wald’s address.
  • After multiple beratings by Tony and since he is going to die anyway, Mason decides to head back to CTU. Also his password is “Hendrix” which is another check in his column.
  • Jack arrives at Wald’s address and gets him to let him in without any problems. While questioning him, Wald’s dog distracts Jack allowing Wald to escape to his panic room.
  • After taking a sledgehammer to Wald’s armored room, Jack gives up and just pleads with Wald to let him in.
  • Mason arrives back at CTU and orders Paula to be brought back to consciousness so they can get the decryption code to CTU’s data. This will almost certainly kill her.
  • After Lynne tells David that it was Rayburn who stopped her from notifying CTU, Palmer fires Rayburn.
  • Jack convinces Wald that he has been used to harm the country he loves, so Wald unlocks the door. He gives Jack the photos taken of his contact and proceeds to blow the back of his head all over the wall.
  • The contact is Nina Myers.

Ridiculousness:

  • While Mason is being read the list of symptoms he will go through before he dies, Tony calls to tell him about the bomb and to generally yell at a dying man. Tony is very sensitive.
  • There have been so many scenes in these first bunch of hours where Kate can’t keep her shit together and freaks out around Reza. This time it happens when Reza takes her for a ride to show him the house he is buying for Marie. Kate is awful at playing undercover.

Running Totals:

Jack’s Body Count: 3.5 (19)

  • Jack takes down Eddie and his team including Eddie when he was driving straight at Jack.
  • The half a point is for Wald’s dog. I’m listing it because usually television and movies go out of the way to protect the dog. Not Jack Bauer, he takes shotguns to attack dogs.
