Day 2: 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

Characters Introduced:

  • Roger Stanton (Harris Yulin): The head of NSA and even shadier than the man he replaced. Does Harris Yulin ever get to play a nice guy?
  • Agent Richards (John Eddins): CTU Agent who mastered the stern look while the stars of the show do all the talking.
  • Miguel (Innis Casey): The man who has the misfortune to be Kim Bauer’s boyfriend. This is made even worse by the fact that he actually listens to the nonsense she says.

Returning Characters:

  • Nina Myers (Final episode of season 1)

Key Moments:

  • Tony leaves CTU to question Reza about his connection to Syed Ali.
  • Roger Stanton arrives to replace Rayburn and immediately disagrees with David’s decision just like Rayburn would have!
  • A soon to be dead Paula provides Michelle with the password to the CTU data.
  • David meets with the Ambassador of one of the unnamed countries and agrees to an exchange of intelligence data against Roger and Lynne’s objections.
  • Kim calls Jack while he is debriefing at CTU, Jack tells her about the bomb and her need to get the hell out of LA.
  • Nina arrives at CTU and is given the full-chained convict walk right past Jack.
  • Mason interrogates Nina but all he gets is her demand of a full pardon for any help.
  • Palmer agrees to Nina’s demands but has the courtesy to call Jack and tell him this personally. Jack’s pain over hearing this is palpable.
  • Jack figures out that George was exposed to radiation and uses that as leverage to be the one who Nina will deal with. This is another great Jack/Mason scene.
  • The helicopter carrying the Ambassador of blank country is blown out of the sky.

Ridiculousness:

  • Of course Kim’s boyfriend is a sketchy looking musician.

Running Totals:

Kim Does Something Stupid: 1 (13)

  • Instead of going to the cops and having everything straightened out, Kim convinces Miguel to help her kidnap Megan from the hospital.
