Nadia then questioned Chloe about whether or not she was covering for her ex, and Chloe quietly responded, "I'm not." What happened to the old Chloe bite? In past seasons, she would have bitten off Nadia's head for daring to question her choices and reactions. Further proof that Morris has totally ruined Chloe.
Anyway, Morris eventually intruded on the scene and revealed that he never fills in the sectors until he's done. Aaahhhhh. See, I knew there was a reasonable sector explanation. Now, if we could only get someone to take care of those pesky vectors and sockets!
Over at the Presidential Prison, Logan carefully laid out his "To The Consulate!" attire, quietly revisiting his former glory as leader of the free world. The simple act of gazing at pins and American flags immediately outshone all the acting poor D.B. Woodside's been able to muster as Wayne this season.
Well, Logan glanced at a photo of Martha (come back, Marty!) and then began talking crazy to himself in the mirror. Mayhaps the Prezzy needs a visit to Vermont himself?
We then cut to Jack in the next room, suddenly looking sharp in a dark suit, which apparently are readily available at the Presidential prison ranch. Next time I'm going to a fancy event, I know where I'm stopping off first: Logan's Discount Suit Factory. You're gonna like the way you feel!
Anyway, watching Jack and Logan was far too entertaining; so the producers dragged us back to CTU for some more dumb Morris drama. Just when she was about to open a corridor from the Logan estate to the Russian consulate, Chloe suddenly received a call from Morris's frumpy sponsor, Jeannie. She had some frightening news: she hadn't spoken to Morris at all that afternoon. In fact, she hadn't spoken to him... IN THREE YEARS!!! Wow, what a stunning turn of events! I always wondered what the Alcoholics Anonymous take on 24 would be like...
Well, with her world collapsing around her, Chloe ran through the CTU hallways, searching for Morris. She finally found him taking a dump in the bathroom, which was fairly exciting since it was the first time in six seasons that anyone's had a bowel movement on the show. Anyway, Chloe confronted him about Jeannie, but he merely brushed it off, saying that he had a new sponsor: Ted. You know? Ted with the hair? Of course. Ted with the hair. Wait, who? Didn't matter. Morris berated Chloe for being paranoid, and after she left, he pulled out his flask and dumped the remaining booze out. Consider this bad habit kicked! Now, onto the sectors and vectors!
"I'm trying to take a Brad in the WC, luv! Now, give us a kiss!"
Back at the bunker, Wayne reluctantly signed the furlough for Logan's release. We then learned that the on-camera rehearsal for the big address would be in five minutes. Before that happened though, Wayne wanted to speak to Tom. Too bad he was still stuck in the boiler room, probably still pining for the days when he was subservient to Vigo the Carpathian, not Chad Lowe.
Anyway, for whatever reason, Reed decided to tend to a cut on Tom's head, which gave Tom the chance to hiss some angry comments about how Reed was just as bad as Fayed etc. etc. The biggest slight, however, came when he told his petulant underling, "I was against you from the start." He then added, "Why can't you be more like your brother Rob? No wonder Hilary left you!"
Meanwhile, as Reed and Tom had their heart to heart, the bad guy stood off in the corner and extracted chemicals from his highlighters and applied them in pen caps, ultimately hiding the whole contraption in that dictaphone. Very sneaky... Turns out that dictaphone was the actual bomb, and now it was ready and armed. Reed would just have to enter 624 in a remote, and then 15 seconds later, the thing would explode. Oh, but it only had a kill radius of ten feet; so Palmer and Assad had to be really close to each other when it happened. Hmmm... I wonder where this plan might fail....
Well, with beads of sweat flowing off his forehead as if he'd just gone running through sprinklers, Reed not so smoothly approached the podium from which Wayne and Assad would be addressing the world. Ever so awkwardly, he managed to place the dictaphone on the shelf and move away nervously. I had to admit, my heart was kind of racing. Would Assad get killed instead by accident? Or would he survive and take the blame for Wayne's death? Or might this all mean an untimely end for Melinda, the resident brunette Tinkerbell of the Oval Office???

Great recap. I think 24 is ever so slowly starting to regain form and tonight's show looks to have some good action. You are right about Chole, all the reasons we loved her (awkwardness, great one liners and in general how she dealt with other CTUers)are gone. She has to be the voice of reason now for Morriss and it is really getting old. I think the people who put on this show are trying to force what characters we should care about. I don't know for sure but I would guess they never meant for Edgar Stiles to have as prominent a roll as he ended up having. They are trying to force us to like Morriss, and like you said, most of us don't give a damn. Maybe they will hear our dissent (fingers crossed) Thank goodness it has been 2 or 3 episodes since we saw Sandra and Walid, I can only hope this continues (knock on wood). I would like to think it's because they heard all of our bitching, but it looks like their story line is wrapped up anyway. I think Thom and Reed have a gay thing going on, did you see him looking at Thom while tending to his wounds? I was laughing my ass off watching that. I have a bad feeling this might be Jack's last seaon just because of the way things are shaping up, but I am ready to say 24, despite a few minor details is returning to form and I am expecting stellar episodes from here on out.
