[US] 24, Day 7, Hour 9 [4 P.M - 5 P.M] [** SPOILERS WITHIN **]

J-blk

TV.com summary:

Jack and Renee track a lead to Dubaku's unsuspecting girlfriend, who, after learning of his true motives, agrees to help lead them to Dubaku before he flees the country.

Meanwhile, Chloe O'Brian is brought in to the FBI to run tactical, but her progress is thwarted by a mole inside the agency.

President Taylor is stunned to hear that her husband has been shot and is escorted to the hospital by Bill. She requests that her daughter be brought in, a task which Bill delegates to an old friend.

Looking forward to this - but after last week's awesomeness, can they keep it up? Synopsis seems interesting enough... (

Chloe at the FBI! So Chloe 1.0 will go head-to-head with Chloe 2.0?

). Thoughts will follow later - can't watch until much later...

Great to see

Aaron Pierce

back. When Bill said he had someone he could trust it was hard to see who was left that he could call on.

Was also half-expecting that we'd hear no more about the President's husband seeing as how Logan and Wayne Palmer weren't heard of again after they got carted off to hospital but it seems this one will play out at least over the next 5 hours.

Why did they ever get rid of CTU when the FBI is the exact same thing.

It killed 4/5 hours...

Anyway, good episode. Not as good as last week, but can't have everything.

I liked the way Chloe accidently humiliated Larry about the security system being messy.

And now we know how the FBI mole is: althought he did find out about Jack and Renee setting bait for Dubako rather fortuitiously.

And just what does the Dubako alliance stand to gain from all this, if they were planning to turn him in? A lot of people putting a lot of asses on the line for... a bit of extra cash? Hmmm....

Recession, cut back I don't know probably because they did play by the rules. I thought it was another good episode too so far I'm loving the new season and hasn't been a let down

Myabe because CTU did all sorts of things with their prisoners :P

Another good episode, I hope they dont do the same thing every other time a girl has been dating a bad guy and make her go insane and kill him.

Was good to see Aaron back! I thought Bill would have sent Tony and from that point have Tony turn bad, but time will tell.

My suspicions were correct about Shaun yay.

Yep, John Voight's character will have a big part to play and he hasn't even shown up yet...

A good episode overall - not as awesome as last week, but pretty solid. Great to see Aaron Pierce back and a brief appearance from Morris "Drill Bit" O'Brian too .

At least the girlfriend plot was not utterly useless as it is leading them to Dobaku. Surprised to see Sean as the mole, as he was an obvious scumbag right from the start and usually that's just a red herring. Nicely played...

Hope they can keep it up and once again, looking forward to next week .

Great episode

I liked how they played it out as OMG JANIS IS THE MOLE, but then OMG ITS ACTUALLY SHAUN YAY COS HES A SAP AND SHES A CHLOE :P

Wonder what will happen with Marika

The obvious is that she'll be killed in an ambush crossfire or somethin

But thankfully this season has been packin some nice punches

So Chloe at the FBI leaves Tony with Ms Motobo

For some reason I think Bill could be a bad guy, and maybe we'll find out Karen was killed off-season

He hasnt seemed to have gotten any contact from her, and they're meant to be a retired couple

Im baffled about who the next, and ultimate villains will be, cos according to IMDB

John Voight will only be back in the last episode

I hope Henry pulls through

Again, the obvious thing is that he'll die

Fussiness:
Renee - "it wont boot, the HD must be fried" when the desktop is clearly showing with a window opening and closing :P


Cant wait for next week

YAY DAY 7!

A good solid episode there. Season is moving along at quite the pace.

Chloe2.0 ya stupid bint :mad: Way to be a nosey bitch.

whosedaddy?

7

yeah - solid episode. less pace than last week. but nice.

I was actually expecting the trusted friend to bring in the daughter to be Tony, only to bring her to Dubaku.... so, yes great to see Aaron back instead.

I'd say Dubaku will be taken out in the next hour or two and the rest of the day spent hunting the conspirators...

I don't think Jack and Renee will be out soon. here is where Tony swoops in to the rescue.

Yeah, thats what I was thinkin too
Was also wondering how they were gonna get Aaron back in. Its clearly just to keep his attendance record going strong

Dunno, I'm sure Larry will sort it out

I dont get why they didnt revoke it when he said so on the phone. It came from the FBI and he's the head there

Besides, they'll prob just contact Taylor and get em released

Wonder what she'll be up to for the next 5 hours. She had no reason stayin at work and letting him die

But I spose, its a bit more real to her now

And would they ever put some bleedin security cameras in the server rooms!

A bit of a nagging question and no time to re-watch: did Sean get arrest warrants issued for both Jack and Renee? Because ok, Janis finds out Chloe is there to help out Jack but did she find out Renee is with him? Because if she did, both she and Sean seem not at all surprised at the fact that Renee is still alive - which is something I thought only Larry knew at this point? Or did Larry tell them in a previous episode and I've already forgotten?

I thought the same

I dont think Janis knows about Reneé

But maybe one of Séans co-conspirators told him, or he listened in on some of Larry's earlier calls

Kinda forgot about Jon Voight being in Redemption at this stage. He will take up the back half of the season I suppose.

Interesting call that Bill could be bad. That I would like to see.

I'm not sure on this point, good question. I don't think Janis found out about Renee and I think there was only one warrant. I may be wrong but to the best of my knowledge neither of them should know about Renee.

I was wondering why there was a warrant on Renee, since she's "dead", and also, the cops were looking for the car they were driving. How did Shaun know what car they were in? The only link I can think of would be that someone in the Whitehouse gave him the details, but then why did it take for stupid Chloe V2.0 to tell him about the trace for him to find out anything?

