Dubaku's attempt to flee the country is cut short when his decision to take his girlfriend along proves to be his undoing, and leads to a breakthrough for Jack and Renee. The moles within the FBI are uncovered when Chloe's decryption skills are put to the test by Sean who attempts a last-ditch effort to save himself. I liked the episode a lot. I see some people are not big fans of the scene in which Jack takes the car into the park and chases down Dabaku, therefore killing the woman that they were trying to protect. I did wonder why Jack would make such a quick move into the park when O'Brian was obviously three steps ahead of Dabaku anyway when it came to tracking them down. I think they just wanted the girl to die so that there could be a contrast between Renee and Jack Bauer. Jack and Renee are alike in so many ways, but at the same time Renee cannot just put something off as a sacrifice for the mission like Jack is able to do. I was hoping for a little Renee / Jack lip-lock when she was smacking him around, but we still have another 14 episodes to wait for that moment. The FBI portion of the episode was good for the second episode in a row. Sean covers up his tracks by using the woman he was having an affair with as bait. Right when it looks like he is about to get away he is captured and put into FBI custody. It also looks like there is going to be a full sweep in the next hour of a lot of government people that were working for Dabaku. It looks like Ryan works for the man at the beginning of the season who was trying to put Bauer away and is going to be a big part of the second half of this season. Tony returns - finally. Even though the past couple of episodes have been really good, Tony just randomly going away somewhere was kind of not cool. He returns at the end of this episode for a sunset scene where he asks Jack to join him one more time to take down another attack that is coming after Washington. I really liked this scene a lot and I think it plays off of what Jack lives for - saving America. Overall, fantastic episode from the team at 24 and I am very impressed with this season so far and think it is one of the best yet.

Lies. I haven't seen you post anything on it in forever. I would say it hit a "rough patch" of 2-3 episodes around like episode 6 - episode 8 but the opening 4 hours and the last 2 have been like amazing.

lol, i dont write about it because... well usually i watch my fav shows(24 included) with complete focus... like, i even forget to blink. but lately i eat, browse the web, etc during 24. and after it ends i dont feel the adrelaine, im like, wuteva. Average. I recall the first 4 episodes, they were good. 1st one was great, 3rd was perfect, 2/4 was good-ish. but the rest.... average. =/ i think the show kinda ran out of ideas.

Good season so far. This week was pretty good except for Sean ridiculous power to get up so quickly after shooting himself (seriously that was such a turn off given that the ep was great till then..bad acting here). Next week 2hrs event will be very interesting.

24 Is one heck of a great tv show. Not even the FBI can, mess with Jack. As I find this really funny. You know he doesn't like, working for them.

Bentham - Not understanding how the last 2 episodes haven't been like....action packed and heart racing from beginning to end.

avi - Next week looks AMAZING

JPPT - Nice

i havent seen this week's episode yet, but last week's episode... how was it action packed? Jack was helping randomcharacter, then Jack almost gets (falsely)captured, and of course there's the reveal of (yet another) mole(plus it was rather predictable and meaningless this time around). And Dubaku escaped again. I don't even remember the rest. Those situations have happened in every season.
