24 News and Notes / 11pm-12am

So after being hit with the big whammy about Logan at the end of the hour last week, I spent the whole week wondering how they planned to actually explain to the masses that he wasn’t in fact the bumbling fool that we have always believed that he was…color me disappointed…not only was there no plausible reason mentioned – it wasn’t even touched on at all so we are all apparently just supposed to go along with the fact that Evil Logan is a master manipulator…never mind the whole situation with Walt Cummings…I only hope they’ll flesh things out a little bit better in the near future…Until then – onto the next HOUR…


11:00 P.M.
As Wayne drives, Jack treats Evelyn’s wounds. She explains that she hid a recording of a phone call in a safe deposit box. The call was between the President and Henderson. Jack takes the key to the box. With all the military roadblocks in place, Wayne pulls up to a motel.

COMMENT: I’m not even going to ask how the heck Evelyn ended up with the recording…ooop – guess I just did huh?

11:02 P.M.
Jack calls Audrey, who says that Chloe couldn’t reposition the satellite to track Henderson. He asks her to involve her father as a credible source to present the evidence. Jack warns Audrey to get out of CTU because they don’t know who they can trust.

COMMENT: Cool – Daddy Defense is back in the picture. The only thing is – with the latest revelation about Logan – I honestly have no idea who is actually good or bad??

11:05 P.M.
Wayne locates the bank manager’s home address. He and Jack carry Evelyn and her daughter into a motel room. It’s not safe for her to be taken to a public hospital. Jack cleans Evelyn’s wound, and she thinks she will be able to stay on her own. Jack and Wayne leave.

COMMENT: Ah – going with the old “take the bank manager hostage in his own home” gambit eh? Sly move JB.

11:06 P.M.
Henderson tells Logan that he doesn’t know where Evelyn hid the recording of their conversation. Yet he is having all hospitals monitored because she was wounded. “It all spiraled out of control when you decided to kill David Palmer,” Logan admonishes.

COMMENT: So Henderson made the decision to take out Palmer…Damn him! Can’t wait for Jack to go to work on him Bauer-style. We already saw how he dealt with Palmer’s assassin.

11:07 P.M.
Karen starts to doubt to Miles whether Homeland’s takeover of CTU was even necessary.

COMMENT: Karen – don’t start going all reasonable on me now…I dislike you immensely and I might have to actually start kinda-maybe-sorta liking you…

11:08 P.M.
President Logan calls Karen and inquires about Jack’s whereabouts. He orders a warrant for Jack in the death of David Palmer. Logan wants it to be CTU’s top priority because he has “new evidence.”

11:09 P.M.
Karen is wary of this recent directive, especially since it means pulling resources off finding Henderson. Miles suggests they keep an eye on Audrey because Jack will try to contact her.

COMMENT: Hmmm – Karen again starting to employ deductive reasoning…On the flip side – Miles still needs to be taken out with a tazer.

11:10 P.M.
After Chloe puts Audrey’s cell on a secure channel, she learns about the evidence against Logan. Suddenly, Chloe’s computer is alerted that a warrant is issued for Jack. “It’s starting,” Audrey says ominously.

COMMENT: For some reason I just love the word ominous…can’t explain why. Just thought I’d share.

11:11 P.M.
Karen approaches Audrey, who claims to be leaving to get sleep. Karen says that the new evidence implicating Jack is coming. She cannot tell them who ordered the warrant, but she admits that it is odd. Audrey lies and says she hasn’t had contact with Jack in over an hour.

COMMENT: The fog that Karen has been working in since this whole thing started continues to lift…encouraging?? The magic 8Ball says ‘YES”

11:12 P.M.
Karen wants Audrey to lead them to Jack, so she has a field agent place a transponder on Audrey’s car.

COMMENT: A small step back for Karen…*sigh*

11:16 P.M.
Jack and Wayne break into the bank manager’s home.

11:19 P.M.
Jack threatens to shoot the man and his wife, demanding access to the bank. The man gets dressed to go and Jack has Wayne tie up the wife.

