Your "boyfriend" isn't really in it for LOVE, Kyla...
Marcos is in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, and is trying to rewire the bomb so he can blow himself up. Or he's trying to take a few years off his life. Actually, I guess that's what the bomb is for. According to Agent Owen, it's going to take 40 minutes to cut into the chamber, but he has a plan. I have no idea what he was talking about, because he still has this deer-in-the-headlights look. Either he's going to come up huge for CTU at some point in the near future, or he's going to blow a mission because of his youth and inexperience. Or he'll die in the next few episodes and head to the big CTU in the sky alongside Agents Dessler, Buchanan, Cassel, and the Asian guy who plays "Kwon" on Lost. I think his name is Daniel Day Lewis. Apparently, Wayne Palmer put Marcos' father in prison for four months, and that drove him to suicide. I wonder what ever happened to Wayne... You know, besides Viva Laughlin.
Dana and Cole are back at CTU. Cole says "we have to act naturally." So, in other words, Cole needs to stick with his two facial expressions, and Dana has to keep putting her needs over those of the country. So far, the scene unfolds according to plan. Dana wants to talk about "them," and Cole is more wooden than Pinocchio. Bubba notices Dana's change of clothes, and she is no longer dressed like a cocktail waitress. Bubba reads them the riot act, but because they're series regulars, he decides to reinstate them, although Dana has to answer to Chloe now. That should be interesting. The IRK terrorists (Hmm... I wonder if they did that deliberately – it kind of looks like "Iraq," doesn't it? Maybe those are the initials of their airport in Baghdad or something) have Marcos under surveillance, and want to make sure he goes through with his suicide. I finally looked it up, and the leader's name is "Samir." This is the second time they've used that name for an antagonist. I guess I can understand. I feel like they've had 8 Hassans so far.
Samir and his men are back at their warehouse (or maybe it's a different one – who knows?), and they admire their rods. They also check out their nukes. Chloe and Dana are already clashing, and Chloe tries one of her trademark "supportive speeches that end up sounding incredibly condescending." Meanwhile, Arlo's talking about his drones again, and starts hitting on Dana again. Good to see everyone at CTU is focused on doing their jobs. Jack goes in to talk to Marcos, and he gives Marcos a lesson in international politics and diplomacy. Jack tries to reason with him, but Marcos won't listen. Eventually, Marcos says he's willing to die for his cause, but his eyes hint at some ambivalence. Kudos on a good acting job by – uh – whoever plays Marcos. I'm sure he'll pop up on Heroes next season, because that seems to be the trend now. If Heroes is still on the schedule next season, of course.
We have a winner! Kayla Hassan is in bed with Tarin, and they definitely win the award for longest love-a-thon. She gets a call from her mother, but he makes her ignore it so he can do it with her again. Man, this guy is a machine! President Logan and Vladmir could learn a few things from him. President Hassan meets with his wife, and he looks like he'd rather face a firing squad than deal with her. She yells at him for losing his way, and he promises to change. You know what he really wants is to have her arrested and tortured by his secret police, but I guess that won't be happening.
Marcos' mother is packing up a suitcase when she gets a visit from Cole. He notices the suitcase, and he looks like he just discovered the cure to AIDS. Or maybe he's concentrating. Or maybe he looks like he just read his reviews for Scooby Doo 2. Dana gives Bubba a status report, and he reads her another riot act. So, for those of you who haven't picked up on this plot string... Bubba is pissed off, but wants to keep Dana around. But only if she gets back into that black dress she was wearing earlier in the day. Okay, I made up that last part. Stephen Root makes his debut, and he sounds like a Southerner, too. He's a probation officer, and he wants to know about Kevin. He wants to meet and talk about our favorite dead hillbilly, and like an idiot, Dana agrees to talk to him. Well, so much for Dana putting her job before her personal life.
Agent Owen is back, and he's sweating bullets. I wonder if he still has his baby teeth. Or if his voice has cracked Peter Brady-style yet. Cole comes in, and Jack looks relieved he doesn't have to talk to Junior anymore. Cole brings Marcos' mom to the hospital, and Jack wants to use her to get Marcos to come out of the chamber. After all that time in there, he's going to look like a teenager again. Maybe he'll even look younger than Agent Owen. Dana calls Cole and, of course, she distracts him with her problems. Cole actually gets in a good line about how she should just lie because she's good at it. Ouch.
Jack gets the mom to cooperate, and the IRK people are worried he's going to crack. Marcos' mom tries to talk him down, and Marcos goes into overacting mode. Okay, I take back what I said about him earlier. He's worse than Tom Cruise in The Color of Money. Chloe finds out someone has tapped into their signal, and that can't be too much of a surprise. I think CTU uses Windows Vista or something. Their idea of a firewall is a dialog box that asks terrorists if they're sure they want to continue to the secure government server. Marcos says goodbye to his mom, and arms his bomb. Jack then goes the extra mile, and he promises to make sure his mother will die. He even promises to escort his mother to the blast site and expose her to the radiation. This is like what he did to Saunders in Season 3, when he threatened to expose his daughter to the virus. Anyway, he gives Marcos a graphic description of what happens when someone gets radiation poisoning, and tells him that his mother's death will be on him. There's the Jack we know and love.
Marcos agrees not to detonate the vest, and gives a series of guttural moans that sounds like he's either throwing up or doing what Tarin was doing earlier. Okay, maybe he can forget about that future spot on Heroes. Samir tries to detonate the vest while Jack tries to deactivate it. Jack asks for a name from Marcos, and he says that Tarin is in on it. Jack realizes he won't get the vest deactivated in time, and he throws Marcos into the chamber. He tries to close the door, but can't get it shut in time. Marcos gets blown to smithereens (we even see his blood on the door – nice touch), but Jack is unharmed. That's right. Even with all the oxygen in the room, Jack still wasn't harmed by the blast.
Hassan finds out about Tarin, and Hassan has an "I told you so" look on his face. Hassan tells Jack that Tarin escaped from custody, and Jack is like "Was CTU escorting him?" Kayla talks to her mother while Tarin is in the shower. Kayla finds out the truth, and gives up her location. Oh, this isn't going to end well for her. Kayla needs to stall, and she tries to sex him. See what I meant about this not ending well? Tarin actually decides not to, because he needs to get to the State Department – at 3 AM. She manages to sneak away into the bathroom, and was actually able to keep her head somewhat. Jack wants to set up a perimeter outside the hotel where Tarin and Kayla shacked up, so we know that Tarin will be breaking through that perimeter in a few minutes.
