Things take a sweet turn when Kim tells him how much she's missed him, and Jack admits he's missed her too. He apologizes for everything she's had to live through because of him (and the show's crazy writers). Kim 2.0 actually sounds like a well-adjusted adult when she tells him not to apologize, that she pushed him away and blamed him for all the mistakes she made in her life, which was "stupid and immature." She is sorry for all the time they've lost. Jack sits silently, so Kim brings up the treatment and his refusal to ask for her help. Jack tells her it's "experimental" and he doesn't really think it'll work. Kim wonders aloud if that's true of if he's just afraid to ask her. Jack tells her there's a risk to her, and she totally tells him it's a "small" one and worth taking! He tells her that any risk is too much and he really doesn't want her to have to deal with the pain of watching him die.

Kim implores him to reconsider, telling him she doesn't want to lose him. It's all very sad and melodramatic. She starts to cry, and they FINALLY embrace! Jack tells her it's going to be "alright"...meaning what? His death? WTF?! They both kinda cry and embrace until Jack recoils in pain! Kim wants to know what's going on, and he tells her she needs to leave. He begs her to go...calling her "baby" and "honey". Kim tells her daddy that she loves him "so much" and he tells her that he loves her too...now will she PLEASE get the F out of there? With a kiss on the cheek and a few sniffles, she finally leaves. When she's out of eye-sight, Jack breaks down in the waiting room and starts sobbing, head in hands! Awww...

Back at the compound, a nameless Fed calls in a "clear perimeter" message and gets into his SUV. But wait! That nameless Baddie that left Stokes to go on a "Perimeter Check" earlier pops up and shoots him dead! The Baddie is about to steal the SUV, when another agent comes around the corner and orders him to freeze. The second Fed calls in a Code Red, disarms the Baddie, and searches his bag. The Baddie watches as the G-man totally (bad habits die hard) discovers a canister of the bio-weapon in his bag and calls Big Larry! Ruh-Roh!

The second Fed, Davis, informs Larry that he's got a Starkwood Op in custody that killed an agent and has a canister of the Bio-Weapon on him. Tony looks interested in that little message. Larry starts to ask Davis if he's "sure", when the nameless Baddie karate kicks Davis in the face, steals his gun, shoots him dead, and takes off with the bio-weapon and SUV! WTF?!

Larry calls Renee and brings her up to speed on the Escaped Baddie with germies in a government vehicle thing! She's surprised to hear this, because she hadn't factored in the six remaining episodes this season. Larry tells her to shut down all the access roads, alert the DC police, and yada yada...he's going to pursue the vehicle by chopper as well. Renee asks if this is another attack, and Larry says he doesn't know, but there's enough prion variant in a single canister to take out a small city! Holy Moly! The chopper, with Almeida in it, fires up and we cut to break!
When we return, Larry's chopper is in hot pursuit! Tony sits silently while Larry orders the pilot around and asks for intel.

Back at FBI HQ, Renee and Janis huddle around a computer trying to find the SUV via GPS. Renee asks how long it'll take, and Janis tells her the satellite needs to reposition. This give Janis an opportunity to ask WTF?! is going on? Renee tells her that a dude got away with a canister. Janis is all: But Tony destroyed all of the bio-weapons. Renee says "apparently not!" Janis asks how he got away, and Renee mentions the two murdered agents and stolen vehicle. There has to be a reason they showed nosy Janis asking all these questions, right? I mean Renee basically just recapped the scene we all watched, so it couldn't have been for our benefit.

Funny recap, Dogsnaxx.
I can't imagine old Hodgesy taking orders from anybody at this point in his delusion, so whoever else is involved, they must be more equals than bosses. I wonder if Williams (Powers Boothe) has anything to do with it. And I still hold out hope for Ho-livia, even though I doubt she would do anything against her mom--maybe she got involved when she and Mom were on the outs.
Beats me how Tony fits into all of this. Maybe he was involved just to get access to the bioweapon for whoever he's working for.
I'll miss Larry. It figures he gets killed just when he gets with the Bauer team.

