  • Two moles are revealed. A double whammy!!

    8.5
    "Great"
    This episode steps up a couple of notches and the plot finally begins to advance when two traitors are revealed at the end of the episode.

    Ok, the first mole, it was about time this was revealed considering the plot was beginning to get old with the constant interrogations of Bob and Reza. But no one ever expected it to be Marie! I thought of her as the innocent party in this, I mean it was her wedding day so she was the least likely person to be involved. I actually thought ther'd be more chance of it being Kate lol. And as for the second mole, its wasn't a shock that Stanton was involved as much as the person whos working with him. Sherry!! Just as David was starting to appreciate her more as well, I hope he doesn't end up being fooled.

    Also, Jack manages to escape from Nina. Its such a mystery trying to figure out what Jack whispered in Nina's ear, I guess its leaving it up to our imaginations. But whatever it was, she was obviously completely taken back by what he said. Jack then goes to Syed Ali's house and ends up rescuing Kate. It was a very clever way of them becoming acquainted with each other. Their relationship really grows throughout this season, you can tell they're fond of each other from this episode, and even more so in the next episode.

    And whattttt was Kim and Miguel doing? Tut tut. They both get the award for dunces of the episode.

    And I know its probably an unlikely choice considering how many twists are in this episode, but the highlight of the episode for me is the scene between George and Michelle. Its my favourite everyday banter conversation of the whole series so far. I mean, it was just so simple; how he was going on about wanting to become a teacher and that. But it was so moving at the same time. His acting was so good in that conversation, the shining moments he is having this season just aren't going to stop are they? Also, I absolutely loved how Michelle took his perfect advice later on with Tony.

    Quote of the hour! George Mason: "You know, Michelle, I'm not a big advice giver, but under the circumstances, don't wait for your life to happen to you. Find something that makes you happy -- do it. Because everything else is just background noise."moreless

  • Two Major REvelations!!!!!!!!!!!

    Now Kim is a fugitive, this fugitive plot could be interesting if the writers have any good ideas.

    Jack saves KAte Life and jer provide some information for him and of course, the writers managed to tied Kate to Jack to keep her apperance seems logical.

    The twist in the end of the episode was predictable for some genius people, but unexpected for the majority. I think this twist was very well covered until this episode.

    Palmer Administration continues with some setups for the next episodes.

    There was a great Scene between Michelle and Tony, very nice.

    That are another twist regarding Palmer administration that was very well done and make all the sense,

    Nina plot is over and was resolved very fast for my taste, but that is OK.

    Overrall, a episode that brings two major revelations, with the resolution for Nina plot, some goods scenes like Tony and Michelle, that make this episode deserves a 8.5 .moreless

    Wow.. last couple of episode have really surprised me. And this one goes for that list. The all action going on, getting closer. Michelle's talking with George - another tearjerker moment for George. He only gets them lately. And Jack in action and Nina. Oh, taking her down, it was superb even thought I like her in control. But we all know we need Jack more ;)

    The best part of this episode was ending. We now know how Kate's storyline is connected with all and the way things got revealed in last minutes - first Sherry who is just Sherry.. and we were already thinking that maybe... and then Marie.. that I did not see coming. Amazingmoreless

    5:00 P.M.-5:06 P.M.: Palmer delivers a statement to the press, telling them that there is a threat levelled against the country. He goes on to say that
    there are dozens of these threats each week, and concludes by assuring them that there is no cause for alarm. Jack exchanges words with Nina while held
    at gunpoint. He tricks her into stepping forward and into view of a sniper he's spotted, who wounds her. The CTU guys then move in and cuff her. Miguel
    and Kimberly are put back into a police SVU for their trip to LA. Miguel creates a quick disturbance with the cop, causing a lighter to fall from the man's
    pocket. Miguel grabs it before anyone can see what's going on. Palmer receives word that Jack is alright. He tells Nina that he will still pardon her if
    the information proves to be true. Jack whispers something to Nina that is inaudible, but certainly scares her. As Jack makes his way back to the CTU chopper,
    he sees the tattoo of one of the men who tried to kill him just minutes earlier. He recognizes it.

    5:06 P.M. - 5:09 P.M.: At Warner Enterprises, a handcuffed Reza is escorted to a computer terminal by CTU agents. Agent Richards boots up a Mac computer.
    Ali's assistant, Mohsen, tells Ali he wants to interrogate Kate again. Ali leaves the room to pray one last time.

    5:14 P.M.-5:15 P.M.: Jack calls Palmer from the chopper to reveal that the tattooed soldier that attacked him was a member of a deep cover group out of
    Fort Benning -- one run by the NSA.

