Real Time 24 Recap Hour 10

One of the boring subplots in this year’s 24 is about the family of President Poofy Hair, the leader of a Generic Arab country. President Poofy Hair has been unfaithful to his wife, who has the personality of jelly. He has a hot daughter who has been carrying on with his security chief who is almost as hot as she is. President Poofy Hair arrested this young man as being part of the rebellion. To make a long dull story short, this guy escapes his capture and he meets the hot daughter in a hotel. This takes some time and like most of the scenes involving President Poofy Hair, everybody mumbles.

Director Bubba tells President Woman that they are trying to rescue the Rat Face Brother of President Poofy Hair. Afterwards, he speaks to Presidential advisor Rahm Emmanuel and tells him that he is dropping all charges against Agent Freckles. Emmanuel objects because she is too hot beyond the call of duty.

Meanwhile, President Woman tells President Poofy Hair about the Dirty Bomb plot and that she needs their security files so they can figure out who Jack needs to kill. If not, President Woman will have the US attack his country with MP3s of the guy singing “Pants on the Ground”. President Poofy Hair quickly agrees.

Like most their operations, CTU found the Rat Face Brother but he has been shot by a Arab named, now get this, “Ali”. Jack barks at the medical personnel to keep the Rat Face Brother alive, but somehow this doesn’t manage to save this man’s life. Jack’s next plan is to have CTU “pretend” the Rat Face Brother is alive so the the A-rabs with the nuclear rods will come looking for him.

In lightening speed, the news of the shooting of the Rat Face Brother hits “Fox Five” and the A-rabs send their half American terrorist (who was on the show “The War At Home”; really) to go to the hospital and blow up the Rat Face Brother so they can detonate their dirty bomb in Manhattan. The Half American terrorist calls his mother (who was in “St. Elmo’s Fire”; really) to tell her to go to Aunt Boo-Boo’s house.

The Not That Hot Tech and Agent Chico are dumping Cletus and Jethro into the only swamp in New York City. Agent Chico tells her that the dearly departed aren’t worth going to jail for, which is the “duh” statement of the year. The Not That Hot Tech is now worried that Agent Chico is mad at her for her double life and that he had to kill two people, not to mention that they are in the middle of an international crisis.

CTU takes the formerly alive Rat Face Brother to the hospital. Jack gets a phone call from Agent Freckles in which he explains he wants to establish a perimeter around her and maybe eventually download an schematic. In more CTU brilliance, Agent Archie, the fourteen year old CTU agent, is left guarding the door when the Half American terrorist shows up with a bomb strapped to his chest.

In typically 24 fashion, CTU disarms the bomb detonator but allows the Half American terrorist jumps through a plate glass window and somehow manages to lock himself in a hyperbaric chamber. All hospitals have easily accessible hyperbaric chambers for terrorists to hop into.
