Mommie Dearest and the Kid She Liked were thrilled that they blew up the President. Because of this, Mommie Dearest has the Drones crash into the ocean so people can see that she was a terrorist that keeps her word and not merely a terrorist who bombs hospitals.
Back at the President's hotel, they are looking at the television screen with news that there has been a missile strike at Wembley Stadium. Prime Minister Bigchin offers Audrey his condolences. Audrey wonders if this means she is the President of The United States now, for reals.
However, the Kid was looking over the strike one more time and he realized that the President was alive by a technique known as "Chloe did something". This confirmed the theory offered by Mrs. Recapper that the President couldn't be dead because they didn't use a silent clock last week, which is how 24 always signals when an important character has croaked. Because the President broke his promise, Mommie Dearest ordered the only remaining drone to fly towards Waterloo Station.
Jack calls everyone at the Presidential Hotel and lets them know that the President is alive and he is being transported by his friend named after a famous American football coach.
Chloe uses her powers of sensuality to get the Head Nerd into helping her find where Mommie Dearest is at. He has a "Terrorist App" and it locates Mommie Dearest. Chloe relays this information to Jack who is flying the helicopter and giving traffic reports. Jack calls HCA and New Jack and tells them to fight several hundred Mommie Dearest's thugs while he happens to land on top of the roof of the hotel.
The Kid wants to split and save "The Device". Mommie Dearest pulls a gun on him gives some sort of malarkey about "standing up and fighting for a cause you believe in" (ie: bombing hospitals). He sits back down, which in retrospect was a bad decision.
We learned that Jack must have watched Die Hard because he repels off of the hotel and sees Mommie Dearest and The Kid. The Kid shoots at Jack (which was stupid) and then goes and looks to see if he hit Jack (which was stupid). Jack pulls The Kid out the window and soon he becomes a Junior Terrorist Splat on the ground. Jack then shoots Mommie Dearest.
However, the missile for the drone has fired. Jack (with Chloe's help) does something with the computer and a joy stick and sends the missile into the river. Jack then throws Mommie Dearest out the window to Splat next to her son. It was BEST SCENE EVER ON 24.
Out of nowhere, a policeman calls HCA (lucky it was after the gunfight or it would have gone to voice mail) and tells her about the death of the Guy That Sat Next To Her At Work That Always Stared at Her Chest. Next to him was a guy with no identification. HCA rushes over there to use her "Finger Print App". She calls Benjamin Bratt and tells him about it. Benjamin Bratt looks like he did when he found out he was going to work with another old boyfriend of Julia Roberts. Bratt calls the Head Nerd because he knows the killer will be traced back to him so he needs money, a new i.d., etc so he can go home to the armadillos. The Head Nerd only wants one thing: The Device.
Jack has The Device now and he calls Chloe because he wants her to look at it. Chloe says that she is done saving Western Civilization and tells Jack goodbye. She walks out of the pub she has been working in and gets into a car driven by The Head Nerd (this can't be good).
Jack brings The Device to CIA Headquarters. Jack receives another time wasting call from Audrey. Then he gets a call from a "friend" (Jack has friends?) that looked at the fingerprint that HCA took. Lo and behold, the assassin was an assassin that Benjamin Bratt has been using on Angie's List. Benjamin Bratt runs off with The Device. Jack follows in hot pursuit but somehow Benjamin Bratt manages to out run Jack.
The Head Nerd and Chloe stop at a gas station show Chloe can do something nobody has ever done on 24: go to the bathroom. The Head Nerd gets a call from Benjamin Bratt who begins bragging that he outran Jack Bauer. They set a time and place to exchange The Device for all of the junk Benjamin Bratt needs. The Head Nerd hangs up just in time for Chloe to hop in the car. Then, Chloe kisses him. The clock emits a new sound: EWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
Discussion Questions
1) On a scale of one to ten, I put Chloe as a 5.5 in normal Chloe mode and a 6.8 when she is on Conan O'Brien. How would you rate Chloe?
2) Did anybody call the Vice President and tell him "never mind"?
3) Finish this lyric: "When you're down on your luck and you ain't got a buck....."
4) I always thought Die Hard was lame. You?
5) Isn't running the weakest part of Jack's game? He's a great puncher, perimeter setter, and thigh shooter. He just seems a tad bit slow.
