The Super Bowl is over, and 24 is the only thing I have to fill the void until baseball season starts. I could be in trouble. And yes, it's sad that the headline "Jack kills someone" constitutes as news this season. At least this week I get to put a few things in caps because some cool stuff happened.
First, the stupid side stories. Hassan is still taking a page out of the old Jack Bauer handbook by arresting people and threatening them with their family's lives. He even just arrested his daughter's boyfriend, who was one of Hassan's security guys. Good for him. Dana Walsh helps the criminals into a police locker warehouse and they beat up a guard and get away with some money. Good for them. They drink and drive because they're evil. Joseph is sad about his dead brother. A priest will bury him. Great. Now to the main story:
Vladimir drinks vodka and cackles because he's Russian and evil. He calls people asking about the uranium and actually reaches Sergei, the Russian who has the uranium, but Sergei says, "I don't have no uranium!" Vladimir wants to give up on the uranium hunt, but Renee desperately tries to get him to make more calls to his fave 5, and Vlad throws a few punches at Renee. Renee doesn't like this SO SHE STABS HIM REPEATEDLY IN THE FACE WITH A BREAD KNIFE! I like psycho Renee. She's probably not going to kill too many more people, but she's had the top two shocking moments of the season.
Jack hears her screaming as she kills Vlad and runs in, and Renee turns around and stabs Jack right in the guts. A Russian bad guy runs in and Jack PULLS THE KNIFE OUT OF HIS GUTS AND THROWS IT INTO THE BAD GUY'S NECK! Then Jack shoots another bad guy through the wall, and takes a look at his bloody guts. It's okay, though, because he has the commercial break to patch himself up.
Back from the commercial, Renee is sad. She probably needs a shower. Jack tells her everything will be okay. She says she's a wreck and has nothing, and Jack says, "You have me!" Awww. Then some more Russians show up and Jack puts Renee in a closet and purposely gets captured by the bad guys because he thinks CTU will track them and they'll find the uranium. The Russians leave and CTU shows up and Renee says, "Are you following Jack?" And CTU says, "What, we didn't see anyone enter or exit the building!" And do you know why?
Do you want to know WHY they didn't see any of the bad guys enter or exit? Because Ben inadvertently made a great call last week.
The terrorists...
are in...
the sewer.
YES! Good thing Renee flushed her waterproof earpiece! Now they'll be able to track Jack and save the day! I cheered when Renee stabbed Vladimir. I cheered when Jack pulled the knife from his guts and flung it across the room into a bad guy's trachea. I jumped off the frickin' couch and shouted in joy at the TV when CTU was trying to figure out what happened. THE TERRORISTS! ARE IN! THE SEWERRRRR!!!!!
And on that happy note, here's the death tally.
Renee: 1 (Vlad. Knife in the face!)
Jack: 2 (2 Russians. Shot one, knife in the neck for the other)
Atta boy, Jack! He's up to five kills now, and hopefully this is the snowball that starts the killing avalanche. Jack will probably get all tortured and stuff, and then it's killing time! Renee gets her first kill, and agent Ortiz and the bad guys stay put with 3 and 17 kills, respectively. We're still only on pace for an 89-kill season too, but I imagine that will pick up soon. Today was a good day.
