We're 1/3 of the way through the season, so that means if we're following the typical 24 season arc, this is going to be the episode where we start to have role reversals on our new characters.
It starts with our Presidents, Taylor and Hassan reversing their roles into "not appearing this week."
And now we're bringing in a lawyer to "be the bigger jerk than the boss," perhaps the first move in attempting to soften Hastings? (How hunched over will someone else have to walk to look like more of a thug than Hastings?)
Jack says Renee did nothing wrong. Nothing? Not even the thumb severing and Jack stabbing?
Cole will back at CTU "within the hour." (Drink!)
"The Americans are not stupid." Of course, they haven't been watching these two idiots involved in Dana Walsh's subplot.
It's taking these guys like 15 minutes and a fork lift to unload the rods from the van. Josef apparently moved them all by himself last episode in like 60 seconds.
Now Farhad gets his role reversal, trying to talk to CTU.
Hastings gives his word to Hassan... in the same scene where Jack was confronting him about not keeping his word.
Between Farhad's double hooker escapade a few weeks ago and Dumb and Dumber's van buddies, this might be the most hooker-heavy 24 season ever.
To run this new operation, Hastings gets the youngest boy in CTU since that baby Kim had to watch back in season three.
The writers are tired of making up new reasons for Jack to stay on the case, hence the "deal" with Hastings.
Cole was totally wrong about being back at CTU by now.

Jack stormed in that room and choked a bitch! is Jack Bauer gunna hafta choke a bitch?
Son you better put that gun down unless you want to get hurt. - best bad-ass Jack moment all season.
Why does Farhad want to turn himself in? even if he gets an American-immunity deal, his own President (and brother) will surely execute him. unless he plans on running away again, which is his pattern at this point.
and what was up with the whole "America will always be our enemy" philosophy speech? even a giant can be brought down with a single stone? damn that was a pretty motivational evil villain monologue...
the hick-idiot plot finally gets a good moment when it becomes the first exciting cliffhanger of the season. WTF what happens next! if this was the DVD box set I would have stayed up another hour to watch the next episode for sure. also, those two CTU agents would be fired for sure. skipping work on a night like THIS? they had better come up with one hell of an excuse!
the mole
Did anyone else find it odd that the Islamic terrorists were paraphrasing the bible (David & Goliath)?
