Day 3: 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM

Characters Introduced:

  • Peel (Lobo Sebastian): The prisoner leading the riot. Decides to have fun instead of trying to escape.

Returning Characters:

Nosiree

Key Moments:

  • The debate between Palmer and Keeler begins and continues through the rest of the hour.
  • Within 5 minutes of opening the cells, the prison is now on fire. Jack and Ramon try to sneak around the madness. They eventually take out 2 guards and don their outfits.
  • Jack’s foolproof plan is fooled almost instantly when the prisoner mob beats the hell out of Jack and Ramon. They are dragged as hostages right past Chase.
  • Adam and Kim work together to identify the truck that Kyle was kidnapped in.
  • Peel rounds up all the captured prison guards and convinces the prisoners that they can’t escape so why don’t they play a little game of Russian roulette. Jack is up first against a random guard. When they guard is too chicken to play, Jack convinces him that he is dead anyway so go ahead … bam!
  • Michelle sends Chloe to sift through Jack’s stuff to find out why he is doing what he is doing. Chloe demurs for 5 seconds but really who wouldn’t want to root around the brain of Jack Bauer?
  • Jack moves on to the second round and his opponent will be Ramon Salazar. Even when he explains who he is, Peel puts Ramon in the chair. Jack grabs the gun and without hesitation pulls the trigger. And he dies, ending the series. Ramon is handed the gun next and after making not so veiled threats pulls the trigger and hears the click. Chase and his team are in the walls watching and waiting for a moment to strike. Jack spots Chase and makes eye contact with Ramon and looks at Peel and gets the nod from Ramon. Jack turns the gun on Peel and Ramon dives at another prisoner. Chase blows through the wall at the same point causing a distraction that allows Jack and Ramon to escape everyone.
  • Chloe finds Jack’s discarded needles. She has the drugs tested and they come back positive for heroin.
  • Adam tracks down the truck that Kyle was kidnapped in.
  • When they reach the exit, Jack needs to improvise to get Ramon past the swarm of CTU agents outside the prison. Screw it; Jack just takes Ramon hostage and walks out the door. We get a fantastic sequence where Jack and Chase just yell at each other as Jack walks Ramon to the helicopter.
  • CTU locates and secures Kyle and Linda.
  • Michelle relays this to Chase who begins yelling and waving at Jack but a helicopter is really loud so Jack takes off.

Ridiculousness:

  • We get the first real Chloe cannot interact with humans scene. Kim walks in before she can get out of Jack’s office and being Kim does not allow Chloe to do her job in peace. Chloe responds by saying “it is unfair that she is being put in this position.” When she is done berating Kim, Chloe tells her that dad’s on heroin.

Running Totals:

Jack’s million dollar dream: 1 (3)

  • 2 weeks in row! Jack uses the choke to take out the prison guard.

Jack loves America not Americans: 1 (6)

  • Poor prisoner guard; Jack just needed some clothes.

Jack’s body count: 1 (44)

  • Jack cheats at Russian roulette and kills Peel instead of himself.

Chloe drives a sane man crazy: 1 (2)

  • Chloe’s confrontation counts even if Kim wasn’t sane to begin with.
