    Palmer plot continues to be boring, nothing really relevant happens, and it is more weaker that the previous season conspiracy plot.

    Jack as usual is the highlight of the episode. Now we finally see Jack doing crazy ideas that only he can execute. This mini plot prison should be interesting. Chase presence is now more justified, he will be Jack direct obstacle for now

    Kim, Tony and Michelle play their roles. Michelle is in drama mode, Tony is in Hospital and Kim helped her father in a indirect way to his supossed final mission.

    Oh, Jack has to make a hard decision when Palmer follows the rule not to give in terrorist demands and does not let Ramon out. So, Jack goes to rouge mission to break him out and that is not easy. On the wrong moment Chase tries to save the day and so Jack has to deal with him too and all the hell broke lose when they do not manage to get out in time.

    On the other fronts, in CTU that Gael is trying to get Michelle leave as then he would have much easier than and Michelle - oh it is hard to see her suffer and her struggle to stay and do her job and be where she wants to be.

    Very exciting episode.. really nerve wrackingmoreless

    Certainly not quite as good as the previous episode, but I loved the ending when Jack broke Salazar out of prison. Things are going to get interesting now... I'm not convinced that the Salazar's are the main villians of the season though. This show has as a habit of making us believe we know who the bad guys are, but then we are randomly introduced to someone else.

    And Michelle not wanting to be at the hospital with Tony was too unrealistic!! But I wouldn't be surprised if Tony is back at CTU in a few episodes, haha.

    The Palmer storyline is continuing to be a yawn. But I think that Wayne is a good character, and I like that he seems to have different policital views to David. The debate could be interesting and I hope it improves this the Palmer storyline because I loved it in season 1 and 2.

    Quote of the hour! Chase Edmunds: "Let me know when you start to worry."moreless

    In pretty much all respects, this episode is merely there to keep the S3 episode count at 24. Except for Kyle Singer's subplot, all the events here could've been merged with the events of the next episode without losing too much credibility or realism (the latter of which doesn't really matter on this show anyway).
    Yes, Kyle gets captured by Hector's goons and brought to some sealed-off chamber, left to wait until the virus begins eating away at him. His girlfriend somehow gets dragged into this as well.
    Jack uses Kim's amateurishness to his advantage, forwarding a bogus prisoner transfer document so he can get Ramon out of prison. That's pretty funny.
    Jack's agenda conflicts with that of Chase, who's gone to the prison to get some information out of Ramon. So Jack knocks Chase out, which is also pretty funny.
    Over in Mexico, we meet Claudia's little brother, which is just stupid. Fine, Hector can let him play with his gun if it makes for character development, but little kids don't belong in this show unless they're here to get killed.
    Everything considered, the hilarious ending is what makes this episode worth it, and it leads to some very nice drama and tension in the next hour.

    Hourly Highlight:
    Jack ordering all the cell doors open. Raise your hand if you thought this was a smart plan from the get-go. Anyone?moreless

    I always enjoy the interactions between David Palmer and jack Bauer and I thought there phone conversation in this episode was one of the best parts of the episode. David puts a great amount of faith in bauer and authorizing him to break Salazar out of prison was one of the great moments in 24 histroy. The break itself was pretty intense, though it looks like it will get even more intense at the beginning of the next episode as the Prison has been locked down pretty well with Jack and Ramon still inside of it. The drama at CTU kind of died down, with Michelle staying at CTU as opposed to going to the hospital. Gale, the mole, didnt do much in this episode either other then make anothe phone call. The situation with David Palmer was kind of intersting, authorizing a blackmail situation and then calling it back. He seems to be giving into the stress, something he hasnt done in the past. I wonder how he will fare in the debate which is sure to start in the next episode. With Jack now working against CTU, we seem to be getting back to what makes 24 so great - Jack breaking the rules and getting things done.moreless

    • There was an editing goof during the "Previously" clip. After Tony got shot, Kyle started to run and when Jack arrived, Kyle was gone. The next shot showed Kyle running again and Jack is not there. Edit
    • A young kid (no older than 10) shooting a gun like we see here would probably get hit in the face by the gun when the recoil went off. Edit
