Characters Introduced:
- Jane Saunders (Alexandra Lydon): There is always an innocent on 24. She just doesn’t understand the world that Jack Bauer lives in.
- Agent Forrester (Maria del Mar): Just another CTU agent who just stands around while Jack runs things.
Returning Characters:
Key Moments:
- After the masked men in the van take Chappelle’s body, Jack calls Tony and can barely say the words. Tony tells him that they have found Saunders’ daughter. Jack says that they will have to do a plain-sight swap so Saunders won’t be alerted.
- Chloe provides Tony a list of CTU agents that can pass for Jane Saunders, when none are close enough she provides a second list. Of course, Kim Bauer is at the top of the list. Chloe tells Tony to ask Jack but Tony goes straight to Kim. She agrees.
- Chase geared up in his alien suit interviews Cole’s wife, quick cut to Cole bleeding all over a local pharmacy.
- Jack arrives back to CTU and has no interest in hearing Tony out on his plan. Jack physically assaults Tony and threatens everyone else in the conference room. Kim professionally cries and pleads to her father that it is her choice. I did like that Jack’s admission that Kim works there because he is keeping her safe not that she is qualified.
- Cole takes his bloody nose to an emergency room. While filling out forms, he sees a newscast about the hotel that informs him of his imminent demise. He starts yelling and is quickly isolated.
- Saunders next job for the President is a list of all the identities of foreign nationals working as American spies in the Middle East.
- Jack, Forrester and Kim are heading to Jane’s job. Kim gets fitted with a sweet wig.
- Jack quarterbacks from the CTU mobile center, while an agent spills a drink on Jane. When she goes to clean herself in the bathroom, another agent drugs her and Kim walks out of the stall. She changes into Jane’s clothes and heads out into the library so she can do what she does best, pretend to work.
- Jack uses some sweet smelling salts to wake Jane up. He starts by saying they need her help to get in touch with her father. She claims this is illegal … HA! You don’t know 24 Jane. Jack leans in and breaks down the situation to her. She asks for a lawyer and Jack just laughs. Jack smirks when she says she doesn’t have a way to contact her father. He knows she is lying. She cries out for help, but Forrester interrupts Jane’s screaming because a sketchy dude is trying to talk to Kim. Jack instructs Kim to walk over to some bookshelves to get away from him. Kim hangs out in an aisle but the camera pans away from her and CTU loses sight of her. When a guy asks Kim for help, she starts talking to him and turns her back. He pulls a gun and drags her away. Jack breaks out of the room. Kim disarms him. She tries to pull her gun but there is a struggle. Eventually the gun goes off and the guy falls to the ground.
Ridiculousness:
- Really? We needed to find a reason to put Kim into the field and this is the best they could come up with?
- Why did Jack give Kim the gun before they got on the chopper? Was he so used to Kim getting into trouble that he thought he should arm her sooner rather than later?
- Adam identifies all the potential people that Cole infected. I only mention this because after this it will only be mentioned in passing whether the crazy ass virus was kept under wraps. So if you want to, you can believe that the 24 universe turned into The Stand between season 3 and 4.
Running Totals:
Jack and Tony are friends?: 1(8)
- Jack takes Tony down for enlisting his daughter.
