1:02 P.M.-1:07 P.M.: The chopper brings Jack, Teri and Kimberly in to CTU. While Green and Nina are standing by to meet them, Green asks who is on board and Nina says just Jack and his family, since the prisoners were picked up separately. After the chopper lands and they get out, Jack learns that Teri's been having abdominal pain. He tells her they've arranged for her and Kimberly to see a doctor. She wants to stay with him, but he's got an appointment with Green. After some agents help the women into an ambulance, Green drops the bomb on Jack that she's placing him under house arrest until he can be turned over to the FBI. While Jack is being escorted back inside, he asks Nina in secret if she could drop by the clinic they've taken Teri and Kimberly to and check up on them. Nina says she needs Green's approval to do that.

After Jack is placed in the holding room, Nina asks Green for an hour off to go home and clean up. Green denies her request, because she knows Nina it's a lie. After Green tells her she'll give her an hour off if she is truthful about where she's going, Nina admits Jack asked her to look after his family. Green rubs it in about how ironic it is that he asked her to look after Teri, the woman the two of them hid their affair from, then gives her the hour off.

Palmer asks one of his aides, Elizabeth, if they've heard from the person who has projections on state polls, as he wants to know if the incident at the breakfast is hurting his votes.



1:07 P.M.-1:10 P.M.: In private, Sherry warns Palmer that he can't talk about Keith or Ferragamo. Palmer says he's not going to talk about either of them -- he's being blackmailed. In shock, Sherry asks who's blackmailing him and why. He says his financers, because they want to see him the White House. Sherry is in disbelief that they could've planted evidence framing Keith for arson. Palmer tells her this is what happens when you cover things up. Yet, that's exactly what he plans to do as far as Keith is concerned.

At the clinic, Dr. Kent introduces herself to Teri and Kimberly. She says she's been alerted to Teri's pain and would like to do an ultrasound. Teri continues to try to hide what happened, until Kimberly makes her have a change of heart. After another doctor takes Kimberly into another room, Teri tells Dr. Kent that she was raped. Dr. Kent would like to draw blood and do some tests, and strongly recommends Teri see a psychiatrist. Teri refuses the latter; with some hesitation, she admits she wants to keep this a secret from Jack.



1:15 P.M.-1:18 P.M.: Mike advises Palmer to hang out with some important senators to boost his profile in their respective states. Keith hears Mike mention Ferragamo's name during the conversation and comes out to ask about him. Mike leaves, and Palmer admits to Keith that Ferragamo died in a fire. Keith figures out pretty quick what occurred, and angrily tells his father to go to the police with the truth. Palmer reminds his son that he didn't go the police with the truth in regards to Lyle Gibson. Keith breaks into tears, as Ferragamo was the only person who was there for him when he was having problems. After hinting that he would have offed himself had Ferragamo not been there to help, Palmer consoles Keith that he plans to do what's best for him.



1:18 P.M.-1:24 P.M.: The Regional Director of CTU, Ryan Chappelle, and his entourage arrive. He and Tony exchange greetings. Tony and Milo know Chappelle's presence means Jack's in pretty big trouble. Green tells them what room they're holding Jack. One of the men goes in first to set up a tape recorder. After he leaves, Chappelle walks in and he and Jack exchange greetings of their own. Jack is a little taken back when Chappelle starts up the tape recorder for the debrief.

Nina has arrived at the clinic, but instead of finding Teri and Kimberly in their room, she finds an FBI agent. The agent says he and his team are there to debrief the injured prisoners they're bringing into the clinic. Outside the room, Nina stops a doctor to ask where the Bauers are. The doctor tells her the room they've been moved to. Nina goes there, says hi to Teri -- who is having the ultrasound and is more than a little surprised to see her there -- and introduces herself to Kimberly. Nina says she's there to look out for them and will be in the waiting room if they need anything. Teri inquires about Jack, and Nina tells her he's being questioned. Teri wants to go home, but Nina explains that they need to take every precaution first.

When Kimberly asks about her father, Nina replies that because this was a terrorist plot they were caught in the middle of, Division, Secret Service and CTU will want to question him first. Before Nina leaves, Teri thanks her for helping save them. After she goes back into the hall, Nina is still bothered by the presence of the FBI agent she encountered earlier. She returns to the other room she first went in, but the agent is gone. She spots him with his back turned to her in the hallway, along with a woman who's wearing an FBI tag. Nina interrupts the woman's phone call to ask her if the other agent is FBI. When the woman replies that he is, Nina says she'd like to talk to him again, as they met in the hospital room either. But as soon as the woman says that couldn't have been, since they both just got there, the other agent turns around and Nina sees it's not the same guy. After the woman says they're the only two FBI agents at the hospital,Nina rushes off to check on Teri and Kimberly.



