Day 3: 9:00 PM - 10:00 PM

Characters Introduced:

• Alan Miliken (Albert Hall): Douchey old guy in a wheel chair with heart problems threatening the Palmers.
• Julia Miliken (Gina Torres): Alan’s unfaithful wife. What a waste of Gina Torres.

Returning Characters:

• Nina Myers (5pm – 6pm of the 2nd season)

Key Moments:

• The Salazars move to another location where Jack receives Amador’s call. The meeting is in 15 minutes. Ramon gives Jack some meds for his withdrawal; this will effectively end any ill effects Jack will exhibit from chasing the dragon. Ramon and Hector share a fantastic look about how pathetic Jack is acting. Jack excuses himself and goes straight to Claudia and enlists her help in freeing Chase and getting him a phone.
• Alan calls David and wants a meeting with the President sans Wayne.
• Jack and the Salazars meet with Amador and attempt to make payment but Amador says there is a second buyer. This second just happens to be Nina Myers. What a small world?! Nina immediately moves to have Jack shot but Amador calms the waters and is such a smooth motherfucker that he keeps Nina at the table.
• Alan wants Wayne fired cause he slept with his wife. When the hell did this turn into General Hospital?
• Claudia distracts one of the guards so she could sneak in and tell Chase what Jack is up to and that she will free him when she gets the chance.
• After hearing Michelle’s worries, Chappelle brings Tony into a conference room and tests his skills. Not only does he pass with flying colors, he completely exposes Kim as a worthless analyst.
• The auction goes down with Nina outbidding Jack 240 million to 225 million. Everyone parts ways and Jack is heading to his execution. The Salazars pull over into a secluded spot and prepare to finish their deal. Jack starts pleading before he even gets out of the SUV. He works the desperation magic and convinces the Salazars to stay his execution. Ramon ends the hour saying, “the man has more lives than a cat.”

Ridiculousness:

• The entire Alan Miliken storyline can rot in hell. This plotline was so awful that it single-handedly removed the presidential storyline from the 4^th season of 24.
• Why would Claudia tell her baby brother that they are leaving Hector? Did she think he would be great at keeping secrets and not freaking out?
• Michelle takes the word of Kim that Tony shouldn’t be in charge. Michelle should be fired and executed for making strategic decisions based on the word of Kim Bauer.

Running Totals:

Torture doesn’t mean you can’t be creative: 1 (12)

• Salazar’s men like the basics, you know, beatings with shovels.
