After the break, Ethan finally arrives at his car. Either he parked an awfully long way from the White House, or he stopped to do a naked jig of joy on the National Mall to celebrate Ho-Livia's downfall. He pops the trunk and swaps his briefcase for a little back containing the listening device. His gym bag remains untouched in the corner of the trunk...and all the tourists that were treated to his naked jig silently shake their fists to the heavens that he doesn't work out a little more often. Anhoo, Ethan pops the data disk in and does a little rewinding. He hits play smack dab in the middle of Ho-Livia and Martin's shady conversation. Too his credit, once again, Ethan has a look of slack-jawed disbelief upon hearing first-hand confirmation that Ho-Livia is an evil, lying, manipulative little bitch.

Ethan was shocked and saddened by Adam Lambert's loss. If only he'd power-voted an additional 10,000 times!

Back at the warehouse, Tony saunters into the medical chamber to hear the "good" news that Jack is a viable host and they should be able to reconstitute the weapons using his organs! Holy crap balls! Tony notes that Jack isn't looking to good and inquires after his condition. Not that he gives a crap, mind you, he just wants to make sure they harvest his organs before he kicks the bucket! COLD.AS.ICE! The Doc tells him the pathogen should survive for a couple of hours after death, and only burning Jack's body at 5,000 degrees or hotter will destroy it. Tony seems pleased with the update and heads out.

finale31

Someone didn't get the memo that Baddies are supposed to scowl a lot and sneer. It's the hapless supporting law enforcement types that are allowed to be weirdly perky.


Meanwhile, Cara schmoozes Boss Allen on the phone. She updates him on the Bauer/Pathogen-recovery thing and does her cheerleader routine for Almeida. Allen is skeptical about bringing Tony into the fold, but Cara persists. She sings Tony's praises to High Heaven and pretty much begs Allen while reiterating how super awesome Tony is at everything. Allen relents and agrees to head to the warehouse to meet Tony in person and supervise the Bauer/Pathogen stuff! Tony seems pleased and he and Cara share a little snuggle.


finale32
"Sorry...I know you're busy. I just love that Almeida scent. It's a heady, intoxicating mixture of tequila, beans, guacamole, gun-powder, and oil! Love it!"

Back in the medical room, the "doctors" prepare Jack for stransport, no sooner have they removed the strap holding him down, than Jack springs the heck back to life! He splices one dudes throat with a scalpel, stabs another in the neck, and chokes the third with his handcuffs! Holy crap, Jack! Once all three "docs" are dead as doornails, Jack high-tails it out of the warehouse and runs out into the daylight.

finale33
In order to deal with the stress of being stabbed in the neck, this Baddie does his best Dixie Carter Lion Pose. Check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1FwGF4Y0Vk to see the inspiration for this photo caption...and prepare to be amazed!

We're treated to a little split screen action of everyone sort of going about their business while the sun rises again on Season 7.

Tony and Cara discover the dead docs and open door of the warehouse. Tony notes that Jack is too weak to have gotten far, so they split up and take off in hot pursuit!

Ba-Bum-Ba-Bum-Ba-Bum-Ba-Bum!

It's 7AM and Renee is hanging out with Kim Bauer outside the parking garage of the hospital. It was pitch black when last we checked in on the girls, but the sun is UP now and blazing like high noon. While Kim paces in the background, Renee calls Chloe and tells her to hurry up w/ the laptop business and find those baddies! Chloe spews a little tech-babble about how hard it's going to be, while Kim freaks out about finding her sick daddy.

finale34

"I don't care if I've been a useless distraction for 6 out of 7 seasons! I just had one good/empowering episode, so now I'm going to get all uppity and boss you around. Got a problem with that Ginger?"

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!
