Characters Introduced:

• Agent Turner (James C. Victor): The CTU agent that will be in the field for many of the missions Jack will be on during the day. He is no Agent Baker.
• Noah Daniels (Powers Boothe): First James Cromwell now Powers Boothe. This is just phenomenal casting and you just can’t find someone better than Powers when you want powerful but shady.

Key Moments:

• Wayne and Lennox discuss Karen’s resignation. Lennox acts like an asshole and claims she didn’t want to stand in the way of his recommendations anymore. Wayne agrees to take his recommendations to the cabinet and Lennox walks out in a celebratory mood.
• Karen and Bill talk and she tells him about her resignation. After the conversation, she leaves the bunker.
• Graem tells his men to handle his father and brother. Phillip tells Jack that the family business should have went to him not Graem. He apologizes for their predicament. The van pulls up to a construction site and they are walked up to a couple of open graves. Phillip doesn’t kneel down and starts walking towards his executioner. Jack uses the hesitation to grab the other guy’s gun and shoot one of the thugs. Before Jack can question the surviving thug, Phillip shoots him. Jack calls Bill and tells him that Graem will lead them to McCarthy.
• McCarthy calls Fayed and tells him that he will have an engineer for him in an hour.
• CTU listens in on that conversation and Morris works on the corrupt image of the engineer.
• Jack and Phillip arrive at Graem’s house and meet up with Turner and his team.
• In mid-argument with Marilyn, CTU bursts through the windows and Jack rushes in for a standoff with Graem. Graem puts his gun down and is cuffed in front of his wife and son. Jack explains his actions to Marilyn but she is not surprised that her husband is bent. She awesomely yells at Jack that she doesn’t want him to protect Josh since he sucks at protecting people. He sends Marilyn and Josh back to CTU. They walk past Phillip and he doesn’t deny that Graem is involved with the nukes.
• Jack begins Graem’s interrogation. He says he panicked but continues to deny even when Jack uses the loud voice. The monitoring proves Graem is lying so Jack calls for the high-end torture. Phillip sees the CTU agent grab the scary briefcase.
• Milo tells Chloe that Morris’ brother was exposed to radiation. She tells Morris and he reacts poorly and gets up to leave. Milo and Chloe convince him to finish the image first.
• Jack explains to Graem what is going to happen. He is going to be injected with some magic substance that will only inflict pain. Graem continues to deny. Jack calls for a low dosage and walks away white as a sheet as Graem starts shaking and screaming. Jack hugs him and begs him to answer. Graem continues to deny so Jack keeps upping the dosage. After Jack reaches the highest level before killing him, Graem starts talking but it is about his involvement in the killing of David Palmer, Tony Almeida, Michelle Dessler, and everything else last season. He tops it off by saying he is the same as Jack. Jack flips out and kicks Graem’s chair over and pulls his gun out. He screams for another injection and starts screaming that he is going to kill Graem. Phillip walks into his field of vision and Jack comes to his senses and calls everything off.
• Jack and Phillip have a heart to heart over what is happening. Phillip apologizes to Jack for his family. Jack asks his father to go to CTU when Graem is transported. He needs to go back to tracking the bombs.
• Morris has finished his program and put it on autopilot. He leaves CTU to go see his brother.
• Lennox is talking with Vice President Daniels about the plan they believe Wayne is about to sign off on. The cabinet meets to talk about Lennox’s plan. Wayne flips it and continues to feel that the plan goes against the Constitution. He shuts everyone down.
• CTU watches the image clear up and hey look it’s Morris. Bill and Jack call Morris and tell him to get back to CTU. Before Morris can do anything, McCarthy cuts him off and kidnaps Morris. He drives off and calls Fayed and tells him he will deliver his engineer in 15 minutes.
• Phillip asks the CTU agent for a minute alone with his son. We get the big revelation that Phillip was in on the whole thing. Graem is proud of himself for standing up to his big bad brother. Phillip doesn’t think he will hold up at CTU and decides the better option is to kill his son.

Ridiculousness:

• You read that right; Phillip Bauer killed his own son to protect his company that has already been implicated in the day’s events. God this season is stupid.
