Returning Characters:

None

Key Moments:

  • Edgar brings an image of Palmer’s assassin to Bill and Audrey. They stare at the monitor until the image cleans up to show Jack Bauer very much alive.
  • Jack tells Chloe that he needs her help so he can investigate the Palmer crime scene. Derek tries to get away but Jack tells him, “the only reason you are still conscious is because I don’t want to carry you.” That’s how you treat petulant teenagers.
  • CTU begins to work on the Jack Bauer lead over Audrey’s completely legitimate objections. Curtis reveals that Chloe took part in faking Jack’s death.
  • Audrey calls Logan with the news that Jack Bauer was the shooter. Walt hears this and jumps all over Jack as bad man.
  • Nathanson is on the phone with someone saying that Haas is dead and they will be launching within the hour.
  • Chloe drives Haas’ van right past the security checkpoint at Wayne Palmer’s apartment complex. Chloe tracks all the FBI agents on site and Jack heads in. Jack takes out an agent for his sweet jacket. Derek watches Jack with awe. Jack rides the elevator up to Wayne’s apartment without anyone asking him questions. He pauses when he sees David’s body under the blanket. Jack moves into a room with a computer and gets to work. Chloe tells Derek who Jack was before he became Frank. While working on the computer, Wayne walks in and to room. Jack yokes him against the wall and pleads his case. When Wayne still doesn’t believe him, Jack gives him his gun. Wayne can’t pull the trigger and begins to accept Jack’s story.
  • Walt tells Martha that he is looking into the phone call she had with David.
  • Chloe decrypts a file on Wayne’s computer. It is the first chapter of David’s memoir and Jack and Wayne read it looking for the reason why David locked it down.
  • Edgar figures out that Chloe is logged in from Wayne Palmer’s apartment complex. He informs Bill who calls Secret Service.
  • Wayne finds an address hidden in the chapter. Chloe tells Jack that Secret Service is on the move. Jack tells Wayne to keep this a secret and makes his escape. He knocks down multiple agents along the way. He gets back to the van and Chloe tells him the address was actually an employee at an airport. Chloe speeds out of the garage before she is stopped and cuffed. This was a distraction as Jack breaks into a car and drives off with Derek.
  • On his way to the airport, Jack calls Diane and tells her to meet him there.
  • Bill questions Chloe about Jack but she refuses to answer because Bill doesn’t think Jack is innocent.
  • Charles tells Martha that Jack killed David. When she doesn’t believe it, he plays her the phone call she had with David that contained nothing secret at all. He tells her that if she doesn’t take her meds her memory can be affected.
  • Edgar says that there is chatter that the Suvarov helicopter may be a target.
  • Charles refuses to change anything about the Suvarovs arrival.
  • Jack hands Derek off to Diane and tells her to head to CTU. He runs into the airport.
  • The Suvarov helicopter lands safely.
  • Before the Huxley’s can drive off, Derek spots Beresch and his men hopping out of the van. He runs into the airport to warn Jack. Diane can’t follow because a cop stops her. Jack finds the employee but Beresch’s attack distracts him allow the guy to kill himself. Beresch takes over the airport, which now includes Derek.
  • Walt calls Nathanson and tells him that Martha has been taken care of.

Ridiculousness:

  • I’m not okay with Secret Service being completely fooled by the follow that van tactic. Jack should not be able to sneak out the back that easily.

Running Totals:

Jack’s million-dollar dream: 1 (4)

  • Finally, Jack puts an FBI agent to sleep.

Jack loves America not Americans: 3 (16)

  • The FBI agents were just in Jack’s way.

Chloe drives a sane man crazy: 1 (10)

  • Bill gets angrier and angrier with Chloe as she explains that Jack is being framed. She then hands the phone back to the Secret Service agent when Bill starts to yell.