1:29 P.M.-1:33 P.M.: Jack explains to Chappelle that he didn't call CTU earlier because he was worried things could get out of control. But even though he did eventually call, Chappelle says he can't reinstate him simply because he broke protocol. In disbelief, Jack tells Chappelle that Palmer is still in danger and he can help. When Chappelle doesn't change his mind, Jack goes off on him about how he never deviated from his original goal of protecting Palmer. Chappelle knows that, and thinks that may be what will ultimately save his job, but he still doesn't want to hear excuses and plans to leave it up to the justice system to decide. After Jack yells at him some more, Nina calls Chappelle. Chappelle hands Jack the phone and decides their meeting is adjourned. Chappelle leaves and has one of his men keep Jack company during the call. Jack tells Nina that Chappelle didn't listen and he's been turned over to the authorities. He thanks Nina for looking after his family. But Nina's mind is elsewhere; namely on the dirty agent Walsh told Jack about, contemplating whether or not there are others involved in the day's events.

Jack has already thought about that, and figures someone had to recruit Jamey. Whether or not they were in CTU, District or Secret Service, they have to assume someone else is out there. Still bothered from her incident with the FBI agent, Nina explains that she just wants to be extra careful when it comes to the safety of Teri and Kimberly. Since they're being examined right now, Nina agrees to call back later so they can talk to Jack. They hang up.

Green comes to Tony to see if he's found out anything new in regards to the backup assassination plan. Tony says they've uncovered three additional shooters, who all entered the country the past few days. But they can only find the names of two of them. Green needs Tony to find out the third name, as that could be the person of interest. Meanwhile, the mystery assassin is in the desert in the middle of nowhere, spying on passing cars with a set of binoculars and his data device.



1:33 P.M.-1:36 P.M.: A car and one of the red vans from Gaines' compound pull up in front of a shed in the desert. Kevin gets out of the car and orders the guys in the van to put equipment in the shed before he comes in to brief them on the next strategy. He makes a phone call to Drazen while the assassin checks him out on the data device. Kevin tells Drazen they just arrived at the transfer point and Gaines is dead. He attempts to suck up by saying that he tried to tell Gaines there were gaping holes in his plan. When Drazen asks him to get to the point, Kevin says he can fix everything, and to boast, stated that he even managed to kill a witness whom no one else could find. Drazen turns down the offer, because, as he puts it, "Plan B is already in effect." Kevin has no idea what that means, and isn't about to find out from the source since Drazen hangs up on him. Looking around, Kevin spots Drazen's plan B spying on him from behind a dune. Kevin slowly draws his gun just as the others bring the equipment in the shed as told, but it's too late. The assassin holds a detonator in his hand, and blows the shed to pieces. Kevin was close enough to the explosion to get knocked down. Before he can get up, the assassin stands and strides over to him, pulling out his gun on the way there. After kicking Kevin's pistol away from him, the man asks if there's anything left in the van. When Kevin tells him to go to hell, the assassin shoots him point blank.



1:41 P.M.-1:42 P.M.: Tony and Green discuss what to do with Palmer. Tony says they have to get him out of L.A. and away from the backup shooters. Green has him leave a case file with her to look over before she makes her judgement call. He's about to leave when she stops him to bluntly ask if he's satisfied with his position at CTU. He says he is. Since she wants to play games, she coyly tells him that she's always thought he was too talented to be 'third banana.' He gets right to the point and asks her what she wants him to do. She does likewise and says that Chappelle will want to talk to him before making his final evaluation of Jack, as he was the one called for a lockdown, and they all know Nina isn't impartial when it comes to Jack. Tony asks what he's supposed to say. She wants him to tell Chappelle that even though Jack's family was in danger, there were better ways he could have handled it without breaking protocol. She tries to sway Tony by saying that he never would have had call Mason had Jack been upfront with him in the first place.



