24: Donut, anyone?

Previously, on 24...

President Logan goes to talk to the Russians to tell them that he knows that they are behind President Hassan's assassination, and he'll tell President Taylor if they don't sign the peace treaty. Jack calls Chloe to find out anything he can about Red Square. Chloe says that Sergei is having his trial right now, so Jack goes to the courthouse to get information. Jack says he'll kill Sergei's wife, daughter and granddaughter if he doesn't give him the name of Renee's killers. Sergei says that Red Square doesn't exist and that the Russian government is behind everything. Jack wants a name, and Sergei says Dana Walsh is the best they've got! ... er, I mean, he says Dana Walsh is working with the Russian government.

Jack goes to interrogate Dana and he punches her a few times (to the delight of Ortiz) but Dana wants immunity before she'll tell Jack what she knows. President Logan finds out about Jack's intentions and says, "That will ruin everything!" Logan tells President Taylor that the Russians were involved, but she needs to stop Jack or the news will become public and the peace treaty won't get signed. President Taylor goes to CTU and tells Jack to drop his interrogation. Jack is pissed because now the peace treaty will be signed but there will be no justice for Renee's death and Mrs. Hassan will be signing a peace agreement with the people behind her husband's murder. Dana is going to be taken from regular lockdown to super-duper lockdown and Jack is going to be escorted away to a military base to be debriefed. As Jack is being escorted toward a helicopter he grabs a soldier's gun and hijacks the helicopter. Chloe tries to talk him down but Jack doesn't respond, so she calls in the air force to take him down.

And that's it. You want a death tally? How about a big goose egg instead? ZERO KILLS (unless you're counting the part of me that died while watching the way this series is ending). Projected totals fall to 113.

How will this series end? I have no idea. They'll probably reveal the truth to Mrs. Hassan but she'll sign the peace treaty anyway to honor her husband/stick it to the Russians, and Dana will be killed eventually by someone somehow. What SHOULD happen is Jack should land the helicopter at the U.N. meeting and kill President Taylor and the Russians and declare himself President. I'm pretty sure that's how promotions work in the 24 universe.

To make me feel better, I found a picture that depicts Jack rockin' out as the new President. He's also indicating how many kills he still has (22).
