Aside from the "3AM" reference and Rob Thomas being a textbook example of "GayFace", this image is perfect because of the Ginger band member...he's TOTALLY checking out Rob's ass!
Hey Gasmii! It's 3AM in 24 World...but nobody's lonely! They're all too busy participating in the gayest episode ever! Shirtless men, check! Dudes sharing a bed, check! Passive aggressive bitchiness, check! Chemical dependency issues, check! Overly dramatic diva-turns, check! Follow me as I recap it all for you after the JUMP!!
It's 3AM and we open with a lot of random shots of carnage/aftermath at the apartment building bombing before cutting to Jack in the back of an ambulance. Dr. Macer is treating his latest seizure and Renee saunters up. Though the good Doc encourages Jack not to speak, as his vocal chords are paralyzed, he does his Bauer-Best to answer Renee's "WTF is up?!" questioning by telling her to "Stop Tony...He...Second Man!"
Renee totally understands Zombie-speak, and immediately calls in an APB while we get to watch Tony kill a couple more random FBI dudes and steal their ride, making sure to rip the GPS system out of the car and toss it out the driver's side window first!
Back in the ambulance, Macer gives Renee another pack of Jack's "No More Shakey" drugs and takes off. When they are alone, Jack explains that Tony was working with Galvez all along and totally pw3nd the FBI! Renee wants to know if that means Tony killed Larry, which Jack confirms. She's pissed! He apologizes for vouching for his old buddy, since it blew up in all their faces. Renee gets a call on the radio that two more agents are dead, ride is stolen, tracking device deactivated, and they're all screwed! Jack tells her it's probably a good time to bring the White House up to speed.
Tony arrives at a No-Tell-MoTel the second the scene w/ Jack and Renee finishes. Either the Motel was literally next door, or the production is taking a '24'-esque leap of timeline faith and sensibility. Anyhoo...Galvez and Tony chit-chat in an entirely uncomfortable way. Galvez wants to know whassup w/ the selling of the canister biz, and Tony just wants the damn WMD bio-weapons, Thank you very much! Galvez inquires after his money first, and Tony supplies some card w/ a number to call verifying money has been wired to Galvez' account. Satisfied that his money is there, Galvez tosses the knapsack on the bed. While Tony opens it revealing there's only a frickin' phone-book inside, Galvez stands behind him and pulls a gun. Stupid Galvez! Tricks are for ex-CTU para-military mercenary types...not hired hands.
It all ends just about as you would expect...Tony scoffs at Galvez' amateurish extortion attempt before beating the shit out of him and suffocating him with a shower curtain.
Prez Taylor and Tim Woods are in the Oval Office having a '24' Exposition Heavy "catch-up" conversation explaining what happened during the last hour. Tim Woods informs Ma Taylor that Jonas Hodges survived his suicide attempt thanks to the intervention of his Marine Corps escorts (Hoo-ra!), that the pill probably came from the imposter NOT-Patty fake lady lawyer (body of real Patty found), and that everyone is surprised Jonas pulled through. Prez Taylor's priceless response: "That's because they've never met the Sunovabitch!" Haha.
Jack and Renee phone in with the regrettable news that the canister slipped their grip, and Madame Prez is NOT HAPPY. They spill the Almeida Mexican jumping beans about Tony double crossing everyone and Jack apologizes (yet again) for being played. Tim Woods and the Prez smartly move on to the more important challenge at hand: Figuring out WTF the plans for the canister are now that it's slipped their grasp?!

Hey DS! How's the job going?
I was a little "eh" about this episode, but your recap made up for that. Endless opportunities for hilarity! Loved the "blow up bloggers" and "I don't kiss on the lips"!
I'm so sick of Ho-Livia, I don't think she adds anything of value. President Taylor has enough going on, the writers didn't really need to throw in a crazy-assed, idiot daughter bitching things up for her as well.
Glad to see Chloe back. And cure Jack already, cripes.
Don't really have any predictions, beyond the obvious. Jack will manage to foil the rush-hour pathogen plot. I'll be interested to see who all the people in the cabal are, and their roles/ties.

@ JJ
It's going great, thanks for asking! I'm still learning lessons in time-management and readjusting, but no complaints whatsoever.
I agree with you on this week's episode. It didn't inspire me much. I am glad that we finally got Chloe and Janis together again to finish the bitch-fest that barely got started earlier this season. There wasn't much payoff though, as they only had the one scene together this week.
Here's hoping tonight's is better!

great recap. I am so sick of ho-livia. It was one of the weaker episodes but I still love the show. I guess we just wait and see.
