We open on everyone taking turns getting punched and slapped around by the Chinese thugs.
The Chinese plan is to move everyone to a secure room in CTU, and then leave. Flaw in the plan: there are no rooms in CTU that are secure.
Into the garbage chute, Josh!
Wait, how do I know if I'm group one or group two?
Jack is trying to set a record for strangulations in one 24-hour period. Oh wait, neck snap. Never mind.
They make it a point to show us that Morris stands up and does something heroic to earn a little redemption... but then don't bother to show us that he's actually okay after the fight is over.
Josh will fit right in in China, don't you think?
All this talk of legacy and promise when Josh was born. Someone in my viewing group is getting suspicious that maybe Josh is actually Phillip's son. Ew. Well... ooooh. But ew.
Cheng tells Josh his grandfather is a visionary. He did invent warp drive, after all.
Check out Jack's badass Slip 'N' Slide action!
Josh failed gym class.
Jack lost Cheng. You know what time it is, folks! "We're setting up a perimeter around the building." (Drink!)
Oh, right! I forgot during all the action and excitement that was interesting that Lisa was busy getting "debriefed."
Karen Hayes missed an episode. And in case you did too, they're going to cram you with some exposition about what's going on in this subplot right now.
Peter MacNicol deserves an Emmy for his delivery of the line: "And... finally, we're done."
Lisa to Bishop: "I'll have what you're having." Bishop to Lisa: "Oh, I doubt it, because your drink might come with untimely death!"
Lennox has Bishop put in the bedroom. Because that seems to be where he spends all his time.
"Operational incapacities"?? What a bizarre turn of phrase.
Nadia should have received a flash memo about this division guy showing up. But she doesn't have Flash installed on her machine.
Looks like Lisa can join Wayne Palmer in the coma ward.
The Russians' position: Because of you, we're about to go to war with a major superpower. So we might as well take on two at the same time.
Suvarov gives Daniels an ultimatum "within two hours." So everybody, take a drink next Monday.
Russians have perimeters too! (Drink! Vodka!)
"He is a sociopath, she's right about that." See... give MacNicol a frakkin' Emmy.
Apparently, U.S.-hating generals leftover from the Cold War are making Suvarov act this way. "It certainly sounds plausible, sir." And by 24 standards? Sure!
Somehow, it doesn't seem like Josh will enjoy the fact that he's getting to ride in a helicopter.
See you next week for the finale, everyone!

yeah those Lennox lines were very funny. he deserves a nomination at least! I'm finally starting to see past the Ghostbusters 2 performance images in my head.
I still don't know why Grandpa Bauer needed Josh *immediately* enough to kill a couple dozen people over it... except of course to deliver another mega-cool action sequence for the audience.
too bad this isn't a CBS show, because they could have Cheng and Grandpa escape and show up on the nest season of Survivor:China!
the mole
I'm late to the party, but I found it entertaining that VP Daniels was surprised to hear that Russia had generals itching for an excuse to pull the trigger.
Wasn't he looking to blow something up a few hours ago?
