Day 8: 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM

Characters Introduced:

• Agent Burke (Jamie Martz): One last CTU agent introduced just to have someone at the UN that is not helping Chloe and Cole.
• UN Secretary General (Eriq La Salle): This casting feels more random than usual because it was the final 2 hours of the show and he gets about 3 minutes of screen time.

Returning Characters:

None

Key Moments:

• Arlo calls Chloe with the good news that Jack has slaughtered a room full of Russians. Cole is approaching Ricker’s address and Ricker gets a security alert. He starts erasing his systems while Cole starts looking through walls with future gadgets. Cole knocks then shoots the hinges off the door. They have a standoff. Cole tells Ricker that in 15 minutes all agencies will be notified of his existence. He then tells him that he is trying to save Jack. He puts his gun down and starts to walk out. Ricker calls out to stop him.
• Chloe arrives at the UN to the news that Meredith Reed has been arrested. Burke greets her with whines about Cole being reinstated. Cole calls Chloe to tell her that Jack is targeting Suvarov. She tells him that Meredith has been arrested and the evidence is gone. They talk about what Jack is planning to do and how they can stop him.
• Logan tells Pillar that it is time for Taylor to know everything. Taylor excuses herself from Woods to take Logan’s call. Logan tells her that President Suvarov ordered the murder of Presient Hassan. Jack is listening to this conversation too! Taylor is pissed, but not enough to stop her awful decision-making.
• Logan hops in a new limo heading to the UN. Pillar gets an update from Eden on Jack. They talk about how soon they will find Jack at the same time Jack appears in Pillar’s backseat. Jack gets his weapon and tells him to drive. He also tells him that he knows about Suvarov.
• After meeting with Taylor, Dalia meets with Kayla who tells her that Meredith Reed called her with allegations about the Russians.
• Cole arrives at the UN. Chloe tells him that once they get evidence they will send it out to every news outlet in the word through the internet. This should prevent any cover-up. Chloe tells Burke that Cole is in charge.
• Pillar is passing all the checkpoints with Jack hiding in the backseat. He tells him to pull into a specific building and they park in an underground garage. When Jack gets him out of the car, Pillar thinks Jack is about to kill him but Jack tells him to stitch his wound! Fantastic. Pillar questions Jack’s actions and Jack tells him that Taylor gave up her right to judge when she covered it up. That makes Jack judge, jury, and executioner. He puts Pillar on his knees and the begging and pleading starts. Jack demurs and just knocks him out. Jack just screams in pain afterwards.
• Jack tapes up and locks Pillar in the trunk of his car.
• Dalia can’t get in touch with Meredith and Jamot says her editor can’t find her either.
• Taylor is sitting alone with her horrible decision-making when Dalia arrives. After a bit of speechifying by both sides, Dalia finds out that Taylor knew about the Russian involvement with Omar’s murder. She is royally pissed off but Taylor threatens to blow the shit out of her fake country. Seriously what the fuck is wrong with you Taylor?
• Jack moves through the empty building avoiding security patrols. He places some spy cams in a hallway and breaks into a utility room. The room has a sweet view for assassinating. Jack sets up his security and sniper perch.
• Dalia takes her righteous anger to Jamot but he tells her that is it worth calling Taylor’s bluff?
• Jack is scoping out his sniper angles.
• Chloe tells Cole that Arlo found an image of Jack in one of the buildings. She is heading there to talk Jack down but if he doesn’t hear from her in 20 minutes to secure Suvarov.
• Jack is in the middle of recording his final thoughts and it is hinted that they are to Kim.
• Dalia arrives at the last second to greet Suvarov with Taylor.
• The UN Secrety General introduces the peace treaty with Taylor, Suvarov, and Dalia standing behind him.
• Chloe finds the utility room that Jack is hiding in and opens the door. Jack yanks her against the wall and tells her that she shouldn’t have come after him. Chloe says that he is her friend and she had no choice. Jack says, “neither do I” and chokes Chloe out. He quietly tells her “don’t fight it.”
• Logan is watching Suvarov’s speech when Jack calls and says he has a rifle scoped on him. Jack plays the recording to prove that Logan lied to him. He tells him to call Suvarov and get him up to Logan’s room.

Ridiculousness:

• It’s hard to describe what happened early in this episode. Cole finished his conversation with Chloe and then a car commercial happened with no relation to the story. Usually these things happen during chase scenes, but this was a way to highlight the video screen that makes backing out of tight spaces easier. And we got to watch Cole back out of a parking spot. Hooray?

Running Totals:

Jack’s Million-Dollar Dream: 1 (13)

• In the end, Jack had to put Chloe to sleep before the show ended.
