Meanwhile, Quinn picks up a trail of Jack's blood and follows it straight to the fence Jack just jumped. Rather than scale the fence like Jack, he shoots the lock and enters the site! He goes into an office trailer and starts shooting the heck out of it and looking around...but no Jack.
Shazam!
From outside, we hear the sounds of an ignition while Quinn looks concerned! It's totally freakin' Jack in a frickin' bulldozer, which he uses to upend the trailer! Whoa!
Bauer the Builder!
As Quinn exits through a window that is now on the "roof" of the trailer, Jack jumps him from the shovel of the bulldozer and they fight as only two ex-special-forces types can! Lots of chops, leg moves, leaps, "arghs!", etc. Just when it looks like Quinn has the upper hand, Jack finds screwdriver that he flings like a knife into Quinn's chest, and then drives it home with a two by 4! Holy crap!
Jack flips Quinn over on his back, and tells him "you're dying...tell me when the weapons are getting here!" Quinn tells him they are "already here" before shuffling off to the Big Baddie den in the sky. Jack pulls Quinn's cell phone from his pocket and immediately sees a text message saying "Port of Alexandria. Yard C. 2230." Quinn has learned nothing from the Chris Brown/Rihanna fiasco. Always delete sensitive texts! Always!
I saw something like this at Cirque Du Soleil
We go to a split screen showing everyone...including Larry finding Senator Mayer's body. He calls in to Janis and informs her that Bauer killed the Senator and they need to update their little APB thingy to "shoot on sight!" Janis says copy that.
Tony's trying to figure out what 15% of $1.75 is.
Ba-Bum-Ba-Bum-Ba-Bum-Ba-Bum!
There you have it Gasmii! I thought this week's episode was a welcome change of pace from the all the whiz-bang action of the last few weeks. I think they are setting up the final showdown nicely, although I would've preferred the mystery of Starkwood's involvement to have played out a little more slowly. What did you guys think? How about the preview for next week and the seemingly tender moment between M.Prez and Kanin?! Is that why Olivia hates him? See you next week!

Wow, this show is BACK! The fight between Jack and Quinn was awesome!
This season has had more plots and more action so far than the last season did for the entire 24 episodes. The characters are great, too.
The pres's daughter is one scheming, hateful BITCH. Having been a lobbyist, she is probably on Swampwater's side. I mean Starkweather. Oh, whatever. It makes me wonder what that whole weird exchange with Aaron was about.
Thanks for the great recap, dogsnaxx.

Yeah, that was a great episode! Loved the recap as usual! Your screencaps are always dead on! And a special thanks for giving me something else with which to torture my 4 year old daughter. She gets so pissed when I sing "Bauer the Builder". lol. I about died when I saw the bulldozer or whatever it was turning over that trailer.
I hate Olivia more each episode. I'll see that BITCH and raise it to a See You Next Tuesday. Good lord. Even if her mom is nailing Kanin - get over it. I guess if they are bumping uglies, that would explain why Taylor didn't go apeshit on Kanin when he 'fessed up to what happened with Burnett.
Too bad about Mayer too. I didn't expect him to come around, and was disappointed to see him killed. Jack's had people help him before, but I've rarely seen someone reach out like Mayer did - it's a shame.
I wonder how Renee is going to get out of her suspension/detainment. I can't imagine they'll just phase her character out at this point?

Weird, Anonymous is me - jjnoza in case the name gets screwed up again when I send this. Not that it matters really, I guess.

@ pixielated
Very interesting theory! I hadn't considered a link between Ol'-Evil-ia and Starkwood. I was seeing more of a "misguided youth who will have a redemption story arc down the line when she realizes her elders brought wisdom and experience to the table" thing. Either that, or some terrorist would shut her up for good. Whichever way her story arc is going, the sooner they get there, the better! I'm tired of the smug act! Maybe Aaron will "knock" some sense into her?
@ jjnoza
I've double posted on the comments section myself...know how that goes. Incidentally, I get an email update every time someone comments on one of my posts. The email update told me you posted a comment, but it showed up as anonymous here on the site. Weird!
The pictures and screen caps are seriously the most fun part about creating these recaps! How could you not love the faces Plum Puddin' and everyone else make?
Also...don't torture your daughter with "Bauer the Builder"! Think about what the late Senator Pansy-Pants Dick Head Blaine Mayer would say about torture! Peace, love, and brotherhood! That's the answer!

Good point on the torture... Not to mention, I could wind up creating a little Olivia of my own. Aaaaah! Perish the thought!
