Dina and Jack Try Some Deep Cover - 
by J-Unit
Of the million things that he must have been thinking about at that moment, one of them probably wasn't that his family had been taken a hostage and he would have to cooperate. He surely wasn't ready to turn around see that the girl he had just been boning a few minutes earlier had a gun pointed at him. When he did get his wits about him and try to take that girl out, he must have been equally as surprised when she knocked him to the ground and said "I learned those moves from my friend Mandy". OK, I made the Mandy part up. We are not quite sure what this pilot's job was, but it was obvious the body double would be performing his duties that evening.
At CTU, Jack debriefed Michelle, and she agreed to the plan. What is that plan, you say? It's actually quite simple really. You have Dina Araz drive to this guy Fayed's house, walk in, and ask to meet Marwan. He has probably never seen her, and her husband has already told Marwan she is a traitor. But they have thought of all of that as well. To prove to the terrorists that Dina is still loyal, she will take a hostage. That hostage will of course be Jack. Since they have to do it quickly and know that the terrorists will be waiting for somebody with a tracking device, they will have to go in with only satellite and remote audio surveillance. Wow, I can't think of anything that could go wrong with this scheme.
Michelle knew she would need her top people there, and she was getting kind of worried about Edgar. He did save thousands of lives a few hours ago, but you can tell his nerves were getting a little thin. He mouthed off to Tony, and it seemed he was losing his focus. But could there be anybody out there that was good enough to work the computers. Well, we know the best damn systems analyst in the country was fired because she clashed with Erin Driscoll. Ms. Driscoll was gone, so why not call her back.
I have been lucky enough to recap when a lot of the big names came back. First there was Tony Almeida, then there was Michelle Dessler. As much as I like those two characters, they do not have half the personality that Chloe O'Brian. Michelle knew right away that she should call Chloe, and we were right away treated to some of that great Chloe style. When Chloe heard that Driscoll was no longer in charge of CTU she said "Oh, she got fired? That's too bad". Edgar has done a good job of keeping us amused and doing the computer mojo at CTU, but it's going to be good to have Chloe back. As soon as she gets to CTU (and it looks like she lives about two minutes away), she gets right into it with Edgar. Edgar might look upset that Chloe is there and Michelle didn't have confidence he could do his job, but you know he is just happy to have his crush back.
Many of you may have sort of wondered why Dina would actually go through with the plan. She has already said she wasn't upset with the nuclear meltdown. She could just double-cross Jack. Except, of course, for Behrooz. (Go ahead, do the voice again - "Behrooooooooz" ) I know she loves her son, but during the scene when she told him that she was going to go along with the plan, did anybody else sense a little bit of Elektra complex going on there? Dina told Behrooz what would happen, Behrooz didn't want her to go. Dina proceeds to plant about a thousand kisses on her son's face. God Dina, you'll see him again, you don't need to go overboard.
Jack and Dina get to Fayed's house. They made an elaborate alibi that she was being transported when some more of the terrorist cell tried to rescue her, because, you know, it would be awful if somebody martyred themselves for the cost. In the resulting firefight, all of the terrorists were killed and Dina was able to take in Jack, who had been injured. Well, we all know that Jack in fact had not been injured, so how was he going to fake that? Why, stab himself in the abdomen of course!
We have seen Jack do some crazy shit, and we know Dina Araz is pretty ruthless, but I think everybody was pretty amazed when Jack just stabbed himself in stomach. I mean, it's not like he cut his hands off to save Los Angeles from a plague, but it looked painful nonetheless. And when Dina saw him do this, she had this look on her face that said "Shit, why do these high strung guys always pick me for their missions? First Navi, now this guy. What the hell was I thinking?"
Dina took Jack to Fayed's door. If you are trying to imagine what this guy looks like, imagine a Lebanese version of Edgar, except Fayed is a bigger slob. Dina and Fayed were part of two completely different cells, so they never saw each other, or even knew that he existed. When she was at the door, he said that he had no idea what she was talking about and would call the police. Well, we know THAT is a lie, and so did Dina. She eventually gets him to let her in. He knocks Jack over the head, calls Marwan, and gets instructions to make a swap. Although the people at CTU weren't able to trace the call, they were able to listen using the parabolic transsomethingorothers and get some information.
