Dana and agent Ortiz bury the dead criminals in the swamp. I really like that they aren't spending any time on that story any more. President Hassan's daughter runs off with her boyfriend. The U.N. building is evacuated because of the potential bomb, but President Hassan says he won't leave the building until his daughter is found. President Hassan knows that his daughter is somewhere out there in the city with her boyfriend, so I don't understand what difference it makes where he is if they do find her. It makes perfect sense to madam President though.
Director Hastings actually mans up and let Renee go free. Jack calls Renee and says "Hey, baby, wait at my apartment, I'll bring home a pizza when this day is finally over." That's sweet. I'd rather have crazy Renee in the field killing people but I guess she's just going to wait at Jack's place. Maybe she'll take a shower.
Meanwhile, Jack and CTU storm the compound! Guns and bullets and explosions and death and... actually, no one is there. All the bad guys are hanging out at a Denny's. No cheap kills at all. The bad guys shot Fahrad Hassan before taking off, and then CTU showed up. Jack decides to trick the bad guys by releasing a statement on the news that Fahrad is still alive and being transferred to a hospital, hoping this will draw the terrorists out. They put sunscreen on his nose and a beer can in his hand and he looks totally alive! Owen, the 14-year-old CTU agent, looks nervous about this plan. Jack says, "Don't worry kid, I guarantee you'll live through this!" I thought Owen was toast.
A suicide bomber shows up to kill the already dead Fahrad, but Chloe remotely shuts off the detonator. Owen lives. The suicide bomber jumps out of the hospital window and Jack chases him. Originally they said Fahrad was on the third floor, but I guess they park their ambulances on the 2nd floor of this hospital, and the first floor is actually the basement, because Jack jumped a couple feet down to the roof of the ambulance and then jumped off of that to the ground to chase the suicide bomber. The bomber locks himself in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber and tries to manually set off his bomb. You know where you should go when you want to set off a bomb that's strapped to your vest? A chamber filled with oxygen! Will there be a big explosion next week? I don't know!
Does anyone else think that the bad guy who currently is in charge of the uranium rods looks exactly like Johan Santana? Why are you trying to bomb New York, JoJo? Do you hate the Mets that much? Think of the Niños!!Johan may give this episode a big thumbs up, but I disagree amigo. No cheap kills at the compound. Fahrad dies, then Jack props him up and uses his ventriloquist skills to say "Hey, terrorists, I'm doing great!" Then the terrorists shoot Fahrad's corpse some more. I don't care how many times you kill him, it still only counts as one lousy kill.
Bad guys: 1 (Fahrad. Twice.)
Bad guys are up to 22 kills now. Projected totals for the season fall to 86. I'm sure Owen's gonna get a good dozen or so baddies next week to get us back on track. And I'm ready for baseball season.
