Environmental protesters, Kim coming back, and Tony killing Larry

On HOUSE, an environmental protester (Doug) who had been chained to a tire for fourteen hours passed out and couldn't stand up. He puked in hospital, and might have been suffering from vertigo. His wife came in eighteen hours later, and says that she searched his email for his whereabouts. The guy had said that he was single, so she excused him with the "he wouldn't have wanted me to worry" thing, and further said that she had to find someone to take care of their four-year-old son! Then she told Doug to stop the protesting, but got the response "Why should the child matter more than anyone else's son?" The wife also had some medical issue having to do with hot tubs. Later, it is discovered that Doug's issue is really a rose thorn infection!

But then we got 24, which featured Kim coming back in - Jack didn't like that when Renee told him about it! The president arrested Jonas, FINALLY. Then Tony went back to the dark side because he got away with bioweapons, and killed Larry at the end of the episode! But there was another global warming commercial, with Chloe this time.

The episode begins back at Starkwood. Tony sees some fuel tankers coming into the compound. Jack calls him, and says President Taylor aborted the mission... Tony has to get out. Renee tells Tony they have to get him out. But Tony then tells Jack that Renee knows why the President aborted the mission. Tony sees the gas trucks, and tells Renee and Jack that they are filling RP7 rocket fuel into surface-to-surface missiles. Jack tells Tony to hold on.

Back at the White House, Tim Woods questions President Taylor about the air strike. Taylor snaps at Tim Woods when he asks her about the meeting with Jonas Hodges. Jack and Renee then call the President. She gets Jack's call, and begins to tell him that she gave her orders and they need to be obeyed. Jack totally calls her on it. "With all due respect, I don't think you're being completely honest with us." he says. He lays out the fact that he knows Hodges has missiles and has threatened to use them if she doesn't call off the strike. The President is deflated and spills it all to Jack and Walker.

They talk about the plan to allow Tony to blow up the truck before it finishes unloading the fuel and Jack is, again, begging the President to just try the plan. She's afraid, though, because she knows Hodges will launch if he detects interference. Before she gives her answer, she asks Jack how long he has to live. This shakes Jack a little, but he answers honestly: he doesn't know, but it has started to affect him. "Then there's not much I can threaten you with, is thereā€¦ I expect you'll do what you think is right." she tells him, and hangs up. Walker is confused because the president didn't give authorization, but Jack tells her she wants them to go in. But she has to be able to swear under oath that Jack, Tony, and the FBI were working on their own. Jack has Renee contact Larry.

Meanwhile, Seaton and Hodges arrive at the White House as Hodges commends Seaton for tricking Tony. Renee talks to Larry, who asks if the President authorized this, and she said no. She asks Larry if she had a problem with the covert operation, and he says "as a matter of fact, no." Jack tells Tony to destroy the missiles, but he HAS to avoid being seen. The trucks have loaded up. Stokes talks to another Starkwood employee who said he was going to make another perimeter check. Tony takes a man hostage and faces off against Stokes, telling him to take him down to the fuel tanks.

At the White House, Hodges and Seaton are introduced to President Taylor. Hodges remarks that he used to come to the White House all the time to speak with former president Noah Daniels. Taylor says that Hodges and Juma killed millions, including Roger Taylor. Hodges says he wants Starkwood involved in shaping military policy, the fifth branch of the military. Taylor says that it's blackmail, but Hodges denies it, and asks Taylor to work with him.

Tony lays the charges on the fuel cells at Starkwood, and takes Stokes up to the surface. The guy Tony knocked out attacks Tony, who drops the detonator. Stokes hits the alarm for a government breach as the missiles are set to launch. Stokes says Tony is too late. The launch team argues about entering the launch codes. The missiles are aimed at Clarkesville, Maryland. Tony gets to the detonator and detonates the missiles, as the FBI moves in... but they do not hear Tony. At the White House, Taylor, Hodges, and Seaton are going over defenses when Tim Woods interrupts, as he tells her about the explosion at Starkwood. Hodges says he's not reaching Taylor as she arrests Hodges and Seaton. Hodges says he is a pawn for larger players. Taylor watches as Hodges is escorted out.

Back at FBI field office, Jack gets a call from the President. He is clearly showing the effects of the bioweapon. As the President thanks Jack for his actions, Jack asks for consideration for Tony. While talking to the President, Jack freezes up. He sits down, unable to remember what he was in the middle of saying. Jack ends the call, and goes to tell Renee that Hodges has been arrested. He then makes his way, quickly, to see Dr. Macer. The President asks her aide to make sure she has real-time updates on Jack's condition from the CDC.

Back at Starkwood, Tony is being led to Larry. Renee asks what is going on, and Larry says the people at Starkwood had no idea what is going on. Larry talks to Renee and says they've known each other a long time, and Renee says they have a lot to talk about. Renee is told that Kim Bauer has arrived at FBI. Tony asks about Kim Bauer, and Larry tells him about the treatment. He then says it isn't easy for him, but he has to take Tony into custody. Larry said he shouldn't be repaid like this. Tony says he's ready to pay for what he's done. Larry says to take the handcuffs off Tony.

Dr. Macer tells Jack that memory loss is consistent with the disease, but just that she didn't think it would manifest so fast. Jack says he feels like he's losing a part of himself. Dr. Macer told Jack there's nothing she can give him for the shaking. Renee says that Jack needs to go on record about everything that happened, sooner than later. Renee then tells Jack that her daughter Kim is waiting to see him, and that Kim called him. Jack is furious with Renee and takes her into a room. Jack chews out Renee for telling Kim. She says that Kim has been trying to see her all day. Renee was at the Senate hearing, and Kim's been trying to get ahold of Renee all day. Renee asks Jack if he wants her to say that Jack can't see her. He says he can't do that, and asks her to show him where Kim is.

Renee takes Jack to Kim. Their eyes meet. Kim says, "Daddy. How are you feeling?" Kim says she's tried to track him down, but he thought it was best to stay away. They both admit they've missed each other. Jack begins to apologize for what has happened to Kim, but she stops him and apologizes to Jack. Kim talks about the treatment, and asks why Jack doesn't what her to help. Jack says the risk isn't worth taking to him. Kim says she doesn't want to lose him, and they embrace. Jack has a twinge, and tells Kim she needs to go. She leaves, obviously upset. We see a shot of Jack staring, and then she breaks down crying.

Back at Starkwood, an FBI agent is killed by a Starkwood employee. An FBI agent corners him and puts him in custody. The agent then goes to see what is in his bag, and there is a canister of the bioweapon. The Starkwood guy then kills Davis and takes off in an SUV. Larry will follow him in a helicopter, and asks Renee to inform Homeland Security about this. He pursues the SUV from the air with Tony inside. Renee asks Janis to access the satellite. Janis asks her about an attack, and she asks Renee a bunch of questions. Janis finds where the SUV is and tells the FBI. Renee contacts the SWAT team. Larry sees the SUV, and has the pilot take them lower. He sees the SUV pulling off the road, and goes in. The Starkwood guy kills the helicopter pilot, and Larry tells Tony to get out. A gunfight ensues... and Tony kills Larry by suffocating him, first apologizing to him!
