At the terminal, Kim gets called to the ticketing desk for a standby ticket while the evil couple eyes her evilly. Once at the desk, the agents put her on the phone with Renee who informs her she's in Stranger Danger from Tony Almeida and his crew. Kim recalls the spooky Hispanic man from earlier, but Renee tells her that was a Federal Agent and he's been murdered. She mentions the live feed, and want to know if Kim has noticed anyone with a camera, cell phone, or something? Kim says "or a laptop" and the pieces all click into place! She tells Renee about the nice couple who've been hanging with her and starts to describe the man, when he pops up right behind her! Yikes! She covers and tells him the call was from security who had to break into her luggage because she left her "electric toothbrush on." Is that what they're calling them these days?
Renee senses the danger and calls in an alert to have the terminal locked down...but try not to be too obvious about it, mm'kay?
Meanwhile, Kim tries to divert the couples' attention from the phone call by showing them pictures of Little Teri. Unfortunately, the airport PD are being pretty indiscreet about swarming the terminal, and Hippie Hubby gets the Heebie-Jeebies! He tells his wifey to "take" Kim, which she does at gunpoint while he starts blasting at the Po-Po with a gun! (How'd they get a gun and knife through security, anyway?)
Hippie Hubby takes out a bunch of cops, while Mrs. Posey holds Kimmie hostage with her knife at her throat. Kim finds a ballpoint pen in her pocket, and stabs Mrs. Posey in the leg, freeing herself! The cops quickly take the Evil woman out, while Hubby keeps blasting away! He's about to shoot a helpless Kim, when one of the cops finally gets a good shot in and gets Hubby in the leg. He high-tails it out an emergency exit with his laptop while Kim calls Renee and lets her know what went down. Renee starts to tell Kim that they need to dude to find her father/Tony! She probably meant to tell Kim to just figure out which way he's heading, but Kim's phone cuts out (damn low battery!) and she takes that as a cue to chase after Hippie Hubby in her heels as we cut to break!
Five minutes later, Olivia oozes into Kanin's holding room and demands he fork over the data card from the digital recorder, and threatens him with a strip search in the process! He does his best to reason with her, and fibs a little about the recording being a personal account of his final days in office and that he feels entitled to it. She tells him that nobody is entitled to remove sensitive materials from the White House, and it's a matter of National Security (not selfish, entitled ass-covering). He tells her she's overstepping her authority and he's worried she doesn't know what she's getting herself into! She calls a waiting agent into the room and has Kanin searched, lying the whole time about how her Mother knows exactly what is going on and chooses not to be involved. The agent retrieves the data card, and a satisfied Ho-Livia orders him "processed out", while she destroys the card and sighs with evil relief!

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!
