Tonight, on 24:
Carlos Bernard gets full star billing for two seconds of lying on the floor and getting a sheet draped over his face.
Jack is going back out into the field with Curtis, who fortunately has completely gotten over having Jack put a sleeper hold on him just a few hours ago.
The Vice President asks Logan if he's having second thoughts. Wouldn't that require him to have had first thoughts?
This week's exposition is served up press conference style.
Mr. Homeland Security (who won't give his name) is usurping Edgar's old station. Yeah, that'll go over well with Chloe.
A U.S. president who is actually watching the television to see what the public's reaction to one of his decisions is? Yep. Definitely fiction.
Wayne Palmer has something important to bring to Aaron Pierce. Hopefully, this gift comes with a card explaining why the hell he couldn't have done this about 11 hours ago.
Back to this terrorist go-between woman, whose name we learn is Colette. She's putting on some serious stiletto boots. They're made for walking.
"No, Mikhail. This is the place. We'll release the syntox here... and two thousand people will die." (Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-HAAAA!)
Jack and Curtis have reached the hotel room. The biggest frakking hotel room I've ever seen!
The suspect's gone to the roof. Jack sends Curtis and the team up the stairs. As for himself? It appears he actually scaled the wall up the outside of the building! I have no other explanation for where Jack appears from. It's not that I don't believe Jack is that big a badass. Come on, we all know better. It's just that I want to see Jack doing something that badass!
Desmond is free of "the hatch" and working for German intelligence!
The "wet list?" It's such a seriously goofy name, I'm assuming it must be a real thing, like last season's "nuclear football."
Chloe's off to hack into the NSA. And I know I shouldn't speak ill of the dead, but I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess this isn't the first time food or drink has been spilled at Edgar's station.
Quick draw Jack "factens" Karen Hayes over the phone. (He doesn't "threaten" her. "It's not a threat, it's a fact!")
They've captured Colette, and suddenly the music has turned almost CSI-like on us.
The German intelligence officer tries the wet list. "How 'bout a little fire, Theo?"
There is no way a car as nice as Wayne's can be beaten in a drag race with a P.O.S. van like that. I guess the goons (presumably working for the Vice President?) are that good.
Holy plot twist, Batman! Audrey sold the information to the terrorists? Ok, this either goes one of two ways. One, she has been set up somehow by a third party. Or two, we have our least logical "shift of loyalties plot twist" since Nina Meyers in season one. Because just like Nina on day one, Audrey has been entirely too helpful at key points throughout this day to have "been in on it all along." You know what? Just like day one (and the Nina-spiked "days" that followed), it's probably more fun to play Audrey as the villain, logic be damned.
I guess we'll see how it all pans out next time.

I was really surprised to find out that Tony didn't survive. I guess it's okay to have vials of lethal poison in an Interrogation Kit.
Chloe should have fought a little harder to keep her keycard considering what happened to Lynn's.
Colette's immunity felt like it needed another whiny Logan scene. not that I would have wanted to see it, just seemed out-of-character for the deal to be done so quickly.
speaking of people acting out-of-character... Audrey?! wow. and after all the dialogue of the German secret agent getting "too close" to his target. that's some good writing. I can't wait to see where they go with that one.
and where did Wayne come from? it's kinda cool to think that he might have been having an interesting day all by himself off-camera. considering what they've been doing to returning regulars, his odds of survival aren't very good...
the mole
Someone please tell me how you can "program" a memory card to spontaneously combust. I have uses for this.
You can only do it with PDA phones that you can use to make terrorists blow up. You pay extra for that and it shoots your minutes all to hell.
I know I shouldn't speak ill of the dead, but I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess this isn't the first time food or drink has been spilled at Edgar's station.
Hilarious! I enjoy your "commentary" so much. For BSG and Dr. Who I follow up each episode with the online commentary. For 24, it's Heimlich time.
Bishop: It's the same technology the IMF used on their tapes in the Sixties.
