Previously, on 24...
Dana and Cole return to CTU, and Director Hastings says, "If you two weren't the best I've got, I'd fire you!" THEY'RE the best CTU's got? Wow. Dana gets demoted and Chloe is in charge now... because Chloe was just hired by CTU, and she herself was threatened with termination for incompetence not 8 hours ago, so clearly she's the next highest rung on the ladder. Although I am sick of the Dana/Cole storyline, it did bring in the excellent Stephen Root (Milton from Office Space) as the dead-criminal's parole officer. Unfortunately I still think that storyline will just drag on. I also still hope that Dana dies.
President Hassan's daughter is hooking up with the head of security, and we confirm in this episode that he's a bad guy. It was pretty funny that Hassan's wife was giving him shit, saying "How could you arrest him! He's so trustworthy!" and then they find out he's a bad guy, and Hassan totally flashes his wife a "told ya so" look. Hassan is awesome.
Jack spent the whole episode talking to the suicide bomber. Jack says, "I'm gonna tell your mom!" and he does. This is how Jack fights terror this year. No killing or torture, just tattling. They bring in the bomber's mom to try and talk him out of exploding himself, but it doesn't work so Jack makes some great threats. He says if the bomber commits suicide then Jack is going to kill his mom. "You wouldn't!" "I WILL! AND IF THAT BOMB GOES OFF, I'M GOING TO BRING YOUR MOTHER IN HERE TO SWEEP UP THE PIECES!" Best line of the season.
Some of Johan's terrorists trigger a fail-safe, so the suicide bomber does explode, but he tells Jack about Hassan's security guy first. Jack is off to find him, but tells everyone they need to take him alive. First they need to get to Fahrad, and take him alive, but he dies. Then they need to get to the suicide bomber, but take him alive, but he dies. Now they need to get this guy, and take him alive. I bet he dies. Coincidentally, we're on a horrendous 1-kill-per-episode streak.
Bad guys: 1 (suicide bomber go kaboom)
23 kills now for the bad guys. Jack hasn't killed anyone in over three hours. We're on pace for 81 kills for the season. Owen needs to kill 13 people next week to get our projections back to 100.
