Greetings Gasmii! It's time for a little '24' recap action! This week, everyone has a change of heart and exhibits behavior unusual for them. Olivia changes her mind about being a blood-thirsty bitch, Jack changes his mind about Dirty Muslim Imams, Jonas Hodges changes his mind about witness protection after receiving an awful name, and poor little Hamid changes his mind about his big brother!
Follow me...it's all recapped for you after the JUMP!
It's 4AM in Jibraan-Al-Stock-Muslim-Working-Class-Immigrant's apartment. Evil Tony, NOT-Patty, and the rest of the evil Baddie black-clad crew are finishing up their frame-job, which includes explosives in the underwear drawer and falsified bank transactions and internet activity. Jibraan voices his personal frustration (and that of the viewers) when he asks BadTony WTF is going on and what they want! Tony Villony goes all Jonas-Hodges-style psycho on Jibraan and tells him to shut up, read a Jihadi propaganda statement, and do whatever they say...or they will kill little bro and then kill him. Tony drives the point home and convinces Jibraan that he's totally "for serious" by poking him in the forehead.
Over at FBI HQ, Jack gives Chloe a few helpful managerial suggestions to use the recently reinstated CTU servers to pull up any and all information on dirty muslims in the greater DC area. Janis takes offense and freaks out about the "racial profiling" because she's a pain in the ass, and Fox is totally paying lip service to the new realities/politics of the world. Anyhoo...Jack shuts her down by calmly explaining that Crazy-Pants Jonas and his mysterious cabal were going to offload blame to the scary muslims. So racial profiling makes perfect sense in this situation! No arguing with sound logic, right?
Liberal-Pansy-Pants issues shut down...Jack starts dictating new orders to Chloe but loses his train of thought and takes off to free-base his anti-shakey drugs. Chloe freaks out. Janis and Renee let it slip that Jack is infected with the Prion Variant. They're also kinda surprised that Chloe didn't know about it.
Chloe storms through FBI HQ and finds Jack in a quiet corner w/ his little druggy kit. She does the whole indignant "you didn't tell me and I'm your friend" thing. Jack reminds her that getting dirty-f*cking-Almeida is the priority, and there's no hope for a cure anyway. She cries while he shoots up. I totally respect Mary Lynn and Kiefer for keeping straight faces during this scene. I wonder if knowing he'll be getting $500,00 per episode next season made it harder to play sad/resigned to death? At any rate, he implores her to go back to work and focus on the task...which she does.
Back in Jibraan's apartment, the Almeida Baddie Crew are filming a "F*ck You, America!" video starring their helpless patsy. The production is interrupted by a couple of DC's finest. Everyone freaks out, but Jibraan does an admirable job (at Tony's gunpoint behind the door) of convincing the cops the domestic disturbance call was a case of a Muslims Gone Wild house party gone wrong, but he took care of it and sent his friends home. Once the Po-Po are gone, the Baddie Crew gets back to filming...and we cut to break!
Five minutes later, Chloe discovers the Almeida Crew manufactured Jibraan bait. She informs Jack and Renee about the $2Mil in bank transactions and fundamentalist web activity. Since Jibraan is an illegal immigrant, they have no address or contact info other than an Imam named Muhtadi Gohar in Georgetown that he listed as a reference. Renee pulls Jack aside to make sure he's OK, for the umpteenth time in the last few episodes, before they head out to find the dirty Muslim Priest Dude.

Oh God, "Best.Party.Ever", coupled with the look on his face - LMAO!
Thanks for the recap - loved it as usual!
Looking forward to tonight's - just about to start it - should be timed so I can skip the commercials.
Janis should just STFU, and I'm about as liberal as they come. What Hodges said, the whole "Muhammed this, Ahkmed that" was what was really gross.
I hope Ho-livia gets hers tonight. If there's a God in 24, that bitch will. So sick of her. I can't believe she pussied out on the hit - so she's not only a sleazy, skanky, meddling bitch, she's a pussy as well.
Have a good week!

@ JJ
Thanks, as always, for reading! The "Best.Party.Ever!" was probably my personal fave as well. You have good taste! Haha.
Awesome episode this week! I'm getting started earlier so I can go back to the traditional length/hilarity. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
And...Holy Shit! Did you see last night's episode? Awesome!

I hope you didn't give up on me! I was so tired from work all I had the energy to do last night was watch 24.
I love your screencaps and I think your recaps ARE haha funny.
Ho-livia is a big disappointment to me. I thought she was going to be a 1st rate villainess, but really she's just kinda pathetic.
I'm also a little disappointed that the cabal behind this whole thing seems to be the Boring Middle-Aged White People conspiracy.

I still laugh when I see that Best.Party.Ever. It just doesn't get old! He does the same pouty lower lip that my son perfected within an hour of his birth. :-P
I'm with Pixielated - even your shorter recaps are effing hilarious, and it's not as if you skip anything.
And oh yeah, holy shit indeed! I did watch last night. Can't wait for next week, but I'm bummed it's already almost over.
