Senator Mayer continues the proud 24 tradition of getting a "re-cap freeze frame" after death.
They're setting up a "perimeter" at Mayer's house. (Drink!)
Ethan comes in to deliver bad news, and the President starts in on how the day might end of a positive note. Awkwaaaard.
This poor shipping yard security guard is expecting twins. Which makes it twice as sad that his life will be in jeopardy before the hour's over.
Jonas Hodges talks about 6 year olds eating their carrots. Okay, he's officially Weird Metaphor Guy.
Jack can't access the computer. "Dammit!" (Drink!)
Jack promises the security guard he'll be alright. This sort of plot point is almost becoming a new item on the 24 Drinking Game list.
Okay, now they're hitting this business with the security guard's family too hard. They're doing everything short of having him take out an actual photo of his wife. So now we all know he's NOT going to be killed.
The guard gets in the car with the bad guys. "Dammit!" (Drink!)
Ethan looks like Buddy Christ in that photo with the President.
Olivia reveals her nefarious machinations. What is with the writers of 24 and their issues with women? The women on the show all seem to either be evil, or wind up dead. Often both.
The agents say someone accessed Mayer's computer files "within the last hour." So, does that mean we all have to regurgitate a drink?
Renee's whole "look like I'm trying to give up smoking" look with the bandage is starting to get really distracting.
Tony and Jack seem to be playing a round of Wild Gunman.
Tony got caught. "Dammit!" (Drink!) Unfortunately for Tony, he wasn't expecting twins.
The bad guys steal the bomb back from Jack. "Dammit!" (Drink! Man, this hour's out of control!)
Jack Bauer exposes himself to dangerous biological agents. Kiefer Sutherland, on the other hand, exposes himself all the time.

Trip! excellent casting. to use a recognizable actor the audience could instantly care about. I thought it was weird they showed his wife on the other end of the phone. usually American TV shows "cheap-out" that kind of thing because they have to pay another actor when they could have just showed only the one end of the phone conversation. and why did the bad guys not think it was Trip who killed his executioner? they all instantly freaked out like they were under attack (of course they were, but still...)
very subtle with the "I know you, you're one of Emerson's men..." line to save Tony. again a shoulda-killed-a-main-character moment. Jack thinks he's dead is that good enough?
now Jack will have to hunt down the bad guys. why? to get the antidote to the poison he just drank.
the mole
I think Jack's truck jacking skills were learned from Indy too. I was half expecting another bad guy to come in the other door and shoot him in the arm.