Apart from that, good stuff. I also don't buy that Dobaku loves Marika either, when he turns his back on her, you can see he's got ulterior motives for wanting her. I thought maybe she's a cover, for when he leaves the country, but with it being a private jet and all, he's not likely to be playing the honeymooners, is he? I think she's nothing more than a lazy plot device, and therefore expendable. Bullet in the head coming her way, soon.

Fem-Bauer is getting better and better.

lmao @ Chloe's son being called Prescott

wonder how they keep him cool on air alone

i'll leave it alone now

Decent episode. Wasn't too surprised with the mole to be honest.

Wasn't a ton of action to be had but suspence was rife throughout which is good.

Very pleased the way the season is going so far after a pretty shaky start.

By the way can we not just discuss the episode without spoiler tags? I mean anybody following the show will no whether or not they've seen it yet. Pretty annoying at times to be honest.

On Sean: I think I took it a little differently to everyone here. When he said he tapped Larry's phone, I assumed that's how he knew about the operation and not because of Janis' snooping. Also, Chloe-lite never heard Renee's voice before she was interrupted, and she didn't mention her name when she was telling Sean what was happening.

The one question that struck me though: if Janis needed that beta key to breach the security, and it's kept in a safe underneath Sean's desk, wouldn't it be pretty easy to track who did it?

I liked the episode. A few weeks ago you would've said Sean was the outstandingly obvious choice for the mole; I liked how they threw the air of suspicion over Janis so it actually did come as somewhat of a surprise.

Also, more Tony please

That makes sense, so I'll go with that . I never really noticed Sean mentioning he had tapped Larry's phone and that's where it kinda became confusing as to how he would know about Renee and arrange the warrant(s) (pretty sure now that it was plural - warrants were issued for her and Jack). But then again, Sean already has access to Larry's codes and everything so why would it be a surprise that he has also tapped his phone ? Phew, gaping plot hole averted !

Yeah, but it still didnt make sense how he knew Renee was still alive prior to that call, as I assumed he only hacked the line in the most recent call. He didnt seem surprised she was alive

And its weird that the FBI would issue an arrest warrant for her, when she was missing, assumed dead, and how Sean knew the reg of the car they were driving

Also, Larry is the head of the FBI so he should have had the power to revoke the warrant


Would they ever put some bleedin cameras in the server rooms!

It was a decent episode. Nice to see Aaron back again. I was also wondering who Bill trusted. We saw that what she did to the mother and son got to Renee, I wonder if she'll crack down the road and won't be able to do something.

The mole twist was done very well. Chloe will figure out how it was done. Nice to see Morris and can see him being called in to help at some stage.

I did think that the having 4/5 cop cars turn up in 3 minutes to arrest Jack and Renee was a bit convenient. Especially when there is hardly ever 1 cop car around when they are needed.

Imagine how much of the show they would have to re-write if there actually were cameras in the server rooms . I think it's never gonna change as it's now part of 24's "classic" aspects, along with the CTU ringtone, cellphones that have a talk time of 20+ hours, no bathroom breaks, no rush hour traffic ever, etc...

We can't be 100% sure when he tapped the phone, because iirc there were a few calls throughout the episode. I think from a timing perspective it would make sense if it was an earlier call, because there would only have been minutes between him issuing the warrant and the local police department getting a fleet of squad cars to Jack's location.

unreggd wrote:

I think you could make the arguement that the police wouldn't be up to speed on a lot of matters involving the case. Were the details of her death ever released from the FBI office?

unreggd wrote:

Good point, hadn't thought of that.

unreggd wrote:

Well the episode ended with him on the phone, I think we can assume he is able to get them lifted but there would've been a fair bit of red tape to get through to have the warrents lifted. It was really just a delaying tactic, as the guy said to Debachu on the phone.

Plus, it's friggin' 24, we're taking it too seriously

Yeah, way to go Janice (preferred her in Larry Saunders all those many moons ago ) , of course Sean is going to distract attention from himself by fingering her for the security breach.

Solid episode, not as good as last week's but this season is proceeding very nicely, the year off due to the strike has really freshened things up.

Re not knowing the car reg

I think he knew where to send the cops as they were not able to send the maps to the PDAs and Jack was relaying their location over the telephone so he knew where excatly to send the cops too

Really good episode, this season is brilliant so far. The misdirection with Janice and Sean was spot on. Sean really is a bad sort; he's cheating on his wife with a co-worker (which seems to be against the rules) and he's leaking information (which seems like it'll be against the rules). I hope Jack and Renee catch him and give us a double team torture fest, that'll go down well with Larry and the Senate Subcommittee!

Also, the fact that we're suspicious of Tony and Bill is reflective of how good the writing is. These two would've been absolutely trustworthy a two seasons ago, but they've really shaken things up. Is Bill still wearing a wedding ring? Why hasn't Karen been mentioned?

Goes to show that you don't have to be as off the wall as Lost to make viewers think (although Lost is pretty good at the moment too).

Really enjoyed the episode. I thought it wasn't one of the best but to be honest I haven't seen a bad one this series. Long may that continue.

Getting a bit dissappointed with this show. Surprised by the results of the poll. Yeah! I am sticking with RTÉ TWO around 12 or 11 on Monday Nights :rolleyes:


I am enjoy the series but the lame excuses that the writers are coming up with for killing people and torturing people are getting beyond beleive.

Jack kills Secret Service Agent after getting Tubucko's (sp?) whereabouts. Jack's Girl FBI Agent side kick has to tell mother (in pervious episode).

"But she just looked at me as though I was the murder, after all he had done" or something to that effect she said to her FBI boss. He didn't need to die, fool.

Anyway nice to see Arron Pierce back in the show. Overall I would say average episode but I am still enjoying the series even if I am about 10 years behind.
