Jack has cracked ribs and who knows what-all, but with that injection he'll be as right as Raines.
I hope those poor set people put that Oval Office set in storage instead of the garbage, cause we're coming out of the bunker, folks!
All these "good job, everyone!" moments are the sort of thing we don't usually get to see when crises resolve normally at the end of a season.
Finally, it's just like old times -- Jack's going to Chloe to sneak around the Powers That Be.
Chloe says "dammit!" That's a drink. But don't metabolize.
Wayne looks at his brother's photo, from back in the days when the country was "in good hands."
Why there aren't keystroke monitors on every computer at CTU all the time is beyond me, but hooray for Morris.
Chloe goes to confess to Buchanan just as Jack steps into action. For Jack's sake, Chloe had better talk slow. For once.
Ah, the old "I'm reporting you!" bluff. But Jack plays it so well.
Doyle's had to "subdue" Jack. Yeah, like he could do that if Jack didn't want to be subdued.
As if C-4 could blow up Jack Bauer.
Jack needs help with Audrey's "extraction," so Doyle's just become the designated dental hygienist.
How long is Chloe going to hold that incident over Morris' head? Another six hours and 20 minutes, give or take a few seconds.
Daniels says that at least after he resigns, he'll have more time to spend with Lisa. Meanwhile she's thinking, "well, see, I only really liked you when you had the power to nuke things."
Palmer gives his press conference, and then opens it up to questions. The press then behaves so passively and orderly, given the circumstances, that they must all be on tranquilizers.
Daniels' first order of business? Burn that letter!
Ha! That wacky prat fall of Wayne's was so funny, let's see it again on the television in the background of the Oval Office. Twice!
Daniels takes the entirely rational position that taking a chance on handing sensitive Russian technology over to the Chinese is unacceptable. So rational a position it is, in fact, that it makes this a completely out-of-character action for him, of course. (Seriously, what's wrong about pissing off the Russians that's not so bad about pissing off Unnamedistan and nearly all of the Middle East?)
Doyle tries to be sly, but when it Raines, Jack pours... liquid whoop-ass.
Grab the fence! Damn, it wasn't electrified.

ah, my favorite type of 24 episode; a big mess. lots of cool stuff just-happening, unpredictably (for the most part)
I really had no idea where they were taking me with this crazy quest for Super Jack. even the chinese know he kicks so much butt he can do anything!
the mole
No one got shot, shot a gun, was shot at, stabbed or was tortured. There was no perimeter established, no exposition between bad guys to explain what the hell they were thinking, and no bystanders doing anything stupid.
Was this 24?
Daniels to Lisa: "Close the door... and take off your clothes."
All in all a fine episode. I loved Jack's detailed description of the exchange: "When I know that Audrey is safe, two things are going to happen..." Good ol' stuff.
