    Compared to the previus episode, this episode is more weaker.

    We have less action, however, Jack manages to get involved in another difficult situation , as usual. This already happened in season 2 and 3, When he tries to get inside some group of terrorists, with the objective - catch the target, it is clear that the situation is always impossible, this time it is not different.

    What complicates more the situation is that marwan cant be caught yet, since he is the head of the terrorists, so it will be interesting how Jack will escape this time since he cant die.

    Even so, this episode does not manage to stimulate the viewer the way that the writers pretended.

    In CTU, nothing of relevant happens, besides chole is back, with the usual thing that is: to each episode, Audrey discovers how she feels regarding each one of the men she lovesmoreless

    Oh.. it started so promising. It was looking like they had done all they could with Dina but this episode promises something more for that char. I really loved the meeting between Dina and Behrooz. Oh, it was just heartbreaking.

    I also enjoyed the action and the surveillance they had and how the figured out that Jack and Dina were switched cars.

    And the end.. when Dina's loyalty is tested. I was so sure she will go trough that and it was empty gun and they will follow their plan. Oh, I am so sorry about Dina.. I was eager to see her char more.

    Anyway.. now they have Jack and the plain thing is going on... exciting.moreless

    The rebound from the McLennan-Forster arc isn't as good as it could've been.
    Jack gets back on track with the search for Marwan by unearthing yet another lead from the MFing printout. Here's something dumb: we're never told exactly how this lead is connected to Marwan. I guess it doesn't really matter, but it's still careless writing. Anyway, Jack enlists Dina's help to go undercover and lead CTU to Marwan.
    On the villain front, new henchman Mitch Anderson sneaks into the Air Force base we heard about a couple hours ago and uses a pilot's thumb to gain access into a hangar. This aspect of the episode is good, if only because it showcases how much of a d*ck Anderson is. With Navi dead, we could always use a new d*ck.
    Not much goes on at CTU. Paul goes into surgery, Audrey cries a lot, Heller leaves because Keeler ordered him to (and also just to get away from Audrey, probably), and Michelle calls Chloe back in. Damn it all!
    The undercover op ends extremely badly: Dina's dead and Jack's a hostage. Nice way to close the hour, but despite my initial excitement at this episode, it still didn't have me biting my nails as the show often does.

    Hourly Highlight:
    "Your family is dead, and so are you." BANG! Now that's a d*ck.moreless

    Well, we had a one episode pick me up but other then that there was nothing special in this episode that merited any good attention. Audrey telling her father (who seems to have been aimlessly written off) that her feelings for Jack have changed is nothing that we couldnt expect from the second that Jack had to start torturing Paul for information. With Jack now captured, it looks as if Audrey will be pulled in a million directions emotionally. Chloe coming back was the only exciting thing that really happened this episode. Dina Araz is now back in the storyline and I think that is a bit of a reach by the writers. Overall, I think it was a filler episode as best, but nothing great happened in this episode from my view. Season 4 has its amazing episodes and its standard episodes and standard is beginning to out number amazing by too large a number.moreless

    I feel like this is a low point of Season 4, the season that is the low point of the the show. Its clear that the bad guy is planning something else now, but it hasn't been elucidated yet. Perhaps the season will pick back up once we know what the new threat is? I was happy to see Chloe brought back, her annoyingness/abrasiveness has really grown on me. It is also nice to see Tony and Michelle beginning to get along again. Additionally, I am curious to see what will happen with the Audrey/Jack/Paul triangle. Overall though, I am not very attached to the characters or storyline this season, and I just want to push through to get to the good part (the end of this season and into seasons 5 and 6).moreless

    • According to Matt Roush of TV Guide, the producers originally planned to show Dina's shooting, but Fox officials requested that her death be off-camera. The reason for this request is not known. The ambiguity of Dina's execution lead to a week of intense fan speculation on the status of her character, but her demise was validated in the following episode. Edit
