Key Moments:

• Tony is awake and Bill lies to him about Michelle being very much dead. Tony wants to talk to Jack.
• A shocked and awed Martha tells Pierce a little bit too much about Charles.
• Bierko sends Ostroff after the keycard.
• Jack calls CTU about being bombed by Henderson. Chloe tells him that Henderson’s home computer is transferring data. Jack tells Bill he will go alone since Henderson thinks he is dead.
• Curtis is looking over the bodies from the motorcade ambush and finds a set of blueprints. There is a time written on it; 6 pm.
• Since no one will tell him anything about Michelle, Tony drags his ass out of the hospital bed and accesses the data himself. This means he sees Michelle’s dead body on the computer screen.
• Martha and the Suvarovs arrive back at the retreat. Martha is pissed at Charles.
• Edgar identifies the blueprints as a LA hospital.
• One of Bierko’s men has the canister and is dressed as an orderly.
• Jack is outside Henderson’s home and spots his wife through the window.
• Curtis talks to security at the hospital and has them evacuate the building.
• Jack enters Henderson’s home and breaks everything down to Miriam. He even pulls his gun on her to show his sincerity. He just wants to get into Henderson’s computer.
• Martha thanks Pierce personally … in her room … alone. Mike walks in for the soap opera moment.
• Russian intelligence has passed along information on Bierko. CTU gets to work.
• Chloe can’t find anything on Henderson’s computer, but she does find a secret drive that she can’t get into. Miriam doesn’t know the password so Jack tells Chloe she will have to hack into it.
• Hospital security finds Bierko’s man. Curtis and his team go after him.
• The canister is set with a 10-minute countdown. Curtis spots and kills him when he draws his gun. They find the canister and pop on their gasmasks.
• Chloe tells Jack she will need half a day to crack the secret drive. Henderson arrives home and Jack cracks him upside the head. He has him cuff himself and puts him on the couch next to his wife. Henderson talks shit since he taught Jack everything. When Miriam says her husband is innocent, Jack opens his briefcase and spills a shitload of cash onto the table. Henderson talks shit about how Jack is going to shoot him in the leg and then move on from there. Jack thinks on this and shoots Miriam instead! Even this doesn’t break Henderson, so Jack decides to bring him to CTU for some chemical torture.
• Curtis finds the remote timer and now knows he only has 1 minute. He grabs the bomb and makes a run for it. He places it in the containment unit with seconds to spare.
• Ostroff thankfully executes Jenny and her boyfriend. He calls Bierko to tell him that he now has the CTU keycard.