11:20 P.M.
Audrey leaves the CTU parking lot and calls her father who is aboard a jet. She tells him that Jack has been framed but she can’t say anything more. Heller has his plane rerouted to the Van Nuys Airport in Los Angeles. He has the stop kept off the plane’s manifest.

COMMENT: Keep the stop off the manifest…I understand it but my growing suspicion of EVERYONE not named Jack, Chloe, Audrey, Wayne or Bill has my spidey sense tingling.

11:22 P.M.
Audrey pulls into a gas station and pretends to fill up her tank. The field agent follows. Audrey calls Chloe, who instructs her to take a CTU walkie and scan her car. The walkie reacts with a squeal over the transponder. Audrey removes the tracker and puts it onto a DWP utility truck that has stopped to get gas. She gets back in the car and drives off.

COMMENT: Secret Agent Audrey Raines!!! Loving it!! Way to lose your pursuit Audrey!

11:23 P.M.
Pierce is in the President’s office when Gardner asks about the warrant on Jack. Logan dismisses Pierce, and then admits to Gardner that he issued it. Gardner is annoyed that he wasn’t consulted even though he is in charge of the Homeland Security transfer. Logan refuses to tell Gardner any more about the “evidence” that names Jack as Palmer’s killer.

COMMENT: It isn’t easy being Evil huh Chuck? Even so – when you hold the “I’m the President and you’re not” trump card it makes things much easier. It’s a little like the “Because I’m your father” trump card I will end up using with my daughter…very effective.

11:25 P.M.
Evelyn goes to her crying daughter, but falls and hits her head. The little girl instinctively calls 911 and gives her mother’s name to the operator.

COMMENT: Ooops…but bonus points to the daughter for good intentions.

11:27 P.M.
Henderson is notified that a 911 call came in about Evelyn. He heads to the motel.

COMMENT: Double ooops…this will not end well.

11:32 P.M.
Logan gives a press conference to announce that the terrorist attack has been thwarted. From inside the retreat, Martha tells Pierce that she is impressed that her husband defeated the crisis. Martha notices that Pierce is worried about something, but he covers up the cause.

COMMENT: It is still hysterical watching a Logan press conference…how he always makes sure to clearly take credit for every good thing that happens…I’ve just barely started to consider the possibilities of what will happen when Marty finds out about Evil Logan and his evil plan…YEE HAW!!!

11:33 P.M.
Jack and Wayne go to the bank with the manager. Jack gets a call from Pierce, who warns him that Logan issued a warrant for him. Jack tells Pierce that the President is responsible for all that has happened, and that the evidence incriminating him will be passed to Secretary Heller.

COMMENT: So Aaron is officially in the loop on Evil Logan. Nice to see…We (as in the folks here at 24geek) love Agent Pierce! He is the best.

11:34 P.M.
Karen finds out that her field agents lost Audrey. She has Miles redirect the satellites away from looking for Jack. They need to find Audrey.

COMMENT: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA – awesome!!

11:35 P.M.
Jack forces the bank manager to lead them to the vault. The man recognizes Wayne from the television coverage of his Palmer’s assassination. Wayne and Jack admit to what they are doing there and the urgency of the situation.

COMMENT: Glad they finally decided to let the Bank Manager in on the situation. Give the guy a little bit a credit…

11:38 P.M.
A paramedic revives Evelyn. Suddenly, Henderson shoots the paramedic. He demands that Evelyn tell him where Jack is.

COMMENT: I hate to be the one to say I told you so…btw – I’m thinking the little girl is going to need a TON of therapy…and she’ll never be able to stay at a Super 8 Motel ever again…

11:43 P.M.
Martha lets Logan know that she is proud of him and she apologizes for being a burden with her breakdowns. Logan’s cell phone rings and he says he needs privacy. Martha doesn’t understand what is so critical because the terrorist threat is over.

COMMENT: Oh Chuck – you are going to be in SO much trouble when Marty catches onto your evil game…until then keep letting her apologize…that should make things much better….

