Characters Introduced:
- Chase Edmunds (James Badge Dale): Jack Jr. My favorite of the Jack Bauer wingmen so count the hours until he is no longer physically able to perform his job.
- Ramon Salazar (Joaquim de Almeida): Mexican gangster put behind bars by an undercover Jack. Not too happy with Jack. It was never denied that the actor was related to Tony Almeida.
- Luis Annicon (Carlos Gomez): The prosecutor working with Jack to get Ramon to reveal all his evil business partners.
- Dr. Sunny Macer (Christina Chang): The first of two doctors that will show up during the day to keep telling us the badness of the Cordela virus.
- Adam Kaufman (Zachary Quinto): After 3 years they finally replaced Paula with some one competent. The one drawback is that he hates women all women. Don’t touch Spock’s stuff.
- Chloe O’Brian (Mary Lynn Rajskub): My hero. Jack’s personal analyst, assistant, and only real friend he will have in this life or the next. Contains no social skills whatsoever.
- Wayne Palmer (D.B. Woodside): Brother to the president who will take part in many of the more ridiculous political tomfoolery on 24.
- Hector Salazar (Vincent Laresca): Ramon’s younger brother who is running the family business in his absence.
- Claudia (Vanessa Ferlito): Ramon’s significant other. Doesn’t like the shadier side of his business and will spend most of her screen time complaining about something.
- Gael Ortega (Jesse Borrego): He was a bit of 24 trickery where they made it seem like he was the mole but in fact was working undercover for Jack and Tony.
- Kyle Singer (Riley Smith): Some jackass kid who decided to become a drug mule to make some money for his family.
- Helen Singer (Lucinda Jenney): Kyle's sick and pathetic mother.
- Dr. Anne Packard (Wendy Crewson): David Palmer’s doctor with benefits.
- Oriol (Josh Cruze): Claudia’s father who is ordered around by Hector to Claudia’s dismay.
- Linda (Agnes Bruckner): Kyle’s girlfriend who should probably reevaluate her choice in men.
- Jack Bauer (Final episode of season 2)
- Tony Almeida (Final episode of season 2)
- Michelle Dessler (Final episode of season 2)
- David Palmer (Final episode of season 2)
- Kim Bauer (Final episode of season 2)
- Aaron Pierce (5am – 6am of season 2)
- Instead of a “Previously on…” Day 3 begins by replaying Mandy’s attempt on Palmer’s life. Then the words “Three Years Later” flash across the screen.
- Shady guys are playing around in the back of a van. They pull up to the National Health Services building, drop off a body, and in a slight bit of overkill blow up the back door so people come a running.
- We are introduced to a quite dapper Jack Bauer walking through a prison. Trailing behind him is his partner Chase Edmunds. They meet up with Annicon to discuss the deal that is being proposed to Ramon. We get the first hints of what Jack did while undercover with the Salazars. Ramon is brought in to sign the deal but he takes the time to make cryptic comments then stabs his lawyer in the throat with the pen. That is not legally binding.
- Look at the pretty new CTU version 2. The floor is expanded with more analysts doing stuff in the background. Plus there is an expanded balcony with actual room to walk around. Later on, more rooms will be showcased in the back.
- Tony is running the house nowadays. We get a conspicuous shot of his and Michelle’s hand so we spot the rings they are now sporting. Adam pops up to complain about Chloe, which will be a running theme. Macer calls Tony to tell him about the body that was dumped at her doorstep.
- David Palmer arrives at the site where he will be debating Senator Keeler later in the day. His brother Wayne is now at his side taking over the role that Mike Novick once held.
- Jack and Chase head back to CTU and we get Chase’s first attempt to talk to Jack about what happened in Mexico. They are interrupted by a call from Kate Warner. She and Jack were together prior to his Mexican adventure but now not so much. Nice cameo.
- We find out that Hector Salazar is behind the dumping of the body at Health Services and Gael is the man updating him.
- When Jack arrives at CTU, he goes into his office and starts tweeking.
- Chase sneaks up on Kim in a darkened serving room and instead of snapping her neck and ending our nation’s suffering, they start making out. Damnit. To make a bad situation worse, Kim wants to tell her father about her and Chase. Chase smartly wants no part of this probably because he doesn’t want to be killed on sight.
- After all the talk of who is in control of the virus, we are introduced to Kyle Singer while is staring at a bag of white powder. He seems to sweat a lot but that could just be that his family’s financial problems prevent them from having air conditioning or even a fan.
- After an outstanding scene where Jack fires Chloe for not filing the way he wants (who knew he was so anal retentive), Chase plays peacemaker and Jack apologizes. A ransom call interrupts the heart to heart Jack and Chase were having. Ramon must be released in 6 hours or America will feel the wrath of the super virus. Jack points to Hector and Michelle identifies the dead body as a snitch dealer.
- Kyle is revealed to be a part of Hector’s plan.
- David and Anne share a forbidden love in the eyes of Wayne.
- Chase walks in to find Jack banging at his keyboard like a monkey and takes another swing at talking to Jack about what happened in Mexico. Lots of hints but he never says it outright, Chase does tell him to get it together by any means necessary before leaving the office. And by any means we are talking the white horse. Jack breaks out his gear and preps his arm, but Kim ruins the day by calling him. Jack can’t enjoy the sweet release of heroin now, so he flips out and rips apart his desk and tosses the paraphernalia at the wall.
- Kim Bauer is qualified to work as an analyst at CTU? Did her sterling work as a live-in nanny put her resume to the top of the pile? Or how much pull does Jack really have? Can he get his favorite coffee table a job?
- Lucky for us this Cordela Virus kills in less than 24 hours. If it took too long, we wouldn’t have been able to see the victims die horribly within the timeline of this season.
- Jack is addicted to heroin. HA!
- Kim hacks Adam’s computer to prove she deserves her job. If I wanted to watch sci-fi/fantasy I would watch sci-fi/fantasy.
