While Jack and Tony run back over to the other aisle, Stokes is informed that the container is secure and ready to go. He orders it loaded onto the chassis and radios Cooper to come back. When he doesn't get a response, he sends his man Dolan over to check on him. Dolan finds the fat-ass's dead body, and radios back to Stokes, who calls a code red! Jack is all "ENGAGE ENGAGE!", and he and Tony start shooting the shit out of the bad guys.
In the ensuing fire fight, Jack takes out a dude on the forklift and injures the driver. We see the injured driver swing the sensitive container all over the place and bang the crap out of it! Hey, Forklift Dude, that trailer has WMDs! Don't do that! While everyone keeps shooting at everyone, the forklift operator somehow manages to get the container on the flat bed. Stokes orders the truck driver to get the heck out of there, which prompts Jack to tell Tony he's going after the truck, leaving Tony to take the rest of the baddies all by his lonesome.
While Jack climbs a few containers, Tony runs out of ammo and high-tails it himself! Stokes tells his men to fan out and find the 2 shooters! Jack sees the truck coming and totally jumps on the container! He heads to the cabin, opens the door, punches the crap out of the driver, tosses him from the truck, and takes off with the WMDs...yay!
Jack radios for Tony, but Tony doesn't answer, he's busy getting caught by the baddies! As Jack listens in, Stokes tells Tony he knows who he is and that he was on Emerson's crew and Bauer is with him now. He asks where Jack is, and when Tony doesn't answer, they knock him out! We cut to Jack busting through the fence of the yard and making off with the WMDs!
When we return from break, Jack is barreling along "highway 236" and calls in to Larry Moss. Larry's first question, "Where the hell have you been?!" Jack ignores it and tells him to scramble multiple teams and the CDC to a weigh station at Exit 29. Larry's all: Why? And Jack tells him about the WMDs/Biological Weapon he stole from the Baddies. Larry's all "From Starkood?" and Jack's all "How'd you find out about that?!" Larry's all: "Renee spilled." Jack's all: Larry, just send the teams! I don't care if you arrest me, shoot me, whatever! Also, Tony's being held hostage. Larry agrees to scramble all agencies and the CDC before hanging up.
In his rear-view mirror, Jack notices some kind of flashing red warning light thingy on the trailer. Uh-oh! He stops the big rig in the middle of the street to investigate. The whole bang-up thing withe the forklift ripped a giant hole in the trailer. Jack hears hissing and shines his light inside. Uh-oh! One of the gas containers is leaking! Jack gets a look of terror on his face and turns from the hole. He ponders what to do for a minute and looks at all the traffic filled with innocent folks up ahead. The answer is clear! He's gonna stop the leak himself! Dangerous!
Jack opens the back of the trailer and takes a bunch of deep breaths before going in and shutting down the gas leak! He runs back outside, gasps for a few breaths, and starts running back to the cabin of the truck! But before he reaches the door, he starts getting shot at! A frickin' chopper and SUV filled with gas mask wearing baddies come up and Jack is forced to run away/take cover off the side of the road behind some boulders. The baddies keep Jack at bay by firing on the rocks while they get the WMDs out of the trailer and attach them to the chopper! They fly away with the weapons and the SUV follows.

Great recap - thanks for the laughs! The 'roid pillow was perfect!
Olivia needs a swift kick in the crotch. Smug, snide bitch. I only watch the episodes once, so question for you or anyone... Am I imagining things, or sometime within the last couple of weeks, did the show allude to Olivia's campaign trail leak having to do with Kanin? I wonder what she has against him? He doesn't appear to be nailing the Prez.
I think they jumped the gun with Starkwood too - feels a bit rushed.

Well, maybe we haven't gotten to the bottom of the Starkwood thing yet. Olivia might be more than just an overly ambitious bitch. And maybe Starkwood is working for (or with) somebody.
I hope this is more than just Starkwood's attempt to get the U. S. to use its soldiers in war. It would be great if Hodges wants to be President or if he has somebody he wants to ascend to the throne. I don't know why I suspect Powers Boothe is involved. Or maybe its the Australian guy who is the Veep.

Oh, good call re: Olivia and Starkwood, Pixielated! There could be have been some forshadowing when Aaron interrupted her meeting with the man who wanted to know if she had the President's ear!
Could you imagine Hodges as President? That would be some funny shit.

Damn. I wish we could edit comments. I do know how to spell "forEshadowing".

Hmm...interesting theories.
My money would be on the VP or his staff being involved somehow.
I don't recall Kanin being involved in the campaign leak business other than having the President's back/being her chief adviser. I seem to recall the leak had to do with the opponent, who would have been Powers Booth. Olivia leaked something about him to the press. Kanin worked for him, didn't he? Maybe Olivia found out the "damaging" information from him and then leaked it to the press?

"I seem to recall the leak had to do with the opponent, who would have been Powers Booth."
Yep, that's what was nagging at the back of my mind - thanks! And yeah, Kanin was Daniels' Secretary of Defense.