11:45 P.M.
Logan takes the call from Henderson while Martha is still sitting next to him. Henderson says that they are on their way to get Jack. Logan tells him to get it done, and Martha questions what he is referring to. Logan lies to cover it up.

COMMENT: Poor Marty…*shaking my head*

11:46 P.M.
Miles finds Audrey on the satellite, and Karen alerts her field agents of the location.

Shari the techie asks Chloe why she has been locked out on the satellite by a priority override. Chloe sees that the satellite is tracking Audrey.

COMMENT: Talk about suspension of belief…I’m not even going to start to ask how the heck they managed to find Audrey on the satellite…they could find her but not Henderson…POOR PLOT DEVICE ALERT!!!!! *argh*


11:47 P.M.
Henderson’s commandos arrive at the bank. Jack enters the vault and retrieves Evelyn’s tape recorder. He plays it and hears Henderson tell Logan that he killed Palmer. The bank manager is floored by this revelation and gives Jack his car keys.

COMMENT: Well there you go…hard evidence that Logan is really Evil Logan…now comes the fun part…getting out of the darn bank on one (or at most two) pieces.

11:49 P.M.
Jack hears something outside, and he huddles the others back into the vault. Jack sees Henderson’s armed men through his monocle.

COMMENT: Got to get me one of those monocles…just because Jack has one of course…No idea what I’d use it for…except to look at various things from far away….fun stuff.

11:50 P.M.
Jack knows that Henderson’s men will kill them as soon as they step outside. He asks the bank manager how to trip the silent alarm which will bring out the LAPD. Jack thinks Henderson will order his men to shoot at the cops. This diversion might allow them to escape.

COMMENT: Good idea JB…my guess is the plan will work (still have 7 hours to go here…) Vegas is already taking odds on whether or not the bank manager dies during the diversion…at this point it could easily go either way.

11:55 P.M.
Chloe goes to the server room and corrupts the satellite signal. Miles sends the feed to the field agents, but it becomes distorted. Miles traces the error to the server. He also notices that Chloe is away from her workstation.

11:56 P.M.
Chloe deletes access logs to hide her tracks. Miles goes to the server room but no one is there. He exits to find Chloe coming out of the restroom. “What were you doing?” he accuses. Chloe jokes that she’ll write a report on the details of her bathroom visit.

COMMENT: Classic…just classic…Chloe. Now it’s time for my weekly “Chloe Rocks!” comment…CHLOE ROCKS!

11:57 P.M.
Jack urges the bank manager to remain inside, but the man wants to stay with Jack because he will be killed for having heard that tape.

COMMENT: Bold move by the bank manager…his odds of dying just jumped to 3-1. Oh dear….

11:58 P.M.
The police arrive at the bank and Henderson has his men fire at them. In the midst of the gunfire, Jack emerges and shoots at the commandos. Wayne and the bank manager follow. A marine transport takes out the snipers. As Jack and Wayne head for a police car, the bank manager is hit in the chest with a bullet. They get him into the police car and Jack speeds from the melee.

COMMENT: WOW – gunfire, commandos and marines!!! Uh oh – the bank manager has taken one in the chest for the good guys…Dying is now even money in Vegas….

11:59 P.M.
The bank manager dies in the backseat. Jack calls Audrey, who is at the Van Nuys Airport waiting for her father to land. Jack tells her that the evidence clearly implicates Logan. This information sinks in. “We’re talking about taking down the President of the United States,” he says.

COMMENT: Mr Bank Manager – we hardly knew ya. Thank you for the ultimate sacrifice…Next time elect to be locked in the vault…Daddy Defense is on the way and Jack and the Gang are taking on Evil Logan…The magic 8Ball says “Very Interesting”…


Next week looks to be pretty good –

+ Heller takes on Logan (apparently)
+ Bill Buchanon gets back in the game
+ There’s much more gunfire and things blowing up (cool!)
+ Will they attempt to explain the whole Logan-Cummings exchange and his suicide (?)
+ Are Kim and Barry stuck in traffic on the 405 (probably)

Tune in Monday night at 9pm…

Enjoy the weekend!
