Key Moments:

• Tony walks up and breaks down the hopelessness of their situation to Larry. Another batch of Starkwood soldiers arrives, this time including Hodges. Voight goes into full theatrical mode and gives Larry 5 minutes to leave. Renee looks to Jack for another option. Jack finds out about Knowles and calls him. They talk about what is going on and Knowles says he might know where the weapons really are.
• Stokes and Hodges discuss the possibility of drawing on federal agents.
• Jack talks to Tony and Larry. He needs Tony to stay behind. They need a diversion so Larry drags Seaton towards the chopper and gets a rifle butt for his trouble. Tony sneaks into the warehouse at that moment.
• Tony meets up with Knowles. Tony calls for satellite support but Jack can’t answer because he is starting to break down. Renee answers and Tony starts moving.
• Taylor talks with Jack. He believes a surgical airstrike will destroy the bioweapon.
• Tony has reached the location and Jack has identified a warehouse that has been shielded. The door is locked and Janis needs to crack it. A truck drives by and Knowles shows himself to buy time. He starts arguing with them until Tony gets through the door. Jack falls to the ground with a seizure.
• Hodges is told about Knowles’ whereabouts. He tells the guard to take him to his office and wait for his arrival. Chapman tells him the weapons will be ready in a half hour.
• Olivia responds to Dellao’s blackmail by sleeping with him. She is a woman and this is 24.
• Dr. Macer gives Jack an injection to treat his seizures. She tells him to continue to inject himself. Of course, we find that there is an experimental treatment using the stem cells of family members. Jack declines this option and walks out. Jack and Renee return to the floor and tell Tony to hurry because more guards are coming. Tony uses Jack’s Day 2 wall crawl neck snap on one of them.
• Tony dresses in Starkwood gear and heads deeper into the warehouse. He rides the elevator with Chapman but plays it cool. He tells the FBI what he is seeing then transmits images of the weapon. Jack confirms it and Renee leaves to inform the military. Tony is told he has 10 minutes before the airstrike.
• Hodges meets with Knowles. They both deliver speeches and Hodges wins when he brains Knowles with a whiskey bottle and tosses him over the ledge. Seaton calls with an update on the government’s strike plans. He also says they have 3 missiles ready and Hodges tells Seaton to call the President.
• Olivia finishes up with Dellao and tells him that she has recorded their session and will send it to his wife. Nice lady.
• Taylor and the Cabinet watch as the airstrike approaches Starkwood. Hodges call and wants to speak with Taylor alone. He tells her to call off the strike. She declines so he tells her that he has 3 missiles loaded with the bioweapon. He wants a face-to-face meeting in the White House.
• Taylor runs back to the Cabinet to abort the airstrike.