1:42 P.M.-1:44 P.M.: Green walks into the holding room to tell Jack that Chappelle has asked her to personally debrief him. After admitting she's uncomfortable doing what used to be Jack's job, she says it's pointless to ask questions, so he might as well tell her what he thinks she should know. Jack wants to< call Teri and Kimberly first. When she says she can't grant that, he tells her to cut the crap about feeling uncomfortable. After she turns the tape recorder back on, he says they need to search the Balkan terrorist database, as they're the ones behind the hit and financed by Cofell. When Jack refers to Cofell in the past tense and Green demands an explanation, he says Cofell died three hours ago, but doesn't say how. He does say that they traced the cash back to Cofell Industries.

Nina calls Tony with her problem regarding the questionable agent. Tony wonders if it's possible the FBI didn't communicate their plans well to all their people, but she doesn't think that's it and asks him to send someone over to dust for prints on a phone she saw the guy touching.



1:44 P.M.-1:47 P.M.: Keith talks with his mother to try to find out why his father has suddenly done an about face. She says they don't have to worry about that now. He says they do. He also stuns her when he admits he knows about Ferragamo. Believing there's a fine line between covering up an accident and covering up a murder, Keith announces he's going to the police. Sherry puts her foot down and orders him not to, because it's not his decision to make and he has to respect the decision that was made. Their heart-to-heart talk is cut short when Palmer comes in and announces they have to pack up their things and leave the state this instant -- the threat assessment has been upgraded and it's too dangerous for them to stay there, so they're being relocated to the Dallas Air Force Base in Nevada. After she checks to make sure he consulted with Mike first, Sherry asks why has the threat been upgraded if Jack is in custody. He says Jack may not be working alone, and there are probably others. Sherry and Keith grab their things and follow him.



1:51 P.M.-1:55 P.M.: Tony is called in to speak with Chappelle. Chappelle tells him that they're deciding whether or not to pursue criminal or disciplinary charges against Jack, and since Tony is the most impartial observer, their decision may rest on his testimonial. Tony admits that while he's not Jack's number one fan, he doesn't disagree with a single thing he has done since midnight last night. Chappelle says fair enough. But it's not the answer he wanted.

The Palmers and Mike are all in their limo. Palmer asks Sherry if she's talked to Nicole. She says she has, and the people she's with will meet them at the airport. Mike gets off the phone with the Pentagon, and tells Palmer that he found out information regarding Jack as he requested. Bauer used to be in Special Forces and led a six-man team into Kosovo two years ago. Everything suddenly comes back to Palmer. He even knows who Drazen is, since he remembers Jack's assignment as the Drazen mission. Since Jack was the only one from his team who survived, Palmer believes Jack blames him for the loss of his men -- and this is his revenge.

Elizabeth packs her bags and asks Patty if she could give something to Sherry that she didn't get a chance to give her herself. Patty wonders why she's not coming with her. Elizabeth says she's taking a later flight, because she has an aunt in a nursing home that she promised her mother she'd visit. Elizabeth leaves and gets in the hotel elevator.



1:55 P.M.-2:00 P.M.: When the elevator reaches her floor, Elizabeth gets out and knocks on somebody's apartment door. The mystery assassin opens up and acknowledges her by name. Elizabeth says she can't stay long. He says then they shouldn't waste any time. They close the door and tear each other's clothes off in passion. Nina is in the hospital room where she met the phony FBI agent. The real CTU agent Tony called is checking for prints on the phone, but he can't find any. Nina wonders if housekeeping came in. The agent tells her it wasn't housekeeping, the guy was a professional. Nina calls Green in the middle of her debrief with Jack to request permission to move Teri and Kimberly to the safe house now. Green grants it. The results of the ultrasound in hand, Dr. Kent tells Teri that her pain was the result of a benign follicular cyst which burst. When Teri asks how it could've burst, Dr. Kent says it could have been from the assault or from her last period. To rule out one of those, Dr. Kent says she'd like to do a pregnancy test. Nina barges into their room to announce that Teri and Kimberly have to get their things. When Dr. Kent tells her they're not finished, Nina says there's a change of plans and they need to go to the safe house now. Teri and Kimberly do as told and follow Nina out the door. Dr. Kent hands Teri a bag containing a home pregnancy kit, and recommends she do it at the earliest opportunity. From behind a swinging door, the phony FBI agent spies on the three of them leaving the hospital. Nina sees him out of the corner of her eye and goes to check, but the guy is again gone. As she leads Teri and Kimberly into a van waiting outside, he watches them, this time from a window. He calls someone to say the women are leaving now.

Palmer makes a surprise visit to CTU. Tony asks if he can help him. Palmer replies that he's come to see Jack.

Tick, tick, tick...
