Characters Introduced:

• Carl Gadsen (Connor Trinneer): Not so much poor port security man since he was allowing bad stuff to happen on his watch.
• Stokes (Michael Rodrick): The lead Starkwood thug.
• Doug Knowles (Chris Mulkey): Some sort of higher up within Starkwood who does not agree with what Hodges is doing.

Returning Characters:

Not here

Key Moments:

• Larry calls Ethan with the update on Mayer. They argue over getting Jack involved.
• Jack and Tony talk about the Starkwood situation. Jack asks if Tony is with him on this and Tony is extra shady but agrees.
• Henry is recovering and Taylor is talking to him about what has happened. Ethan interrupts to tell her about Mayer and offers his resignation.
• Jack and Tony are outside the port and realize they will need the records to find the container. They jump Carl and just use threats to get him in line.
• Hodges is speaking with Stokes who is outside the port. Hodges tells him to wait a few more minutes for Quinn then move in. Seaton tells him that the board is ready. We then get a Jon Voight scene as he delivers a soapbox speech explaining how Starkwood needs to distance itself from the government.
• Jack is going through the port records and explaining the situation to Carl. Carl doesn’t argue because he agreed to let some guys into the port tonight. He was told that it was stolen electronics. Jack tries to call the FBI but communications have been jammed. Jack and Tony start to get ready because they are here. Stokes calls Carl. Carl gets cold feet but Jack doesn’t have time for it and tells him to get out there. Carl makes Jack promise to keep him safe and Jack does. Tony gives a sigh when Jack does this. Jack wires Carl up and sends him out.
• Carl opens the gate and answers Stokes’ questions. Stokes put him in the car as they head in. Tony tells Jack to forget about him.
• A shitty scene takes place as Olivia gloats over Ethan’s resignation. The minute he leaves she calls Ken and tells him to update the story she leaked.
• Larry starts to realize that the evidence at Mayer’s house doesn’t make sense. He calls Renee who is sitting in holding. He makes a small effort to meet her halfway but Renee still covers for Jack. When he actually pleads for her help, she gives him the name John Quinn.
• Jack and Tony are watching from a distance. Tony says they should get to the car and track the container. Jack won’t sacrifice Carl. He runs after Carl when he is being lead to his execution. Tony tries to talk Jack out of blowing their operation but when the thug lifts his gun he falls to the ground from Jack’s bullet. I love Tony’s annoyance instantly switching to game time mode. The plan switches to stealing the truck. The dead thug is found and Stokes puts his men into motion. The shooting starts. Jack hits the main on the container controls. He starts swinging the container wildly causing it to slam into a bunch of other containers. He regains control and puts it onto the truck. Stokes tells the truck to go and Jack chases after it. Tony starts to make his escape. Jack jumps on top of the moving truck. Stokes captures Tony.
• Jack calls Larry and gives him the update and his location. Some alarms on the container starts going off. Jack realizes there is a leak inside the container. He holds his breath and heads in. Jack turns off the leak and locks the container before breathing again. Stokes arrives with helicopter support and Jack makes a break for it. The helicopter takes the weapon from the container and flies off. Stokes retakes the truck and updates Hodges. Jack calls Larry to tell him what happened and to say that he has been exposed.

Ridiculousness:

• On the surface, I don’t have a problem with Jack being exposed to the bioweapon. But once I thought about it, I know they are going to say how horrible and deadly it is but in the end Jack will survive. Its not that Jack will never die; its more about Jack will never die because of this.

Running Totals:

Jack’s body count: 3 (224)

• Jack doesn’t rack up a huge number at the port.

Damnit!: 1 (13)

• Jack loses the bioweapon.
