Tony exits the van, taking Jack with him as a little souvenir/hostage. Jack takes the opportunity to advocate for the Baddies letting Kim go, but Tony tells him to shut up and get in the car. Cara's a little pissed off because taking Jack hostage wasn't part of the plan and could he please just shoot the dude and get it over with so they can make a clean escape?! Tony tells her she's not seeing the big pictures, and despite losing the last canister, they now have Jack, who is full of the pathogen and can be used to reconstitute the weapons once he kicks the bucket! Apparently, that was Evil-Meida's plan all along, and why he had the operatives placed on Kimmie. Not Cara smirks approvingly at her Evil Genius boyfriend and they speed away with hostage Jack while Renee looks on from the back of the van. And we cut to break!


finale13
"Omigod! I love it when you talk Evil-Genius to me, baby! Tell me more about it."

Five minutes later, Agent Aaron Pierce and Former Chief of Staff Kanin are walking through the White House. Ethan wants to know whassup, and Aaron tells him a little about Hodges murder and his suspicions of Ho-Livia being involved. To his credit, Kanin expresses that Olivia may be a heinous little bitch, but he doesn't believe she's capable of murder. Aaron fills Ethan regarding Olivia's "wanting Hodges dead" rant, as well as the super secret meeting with Martin Collier, the evil sodomite! Kanin is STILL a little reluctant because the writers are working over-time to not bring him down to heinous little Ho-Livia's level. Ultimately, he reluctantly agrees to help Aaron and suspenseful cloak and dagger music plays while he enters the Chief of Staff's office to retrieve the recording from a device hidden behind a picture on the wall.


finale14
"It's hard to explain, Mr. Kanin. There's been a lot of shady behavior today. It started when I found Ms. Taylor in the White House Rose Garden putting firecrackers in kittens' mouths."

Speaking of the heinous Ho-Bag...she's wrapping up her statement by being a vile little bitch and snarking at the prosecutors about their questions. They respectfully end the call, and she breathes a sigh of relief before storming back toward her office.


finale15
"Whew! Dodged a bullet on that one! Time to focus on more important matters such as who I'm going to whore myself out to or kill next to advance my career!"

The cloak and dagger music plays again, while Pierce hears she's on the way back! Kanin starts hilariously fumbling with the recording device and trying to cover his tracks, while Pierce heads into the hallway to stall Ho-Livia. The stalling fails spectacularly, as Aaron barely gets out that he needs to tell her something, before she bursts into the office and freaks out when she discovers Ethan there! Ethan and Aaron concoct a story about Kanin forgetting some files, which he came back to retrieve. Olivia demands to see them. Convinced they are harmless memos, she let's Kanin leave while she gives him the stink eye. Pierce walks out with Kanin, and Ho-Livia calls him back in. (He's fidgeting with his cast when he reenters). She starts bitchily ripping Aaron a new Asshole about letting people into her office when she is suddenly stunned silent by discovering the slightly ajar picture and recording device! She freaks out trying to open the device, and calls security to have Ethan detained when she can't get it open. Aaron plays innocent and asks what's going on, and Olivia tells him that Ethan stole her property!


finale16
We gotta hand it to Ho-Livia...she's able to maintain the whole Smug Bitch thing right up until the end!

Meanwhile, Ethan is high-tailing it out of the White House while the Cloak and Dagger music plays yet again! He's nearly in the clear when the Secret Service detains him on the "Acting Chief of Staff's" orders. Ethan plays stupid and goes along with them.


finale17
"If I just pull my chin all the way back into my thyroid, I'll pass out and not have to deal with this whole uncomfortable arrest of my former boss thing..."

Meanwhile, the Feds have finally caught up with Renee and the wayward van. She informs Janis and Chloe about Jack's desperate jailbreak of Tony to save his poor daughter. Oh, and lest they put Kimmie in more danger, everything needs to be handled super-smoothly! In other words, no airport cops! Janis offers to call the White House to bring them up to speed, while Chloe calls Kim's departure gate in an attempt to fill Lil' Kim in.

pixielated:

Great recap, Dogsnaxx! I can almost forgive you for being so late.

Your screencaps are the best.

Love ya.

slumrville:

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!!!!

taxgirl:

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.

jjnoza:

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!


Dogsnaxx:

@ 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!

Dogsnaxx:

I meant when I WASN'T dealing with crazy tech issues!

jjnoza:

Awww! You'll be missed - but enjoy your break - you deserve it!