    5:15 P.M.-5:21 P.M.: Michelle goes to talk to Mason about his illness. She expresses her condolences. Mason proceeds to tell her that she should think about
    what she plans on doing tomorrow. He advises her to find a job that she likes more if the bomb doesn't go off. In the President's compound, Palmer begins
    asking Roger Stanton about the commando unit that attacked Jack. Roger claims to know nothing about it, but tells the President he will look into it. Palmer
    tells Sherry and Mike that he plans on firing Roger and having him arrested, as he believes he's hiding something. Sherry feels that it's a bad idea to
    arrest him, whereas Mike disagrees. Palmer sides with Sherry, and sends her and Mike to find out if there is a connection between the NSA and this group.

    5:21 P.M.-5:23 P.M.: Miguel tells Kimberly to pull a bandanna out of his pocket and light it on fire with the lighter he swiped. She reluctantly does so.
    Officer Brown phones in for more information about the bomb, and the person on the other end tells him he'll look into it. Kimberly lights the bandanna,
    and throws it at the officer. While Brown tries to put the fire out, the vehicle goes out of control and flips off the road.

    5:27 P.M.-5:29 P.M.: Kimberly escapes from the car unscathed, and moves around to the officer's side to grab his keys. Miguel is conscious, but seriously
    wounded, while Officer Brown is seriously wounded and unconscious. Realizing that Miguel isn't in good enough shape to follow through on his plans, Kimberly
    undoes her cuffs, and radios the dispatch for help.

    5:29 P.M.-5:34 P.M.: Mohsen begins cutting Kate's ear with a knife. Jack and other agents arrive at the house where they are. Marie shows up at Bob's office
    to talk to Reza. She seems a little more amorous this time around, and apologizes for shouting at him earlier. Mohsen continues to play with Kate, as the
    CTU agents, led by Jack, enter the house. Mohsen is about to kill Kate when he is interrupted by an agent he spots on the transparent roof. Mohsen opens
    fire, but Jack storms the room and takes him down with a beanbag hit. Kate is taken away by agents. Jack wants to take Mohsen into custody, but the fact
    that the guy swallowed a cyanide capsule he had stashed in his mouth puts a damper on those plans.

    5:38 P.M.-5:40 P.M.: Miguel tells Kimberly to leave him, but she refuses. He insists repeatedly, and she finally follows his advice. As she gets out of
    range, the police and paramedics arrive.

    5:40 P.M.-5:43 P.M.: Jack attempts to interview Kate at Ali's place. She tells him that Ali is not the dead man in the room, as Jack had thought. Sherry
    begins briefing Mike and the President about a twenty-year-old communications network called OPCOM that was shut down long ago, only to be reactivated
    last month under orders of Roger Stanton. Palmer asks Mike to call the Attorney General, so they can begin proceedings to arrest Roger.

    5:43 P.M.-5:45 P.M.: Jack phones in to CTU to tell Tony that he is with Kate Warner. Tony then brings Jack up to speed on the situation with Reza and Bob.
    Jack asks an agent to bring Kate Warner back to the torture room.

    5:45 P.M.-5:47 P.M.: Sherry gets the code of a retired deputy director that still has access to the network. She gives it to Mike to track down more information.

    5:51 P.M.-5:54 P.M.: Michelle tells Tony that she likes him. He tells her he likes her as well. The two agree on a date for tomorrow should the bomb not
    destroy the city.

    5:54 P.M.-5:56 P.M.: Kate tells Jack about what Ali was saying, and how she and her family used to live in Saudi Arabia, and thus, she can speak some Arabic.
    She says she believes Ali was taking about praying before he left. Jack looks at his watch, and then calls CTU to give him a list of every mosque within
    a 15 mile radius.

    5:56 P.M.-6:00 P.M.: Sherry calls Roger, and warns him that Palmer is about to arrest him. Reza finds the shipping order in the computer system, and realizes
    that the only person who had access to the computer that made the file was Marie. A second later, a bullet takes out Agent Richards. Marie is holding the
    gun. Roger paces the hall while pondering his next move. Sherry looks on, pleased with herself. Palmer sits at his desk pouring over documents, as Marie
    tells Reza she never expected him to find the information.moreless

    Things get significantly heavier as we learn:
    A) which member of the Warner clique is really involved with the nuke,
    B) the commandos who shot down Jack and Nina's plane and tried to kill them afterward are American military, and
    C) Stanton is indeed involved in a conspiracy against Palmer, as is Sherry.
    Okay, that last thing is one big snore, but it's still an important plot development, and this hour dishes it out likedishesout of a dishwasher. Like a maid would do. I don't think I'm good with analogies.
    Another major occurrence this hour is the meeting of Jack and Kate. After escaping from his thing with Nina, Jack arrives to save Kate's life. The relationship between these two is a crucial part of the remainder of the season. Along with that of Tony & Michelle, who set up a date in case they survive the day. Gag.
    Of course, by the end, Syed Ali's still on the loose, the nuke's still ticking away somewhere out there, and we've yet to get a clue as to why some white dudes are apparently helping to blow up LA. Gotta take the story a step at a time, you know?
