Day 5: 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Characters Introduced:

• Schaeffer (Timothy V. Murphy): Nathanson’s man that Erwich is meeting so he can ship the canisters out of LA.

Returning Characters:

Nada

Key Moments:

• Erwich loads the canisters into a van that they have marked as SWAT, which gets them past security.
• Evelyn finds Martha sprawled out on her bed and calls for help.
• Curtis finds Erwich on the security footage. He and his team move into the hangar Erwich was in. They find the big hole and the empty container. Curtis spots some dead rats and calls in the chemical people to figure out what was stored there.
• Erwich meets up with Schaeffer about getting the canisters back to Russia.
• Logan walks in to find Martha’s paranoid ramblings sounding even more paranoid. He leaves and talks to Walt who suggests sending her back to the nuthouse. Logan agrees to institutionalize his wife.
• Nathanson updates Walt and tells him to deal with Jack Bauer. Walt says he has man on the inside of CTU.
• Curtis has found out that there was military grade nerve gas in the hangar.
• Walt calls Spenser to get the hitter into CTU.
• Lynn asks Audrey to question Diane about Jack.
• Jack gets the long shot of him reentering CTU for the first time since his “death”. Of course, he walks straight to Chloe to see how she is doing because she is the only one that matters. Lynn updates him and says he is not under arrest but would like his help tracking the nerve gas. Bill actually talks to Jack to see how he is doing then tells him that Audrey is in the building.
• Audrey and Diane have their awkward conversation. This is almost made worthwhile when Diane says that she “accepted Jack for who he was” to Audrey who dumped Jack when she saw the real Jack. Jack walks towards the door and Audrey is unable to hide her reaction. She leaves the room to talk to Jack. They talk about Jack’s fake death and Audrey tells him that she doesn’t blame him for Paul’s death. But he was responsible?
• Walt tells Evelyn to pack Martha’s bags.
• Spenser is acting shady in a tech room when Chloe walks in to apologize for how she has treated him. He walks out and she awesomely says “damnit, why do I that?” Then she gets it together and snoops what Spenser was doing. She tells Edgar to call Bill because Spenser has been naughty.
• Spenser gets Walt’s man past security and leads him to a computer to download files on Jack. He walks out of the room, failing to recognize that the guy is assembling a gun from his toolbox.
• Martha wakes up to see Evelyn packing her stuff and realizes what is happening.
• The CTU redshirts walk up and drag Spenser to a holding room. Bill and Chloe double team yell at him.
• Logan comes to collect Martha but figures out that she has made a run for it. Pierce puts Secret Service into motion.
• While Jack and Lynn discuss what is going on, CTU medical calls to say that Tony is awake and wants to talk to Jack.
• Edgar brings Bill what Spenser was doing, tracking Jack.
• Jack walks into medical but when he moves to talk to Tony he spots the doctor reaching for a gun on a reflective surface. A sweet hand-to-hand fight takes place. It ends with scissors to the neck. Bill walks in to warn Jack but switches to tell him about Spenser. Jack wastes no time by walking to interrogation and showing Spenser an image of the dead hitter. Spenser says he is there on orders from the White House and Walt Cummings. Bill and Lynn try to tell Jack how hard going after Walt will be but Jack says he is not apart of CTU and will go get Walt on his own.

Ridiculousness:

• There is literally no reason given for why Lynn wants Audrey to interview Diane. This is just 24 wanting Jack’s last 2 women to circle each other and act uncomfortable.

Running Totals:

Mole: 1 (12)

• Technically Spenser thinks he is some sort of Internal Affairs agent but his actions make him a mole.

Jack’s body count: 1 (110)

• Jack stabs a dude in the neck with scissors then slams them home for good measure.