Great recap - I always look forward to reading it every week!
I'm TOTALLY (:-P) mystified about Tony. I guess what confuses me is how far he took things when working with Jack and Co. - why do all that - killings, destroying the bio-weapons, getting whats-his-face (Matobo?) and his wife back? Especially killing Emerson, since it seemed as if there were some sort of brotherhood thing going on? Just weird. I'm interested to see how it all turns out.
I still wonder if that man Ho-livia was meeting with when we first saw her has some sort of connection, since he specifically asked if she had her mother's ear.
And Kim. Ugh. If she's going to be inflicted on us, the least she could do is donate some stem cells. That has to hurt less than all that bleach on her hair does. Yeah, I shouldn't go there, but come on... Her hair glowed in the dark and looked plastic. Anyway...
I'm with Pixielated re: Larry. He finally grew on me, and bam, he's gone. I have to admit though, I started laughing when Tony started to smother him and Larry got that disgusted, you've-got-to-be-fucking-kidding me tone, and said "Oh GOD".

Forgot to add - I think this was my favorite screencap -
"Rules baaaad. Blow shit up goood. Eat bad guys braaains even better!"
I don't know how you manage to get so many eyes rolled back shots of Renee, but I bow to you!

Yeah, I love zombie Renee, too.
Ooh, I forgot to say that I love your monkey! And so apropos of what happened this episode!

@ Pixie and JJ
I think you guys are my biggest fans! haha. Thanks for the recap love...it was a tough one to write this week! Lot's of "talking head scenes" and weird shifts in pace/action.
I am with you on Tony. The fact that he worded so dang HARD for the good guys and seemed so legitimately upset by President Taylor's delays and stuff? WTF?! I'm just hoping this doesn't turn out to be some last-minute lame "You better pardon me" ploy.
I think there's more to Seaton than meets the eye...don't know why.
Guess we'll see next week!
RIP Big Daddy Boss Moss. Your premature ejaculation issues are now fondly in Renee's memory. Your grumbly growls and by-the-books pontificating torch will need to be picked up by someone else.

I don't understand why JJ and I are often your only posters, Dogsnaxx. I think your recaps are great and so is the show. What's not to love?

I think we're creepy stalkers, and there are plenty of creepy lurkers! :-P
I know I enjoy the recaps because not only is DS funny as shit, but I only watch the show once, and he always manages to pick up subtleties that I missed the first time around, makes me think a little more than just being purely entertained by the show.
And yeah, something has to be up with Seaton. He's going from looking uneasy to shifty.

Do you think that Seaton saving Tony's life was all part of a scheme for the two of them to meet up and continue their plan? If Seaton is a genius, he may be the mastermind, huh? At some point he might have figured out that Hodges is nuts and decided to freelance by stealing the bioweapon and selling it or using it for extortion or whatev.

I've started to look at IMDb. It's a little spoilery. It doesn't tell what is going to happen in future episodes, but it does have a cast list. Some characters are going to disappear in the next few episodes (one notable one--no, not Larry), and there is a guy who may be significant who is of, let's say, a different ethnicity. Hmmm.
I don't want to "spoil" anybody, but you can take a look if interested.

Oh, now that is an interesting theory!
I'm going to check out the "spoilers" too - I can't resist - thanks for the FYI!
10 of 14 | Posted by jjnoza | Posted on April 20, 2009 6:54 AM
Uh-oh!
I'm going to avoid the spoilers until at least after tonight's episode!
If I'm as confused after tonight, I may go ahead and spoil away...
Only 6 episodes left! I read last week that season 8 is starting to go into production already. Time flies when you're having fun, eh?

I read it's going to be set in NYC next season - has anyone else heard that? That would be pretty cool!
Pixie - whoa. That's all I'm going to say after checking IMDb! I would never have thought to check that - thanks!

@ JJ
Season 8 is definitely going to be set in NYC. Unfortunately, I heard they are only using the city for establishing shots and a few exteriors...but that the bulk of the season will be filmed in LA.
It's too bad...NYC could use the production jobs!

>I think there's more to Seaton than meets the eye...don't know why.
I agree. Although I was really looking forward to watching Tony kick Seaton's ass for the double cross, I agree with pixielated that it was all part of a larger plan between the both of them. I've been suspicious of Seaton from the get-go. Hodges was too bat-shit crazy to be the mastermind and was obviously just being used as a pawn.
