Day 2: 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM

Characters Introduced:

  • Agent Baker (Daniel Dae Kim): I don’t care about the 6 seasons as Jin Kwon; he will always be CTU agent Baker to me.

Returning Characters:

None

Key Moments:

  • Nina attempts to explain her actions to Jack but when Jack doesn’t give her the satisfaction she’s looking for; Nina just goes with screaming threats. Then in another badass Jack moment, he just gets up and walks away. Jack tells Nina he is dead anyway so shoot him now and blow her immunity. Nina walks into a CTU sniper’s range and is taken down. The rest of the agents rush in and cuff her.
  • Palmer being awesome tells Mike that Nina’s pardon is still on but sends her ass back to LA to ride out the bomb threat with the rest of the population.
  • Before Nina is hauled away, Jack whispers something in her ear that terrifies her. He also notices a coral snake tattoo on one of the dead soldiers.
  • Ali leaves Kate to his torturer to do what he wishes before killing her.
  • Jack tells Palmer about the tattoo. These are American soldiers connected to the NSA and a Col. Samuels (a name that will be said a million times but will never actually be shown).
  • David goes to Roger with this information expecting answers but gets none. A pissed off David meets with Mike and Sherry to tell them that he is going to arrest Roger. They convince him to get proof first. Really? Proof in the 24 universe?
  • Jack’s team advances on the house Kate is being tortured in. When Kate is held hostage, Jack takes him down with a riot shield and a beanbag shotgun. Before he can be questioned, the man kills himself with a cyanide pill hidden in his mouth.
  • After radioactive George Mason tells Michelle to find happiness, she asks Tony out on a date presumably not right now but after the bomb is resolved. I sure hope they live happily ever after and do not end in tragedy.
  • Kate tells Jack that the dead man is not Syed Ali. Jack brings her into the bathroom to remember what she heard Ali said. Kate speaks Arabic so she picked up enough to tip off Jack that Ali went to a mosque to pray.
  • In one scene Sherry provides David with the proof to arrest David, then in a later scene Sherry calls Roger to warn him. Is anyone shocked?
  • In what may be the longest search for files since Milo needed an hour to trace a cell phone, Reza and Richards are still at Bob Warner’s computer when Marie kicks in the door and kills both of them. We get the first instance of Marie Warner’s crazy eyes.

Ridiculousness:

  • In order to prevent getting transported back to LA, Kim and Miguel light a fire in the back of the police SUV. What the fuck did they think this was going to accomplish? Well, obviously, other than probably killing themselves.
  • Kim runs away from the accident into the woods and my hands are shaking knowing what comes next.

Running Totals:

Kim Does Something Stupid: 1 (16)

  • Starting a fire in the SUV as a means of escape definitely qualifies.

Damnit!: 1 (3)

  • Jack screams this when he thinks the man who held Kate hostage was Ali.
