Day 3: 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM

Characters Introduced:

• Bruce Foxton (Mark Rolston): Wayne’s cleaner. Thankfully, will provide one of the better moments of an atrocious storyline.

Returning Characters:

None

Key Moments:

• I feel better every day; CTU has no problem tracking down Tony by traffic camera and satellites.
• Tony admits to Jane that he is giving her back to her dad in exchange for his wife. Jack runs him off the road. Jack disarms Tony and they argue over Tony acting exactly like Jack. Eventually Jack convinces him to trap Saunders.
• Keeler shows up to blackmail David out of the presidency. Thanks for that.
• Jack listens in on Tony’s call with Saunders. Tony declines the first location on Jack’s orders. When Saunders starts threatening, Jack hangs up the phone. Tony flips out and mistakenly brings up Teri, which leads to Jack getting violent. Before Tony can drive off, Saunders calls back and sets up the exchange for under the Sixth Street Bridge.
• In a phenomenal scene, Jane asks Jack why her father is doing this. Jack uses the moment as an opportunity to lecture Tony about the job. It all comes down to the sacrifices that need to be made for the job. Saunders couldn’t live with it and Jack is wondering about Tony.
• Michelle fakes a nosebleed to terrify her guard. She breaks out and steals the guard’s gun but can’t find an exit or a clean signal. How the hell was Saunders making his calls?
• While Jack and Chase are setting up the Saunders’ ambush, Michelle calls and says that she is free. In a classic moment, Jack tells her to give herself up so they can trap Saunders. Tony reacts poorly and screams bloody murder at Jack. Jack has enough of this and tosses Tony to the ground and pulls his gun. Michelle agrees to the plan.
• Saunders’ crew arrives at the bridge site. Michelle is lead at gunpoint towards Tony. Tony sends Jane out even though Saunders hasn’t shown himself yet. Jane realizes what she is walking towards and freaks out. Saunders jumps out of the car to call to Jane and Jack sends CTU in. Crazy ass shootout goes on, while Jack chases down Saunders. The chase ends up in the same spillway that Jack had his heart attack in last season. Saunder’s helicopter pins Jack down, so Chase calls in an airstrike. Chopper goes boom but getting the location of the vials out of Saunders will not be that easy.

Ridiculousness:

• So Kim tells Chase that he can’t be in the field if he wants to continue having relations with her. That sucks. There are no CTU field agents with families? So pretty much if you want to be like Jack Bauer don’t impregnate chicks or get knocked up.
• Jack never really explains how Tony’s actions differ from anything Jack did during the first season.
• Wayne is going to get his burglary on to save David’s presidency. This shit is asinine.

Running Totals:

Jack and Tony are friends?: 3 (13)

• Jack and Tony scuffle after Jack runs him off the road.
• Tony plays dirty pool and tells Jack he won’t sacrifice his wife like Teri.
• Tony is not happy that Jack is putting his wife in jeopardy.
