Anyway, Wayne pulled Reed aside and asked where the hell Tom was. Reed tried to make some story, but Wayne was having a hard time buying it. If he were any sort of smart President, he would have requested Reed take him to Tom right away. But instead, he just sat there and believed the latest batch of wretched lies. Sigh. Meanwhile, Tom started to get an idea. In front of him were several pressure gauges. He quietly reached his legs forward and turned them, hoping that some terrible explosion might ensue and stop the whole assassination. Of course, Tom would probably wind up with critical burns all over his body, but hey, it was worth it!
Too bad the bad guy totally caught all the Tom-foolery, if you will. He restored the pressure gauges to normal, duct taped Tom's feet together, and threatened to kill him... but he didn't.
Meanwhile, with Assad and Palmer 2.0 standing in close range of the podium, Reed decided to make his move. He dialed in the numbers on his remote, thus starting the 15 second countdown to death.
But of course, since this is 24, crazy things happen. For whatever reason, Assad noticed liquid dripping from the dictaphone, which was hidden out of sight. He stared at the contraption for several seconds, wondering why the tape recorder would ever be leaking, and then suddenly, all the information he'd learned from the "How To Make A Bomb From Things At Staples" class came back to him. At the last second, he jumped out of the way, yelling "BOMB!" There was a flurry of jumping bodies, followed by an explosion, and, of course, confusion. Was Assad dead? Was Wayne dead? Was Sandra the new president?
I guess we'll find out tonight!
What did you think about this episode?

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.

B-Side you will be missed i laughed so hard at the picture and comment of Morris taking a dump for some reason i found it more entertaining than the actual version. I loved the ending to this recap thanks for all the great recaps :)
