HANDCUFF YOURSELF TO THE TABLE, NOW!!!

I thought the 24 episode at 8 seemed awfully familiar - why did Global air last week's episode right before this week's?! Discussed the shootout with Corey, who twisted it around to make it seem like I was talking about a hockey game... whatever! Heard that there's more snow on the way... aiya! More snow, slush, and ice?!

So when the 3-4 PM episode FINALLY aired, we were treated to Dubaku's men holding the First Gentleman hostage in a basement somewhere. Jack, Bill, Renee, and the Matobos were in the President's presence for the audience. "What the hell is happening?!" sums it up, haha. Dubaku called the President on speaker phone while they were still there - "We have your husband, we can prove it by torturing him over the phone, and we will make sure he meets a slow death if you don't meet our demands." Jack wanted Agent Gedge's phone records, for obvious reasons. He got them and discovered some important information about the last person Brian called before his death, so he decided to follow the agent.

Renee called Larry to let him know that she was alive, but that he couldn't let anyone know - they needed his help, and he was definitely surprised to see that! Sean told Erica that he needed to get home since he hadn't seen his wife Christine in a week: Janice scolded him for having an inter-office affair! "Larry better not find out, or he'll send you to Alaska!" Dubaku's girlfriend called him, and he made up an excuse about "looking at shipping manifests" because he couldn't make it to dinner. Her sister doesn't approve of their relationship at all, just because he gives the woman gifts and pays their rent! She later called "Sam" (Dubaku's alias) and said that he'd better break up with her if he wanted the lie to stay between them - "I know people in the Immigration Department. Marika doesn't know anything about this YET."

Larry and Renee meet up, but Jack ruins it by yelling at them for wanting to follow rules. Renee made an agent's wife cuff herself to her own coffee table, and is the perfect badass while doing so. "What kind of person are you that you won't let me comfort my baby?! YOU'RE A MONSTER!" Jack got the person's husband via some surveillance - classic "threaten the wife and kid" M.O. The agent attacked Jack, so that meant his death before Jack stole a Cadillac. At least there was an address for Henry Taylor being held hostage, but Renee showed emotion when being told of the agent's death because she looked at his wife and baby! Jack thought maybe she should get out if she couldn't handle it anymore. Renee told Larry about the death, and his reaction wasn't favorable: "You're supposed to bring suspects in, not MURDER them!" Then Jack came up with a great plan, which made for a gripping last ten minutes of chaos and ambulances, and a LOT of shooting!
