• Hey look it’s the first use of the Cisco teleconference technology that will pop up over and over again through the final seasons. Suvarov already knows about the circuit. Daniels doesn’t back down because they were Russian nukes on American soil in the first place. Lennox says that they only way Suvarov can know this fast is because of a leak.

He gets out of holding takes out the guard and grabs his gun. He gets into medical and knocks out one of the doctors and tosses the other one to the floor. The doctor pulls the alarm as Jack takes Audrey out of medical. Even Milo gives Nadia shit for not letting Jack talk to Audrey in the first place.
• Jack brings Audrey into one of the CTU dark dungeon rooms and rips the access pad off the wall. He starts talking to Audrey. Nadia is outside the door and can’t get in. Audrey finally looks at Jack with something like recognition. Jack keeps talking and she squeezes his hand. Nadia is having the door burned through. CTU gets through the door but Jack holds them at bay. Audrey says the word “Bloomfield” and Nadia miraculously grows a set and tells the doctor to take a hike. Jack gives Audrey to Doyle and freely walks back to holding.

• Audrey is back in medical and James Heller is talking to her. He wants to speak with Jack before taking Audrey out of CTU. Doyle says that Audrey’s clue led them to some sort of plant where she may have been held.
• Heller meets with Jack and blames him for everything. He wants Jack to stay away from his daughter. He tells Jack that he is cursed and everything around him ends up dead. NOT CHLOE MOTHERFUCKER!
