Kim is still in the airport hanging out with Parker Posey's Mom and the Long-Haired Hippie Hubby dude. Kim is fidgety and worried that she won't get on the flight, as she's flying stand-by. Hippie Hubby helpfully reminds her that she'll be OK because people are probably spooked about flying after the two flights that went down today. That elicits a vaguely confused/suspicions look from Kimbo. A gentleman approaches the merry trio and asks Hippie Hubby to clear away his laptop that's positioned directly in front of Kim so his elderly Mom can have a seat. When Hippie Hubby appears reluctant, it brings about Suspicious look #2 from Kim. #3 follows shortly when kim notices the big bleeding scratch on HH's neck! Mrs. Posey tries to cover mentioning that Hubby hit his neck on the door of the cab earlier. He heads off to find a "band aid" while Kim looks around slightly unsettled. Nothing that happened in the entire last hour clued her in to the creeps she's hanging out with, but the Bauer Genes kicked in and in 30 seconds, her Spidey Sense started to tingle!
Turns out the "band aid" thing was just another of Hippie Hubby's lies, as he heads away from Kimbo and calls Cara. He's a little worried that she's getting suspicious and might "make" them. Cara's helpful advice is to hold his damn horses and, whatever he and fake wifey do...they CAN NOT be taken alive.
Back in the FBI van, Jack makes his move. He starts out by asking Renee to be a bud and let him borrow her communications device, which she unquestioningly hands over. After disabling her device, Jack pulls his weapon and starts barking demands at everyone. Renee is super duper confused and gives Jack a "WTF?!" look. Jack demands their weapons, or he'll be forced to shoot. Renee calls bullshit, so Jack proves his point by shooting the random agent in the leg while Tony smirks! Renee, of course, would like to please know WTF is going on, but Jack is too busy instructing the driver to cuff himself to the steering wheel and ditch the rest of the convoy by taking a quick exit from the highway.
The rest of the vehicles and chopper start freaking out and asking Renee to please tell them what the freakin' heck is going on?! Renee, communications devise disabled, does not respond. At HQ, we see Janis with a worried expression on her face, and Chloe with a "oh man...not again!" expression.

Even Chloe's worried eye-rolls are somehow offbeat!
Thankfully, we aren't subjected to a drawn out sense of confusion and later reveal between Jack and Renee. As the van speeds toward Cara, Jack answers Renee's "Why!?" questions by filling her in on the whole Agent Franks dead and Kim in the hands of Tony's dirty operatives stuff. Renee turns her wrath in the right place, calling Tony a "sunovabitch!" while Tony barks at Jack to stop spilling the beans!
While the Feds scramble to maintain a visual and reconnect with the wayward van, Jack orders the driver to swerve into a tunnel where they pull up to Cara's waiting vehicle. Renee pipes in again with "you don't have to do this!" and Jack, realizing she hasn't been around for the first six seasons, informs her that what he can't do is let Kim be harmed! While he and Tony cuff the Feds, Jack whispers in Renee's ear that they have a camera on Kim at the airport, and he doesn't trust them to let her go. Once he disappears with the star witness he needs her to pwetty pweeze put all of her energies into saving his daughter! He probably was about to apologize for the "shooting her agent in the leg" bit, but a dirty look from Tony gets him moving.

I've loved your recaps all season, Dogsnaxx. Brilliant job providing the snark for a mostly brilliant season of 24!!!
So many funny moments from the finale, you had me laughing the entire time. I hope you're back in January, when 24 takes Manhattan!!!!

Dogsnaxx - Excellent recaps all season long! I thought this season was as good as the earlier ones.
I too am shocked that Kim Bauer can actually make a smart decision! Maybe some magical stuff happened after she named her baby Teri!
Bad Olivia is gone! (I saw the same actress as a rape victim on Law & Order: SVU and I felt no sympathy!! I guess that means she did a good acting job)
Prez Taylor does everything right! (as we all know a woman president would do!)
Looking forward to the next season.

Yay! The finale recap! Awesome job, DS! Love the screencaps too - you really have a talent for picking ones that are ripe for hilarity!
"who had to break into her luggage because she left her "electric toothbrush on." Is that what they're calling them these days?" - LOL! Couldn't believe Kim didn't bitch things up this time - go Kim! But stay away next season!
Glad to see Ho-livia get hers. Nasty, snide bitch. She was intolerable during the whole Kanin interrogation - I wanted to kick her in the hoo-ha.
Are you going to be doing recaps for other shows? Or is this it until January? I'll miss your wit if the latter is the case!

@ Everyone!
It's been an honor and a joy recapping the season for you all! It was a tremendous learning experience and a lot of fun when I was dealing with stupid tech issues and wanting to put my fist through the computer monitor!
I think I'm going to take a little break for the summer (19 weeks in a row of exposition heavy recaps are a lot!) But I hope to be back soon with another show (assuming Flipit hasn't disowned me because of my late finale! ;-) )
Hope you all have a great summer! It's been a lot of fun talking trash and enjoying the show with you guys!
