Key Moments:
- The chopper carrying Fayed lands at the location of the rest of the nukes.
- A beat to shit and depressed Morris walks back into CTU and heads to medical. Jack soon follows and we get the long shot of Jack walking through with everyone stopping and staring. Bill tells Jack about Gredenko and asks him to question Phillip. Jack takes a moment to stop at Chloe’s desk.
- Phillip is in the morgue deleting information from Graem’s phone. Jack arrives to see Phillip standing over his son’s body. Phillip gives Jack shit about how Jack’s torture killed his son. Jack asks him about Gredenko and after stonewalling him Phillip says he will contact some of the company executives to see if they know anything.
- Chloe tries to make Morris feel better but he can’t get over the fact that he armed Fayed.
- Phillip calls Liddy and tells him to get a team together to find and kill Gredenko.
- Jack and Bill meet to discuss their lack of leads and the death of Graem. Jack admits to everything he did but yells at Bill because he told him he couldn’t handle the job anymore. He doesn’t know how to deal with the fact that he killed his brother. Bill being Bill offers to cover it up but Jack wants to accept the consequences.
- Assad and Wayne are working on the speech Assad will give to the public. A call from Daniels comes in and Assad listens in as Wayne stands his ground against Dainels’ attempt to get Lennox’s plan through. Afterwards, Assad warns Wayne to keep an eye out for the people around him.
- Of course, Lennox is walking down some dark hallway of the bunker to meet with Reed in some sort of boiler room. Lennox wants Reed to explain what he is proposing but Reed won’t give any names and says Daniels is not involved. Reed asks for Wayne’s itinerary for Assad’s speech, which Lennox agrees to get.
- Jack meets with Marilyn who is still not too broken up with her husband’s death. She offers to help and visibly twitches when Jack mentions Russians. Phillip sees Jack take Marilyn somewhere more private. She tells Jack about tailing Graem a few months ago and saw him meet some Russians. She doesn’t remember the address but tells Jack she would recognize it if they retraced her route.
- Phillip talks with Marilyn and she tells him everything she told Jack. She asks him to watch Josh when she leaves with Jack.
- Bill sends a tact team and Milo with Jack. Why Milo? Well, someone needs to be put in danger but not killed.
- Phillip tells Marilyn that he wants to take Josh out of CTU and will bring him back to his place.
- After Jack and crew leaves CTU, Phillip calls Liddy and tells him to set-up a house in the area Jack is headed to.
- While on the road, Marilyn tries to get Jack to open up. We get some back-story on Jack's fallout with his family; basically something happened and Jack joined the military instead of entering the family business. Phillip calls Marilyn with threats. He wants her to take Jack to a specific address or Josh dies. After the call, Phillip tells Josh that they’ll hang out at a hotel until the streets are clear from the bombing.
- Victor is loading targets for the nukes while Gredenko explains that they are using the Muslims as scapegoats.
- Marilyn leads Jack to the address Phillip gave her. They arrive and Jack and his team prep quickly and head out. Marilyn stays behind with Milo. They burst into the house and find nothing … well Jack spots a bomb. He dives out of the window and the house blows up. Milo gets Marilyn into the tactical van and drives off. They are pursued and have their tires shot out. They crash into a wall and Milo grabs a gun and uses a grenade to blow the van to cover their escape.
- Jack wakes up to see wreckage everything.
Ridiculousness:
- I don’t care what year it is; I will always be excited to see Russians angry with America and still trying to win the Cold War. This should never get old.
