Characters Introduced:
Returning Characters:
- Mandy (Season 1 episode 2am – 3am)
- Jack wakes from his heart attack and tries to restart the SUV. When he struggles with that and can’t undo his seatbelt, Sherry makes a break for it. Jack is able to convince her to go through with the sting of Kingsley.
- Brian hands Mike the data on Kingsley.
- Mike big dogs Chappelle into supporting Jack.
- Chappelle turns to Tony and Michelle for help. Tony smelling weakness says they will help if all charges are dropped. Sadly he won’t get this same deal next season.
- Jack carjacks a nice man who was offering to help him! He does say thank you before driving off, which was nice of him.
- Kim and Kate arrive back at CTU. Kate is told that Bob and Marie are in the house. She meets her father and joins him while he stares into the abyss that is Marie Warner’s eyes. I love the set up of the glass room and solitary chair for the chained Marie to sit in.
- Jack wires up Sherry and gets Tony to connect their operation to the President.
- Jack and Sherry discuss the very real possibility that she is going to die her. She asks him to tell David that she is doing this for him. She moves into the coliseum, while Jack continues to clutch his chest.
- Mike brings David into the conference room to listen to the feed with Prescott. David is not happy that Sherry is involved.
- Sherry walks into the stadium, Kingsley arrives with his thugs and sniper, and finally Jack sets up in the stadium.
- With very little effort, Sherry gets Kingsley to hand over the recordings and admit that the Cypress recording was a fake. Jack asks for permission to move in. Kingsley signals the sniper, but Jack got to him first. Then Jack takes out the man guarding Kingsley. Kingsley bolts and in an awesome moment Jack scream of “RUN SHERRY!” echoes throughout the empty stadium. He takes 3 more out from his perch before running to catch up with Sherry. On their way out, a thug jumps him and we get the first great Jack Bauer hand-to-hand fight. Jack breaks his neck by wall crawling with him in a headlock. Jack has another heart attack and slides to the ground. Kingsley slowly walks up on him, Jack has no more bullets, Kingsley raises his gun, but the CTU chopper sweeps in and takes out Kingsley and saves Jack. Jack passes out.
- Prescott calls off the bombing.
- Max is notified of Kingsley’s failure and says he is moving on to Plan B.
- Because this is how the American government works, Palmer is immediately reinstated as President. Prescott and the cabinet tender their resignations but David is better than them and doesn’t allow them to quit. He says they won’t make the same mistake again. David tells Jenny to setup a press conference immediately. Then we get the scene that nearly makes up for this shitty plotline. David thanks Mike for coming through at the end but then fires him for not supporting him in the first place. You can see how much this hurts David and you can see the devastation Mike feels for failing David.
- Tony gives Chappelle shit for sitting in his chair. But since Chappelle is Chappelle, he takes his sweet time walking out of the office.
- Kate and Kim arrive at the coliseum. Kim and Jack hug and have a nice moment of father daughter love. Jack is in too much pain and is too happy to even cry. That’s disappointing.
- David delivers his speech to the people.
- Plan B is revealed to be the return of Mandy. She shakes Palmer’s hand and seconds later David looks at his diseased hand before passing out in front of his limo. The final clock is David’s failing heartbeat.
- Brian researched Kingsley for all of a half hour and was able to convince Mike that there was merit to Jack’s allegations. So if one of these jackasses had spent a half-hour this morning maybe we wouldn’t be in this situation?
- Jack the one-man army goes to town in the LA Coliseum.
- Mandy is able to get David Palmer to shake her hand in order to infect him with some sort of flesh eating disease. She gets away without anyone noticing.
