Day 2: 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Characters Introduced:

• Paul Koplin (Al Sapienza): A private investigator who helps Kate look in her father’s company’s files to find the link to Ali. May or may not die a horrible death.

Key Moments:

• Since he has been detailed for hours now, David sends Sherry in to deal with Ron Wieland in the hopes that she can convince him not to go to the press with all that has happened.
• Nina is constantly questioning Faheen in Arabic trying to get the location of the bomb from him. At the same time she rips a gift card that she lifted from Faheen’s store into a jagged edge and positioned it for later use. There is also a cute little scene where Jack and Nina confer and it is just like the old days.
• The van transporting bomb blows a tire and they are helped by a nice American civilian. The niceness convinces the driver to not murder everyone in the city and he tries to run away. One of the other thugs in the van shoots him before he can get away, but before he dies the driver shoots that guy. This leaves Omar as the last man standing and responsible for getting the bomb to wherever it needs to go.
• When Tony begins interrogating Bob at CTU, Bob admits that he is a consultant for the CIA.
• Kim calls Jack to cry about her situation at the same time that Nina is questioning Faheen on the plane back to LA. While Jack tries to do 2 things at once, Kim yells at him and Nina slices Faheen’s throat with the gift card. Nina tells Jack that she has the location of the bomb and wants to be taken to San Diego. Mason agrees to the new deal, while Jack threatens Nina.
• Mike interrupts David and Lynne’s conversation to show him a news feed of Ron squealing about what was done to him.
• When Kate and Paul leave the Warner house to continue their investigation, they are kidnapped.
• After guilting the hell out of Nina with a speech about how great a person Teri Bauer was (we never saw that!), Jack stands up at the same moment the plane is hit by some sort of missile.

Ridiculousness:

• So the first couple of hours of the day included a bunch of shady dudes working in a warehouse then loading something into a van and leaving the warehouse. All of this occurred in the tiny 24 windows when they transitioned scenes. All of sudden 6 hours later we are now introduced to guys driving the van. Where the hell have then been driving all this time?

Running Totals:

Kim Does Something Stupid: 1 (15)

• Kim has a horrible habit of calling Jack when he is in the middle of shit and this time he distracts Jack from seeing Nina make her move on Faheen.

Human Beings Still Eat?: 1 (5)

• Palmer sits down to a late lunch early dinner? Who knows, but its weird.
