Interrogation packages, Kim at the airport, and Chloe not being impressed
Summary of last few episodes: Kim said goodbye to her dad, even though she could save his life with her stem cells. What an ungrateful daughter! Olivia tried to have Hodges killed, but chickens out. Sure enough, Hodges is killed anyway, which goes to show you that the government isn't always inefficient. Tony threatened a poor Muslim guy and set him up to take the fall for a terrorist attack. Jack gets in the Imam's face, but doesn't headbutt him like he did to that guy in New York City over the weekend.
Got home JUST in time to catch 24 yesterday - THAT ROCKS!
This week's episode: Coach Yoast is on the phone with Cara, and they helpfully set up the plot for the rest of the season. Apparently, they've modified the dispersal capability on the canister, and they're putting the blame on Jibraan by using his brother as leverage. I was hoping that Coach Yoast would pull a Dark Helmet (the villain from Spaceballs) and look into the camera and say "Got that?" ... but no dice. Tony continues to show off his evilness and tells Jibraan to take the red line into Washington Center. He doesn't tap Jibraan's forehead condescendingly like he did in the last episode, which is too bad. I really liked that move. Cara puts on another wig as she gets ready to drop off the canister. Who does she think she is? Sydney Bristow from Alias? If so, then she's not showing nearly enough skin. Jack wants to torture Tony's goon a little bit. Maybe Jack felt like the goon was hitting on Brooke Shields or something. Renee seems to be coming around, though, as she tells Jack "Do what you need to do." I knew she'd see things his way! He has a number to call Tony, but that's it. Jack warns him not to say anything else, or else it'll be the last thing he does. Like tell Tony that he's in a "flank-two" position or something.
Chloe and Janis have a tit-for-tat. Janis doesn't know how to trace Tony's location based on the phone number, and Chloe makes Janis feel like she's a complete idiot. Or at least as bad as she was when she was on Saturday Night Live. Jibraan grows a set and removes his earpiece. He tries to tell the Metro cops, but they don't seem to believe him. One of the cops pull him over and we find out that he is in on the conspiracy. "Put the earpiece back in," he tells a shocked and demoralized Jibraan. Turns out, Tony expected it and planted his people in the station, which was a pretty slick move, actually. Olivia is in the park and is waiting for her friend. Aaron calls her and reads her the riot act for slipping away without informing him. Aaron also tells her that Justice is looking into the car bombing. Man, they really work fast, don't they? Martin tells her that he gave the go-ahead. The way he's talking and spelling out the details of their arrangement makes me think that he's recording her. I kept waiting for him to stick out his lapel and say "Could you speak a little more clearly? And please speak directly into my lapel."
Kim is in the airport and her flight has been delayed. Someone's watching her, suspiciously, and she get really nervous. She could be paranoid, but I don't blame her for being scared. After all, she does have plenty of experience at getting kidnapped, doesn't she? At least it wasn't a cougar. Cara drops off the canister, sets the timer to 15 minutes, but rather than give it to Jibraan, she puts it underneath one of the seats outside of his line of sight. Maybe they don't think Jibraan can do the job? Chloe manages to debug Tony's location, and as luck would have it, they're right underneath Jack's nose. He crashes his car into Tony's van, and drags him out of the back. He then locks on a sleeper hold that would make Ted DiBiase proud, and contemptuously tells his backup team to "Get this piece of crap up." Nice. There's a PDA-type device, which, of course, has the details of the entire plan. Of course, it's damaged, which means that Jack has to call Chloe to fix it. Chloe can't reconstruct it, even though she was able to fix Marwan's gadget, but Janis can. Janis' look of satisfaction when she tells Chloe that she knows how to fix it is priceless. These two are going to throw down soon. Or engage in torrid love-making. Either way, it should be interesting.
Jack tells the cop guarding Tony to walk away, and then beats Tony up. He wants to know why Tony betrayed him, and nearly loses it as he threatens to shoot. Tony tells him to shoot, knowing full well that Jack won't do it. I half expected Tony to give out another old CTU code to try and convince Jack that he's still undercover, but it doesn't happen. Thank God. I can only suspend my disbelief for so long. I can believe that African terrorists can drill through solid rock underwater in less than two minutes. I can believe that it takes less time to launch a missile from an underground bunker than it would to bomb Starkwood into oblivion when said bombers are less than 30 seconds away. I can even believe that someone as hot as Renee would hook up with a gigantic weenie like Moss. But Tony being a bad guy, then an undercover agent, then a bad guy again, only to be a government operative all along? I can't buy that. Jack intercepts the signal and talks to Jibraan. Jack tells him to look for it in the train, and he finds something. He opens it and he sees the canister. Jack tells him to take it outside, which doesn't make much sense, does it? I mean, that's where all the people are, right?
Looks like there was a method to Jack's madness. Jack gets the canister from Jibrann, and rushes it into one of the ambulances. He puts it into the isolation area in the ambulance, and it detonates just in the nick of time. That seemed easy. Maybe it wasn't the actual canister? Renee and Jack have a moment. She tells him that she can finally rest, and he grimaces in pain. She looks sad, and then gives him a hug. All together now. "Awww..." Kim continues to feel like somebody's watching her. She turns to a nice-looking couple and asks if the shady-looking guy is still watching her. The guy, who played "Cruz The Evil Mexican Businessman" from The Shield takes a phone call, and it turns out that Jack is the one telling him to watch after her. Meanwhile, back at the crime scene, Jack wants a full "interrogation" package for Tony. I wonder if that guy from CTU is still around. What was his name? Burke or something? I bet he's working for Starkwood as an "Interrogation Expert" or something. Cara tells Coach Yoast the bad news and she assures him that they have another play. She won't let them kill Tony, though, so I guess she really does love him. They pan to Kim in the airport, and I bet her agents are the people that Kim's talking to at the airport. Sure enough, the guy kills Jack's FBI agent in the airport, and it looks like Kim is about to be in trouble again. Maybe she really is better off if Jack is dead.
Aaron confronts Olivia, and he wants to know what she was doing. Olivia turns on the sad puppy-dog eyes and goes through her "woe-is-me" routine. Aaron, being the kind-hearted lug that he is, softens and immediately backs off. Maybe not, as Aaron calls Warden Norton and asks him about his voice-activated recording system. Ethan agrees to meet Aaron in the White House, and I'm sure revenge is going to be a dish best served cold. Janis wants a word of encouragement from Chloe, and Chloe tells her, rather snottily, that she's still not impressed. Don't worry, they still have a chance to kiss and make up. Of course, Cara decides to use Kim as leverage against Jack so that he can free Tony. Jack's going to have to betray his new allies in the government in order to save his family. Yadda, yadda, yadda. Haven't we seen this before? Oh yeah, it's seasons one through three.
