Nadia murmurs that he has her cooperation and she'll give him whatever she needs. I am wary of this guy, since when he first came in Nadia said she hadn't received the memo about his arrival because their systems were down, but I could be wrong on that. File it under "Possible Terrorist Activity". Then destroy the file and fire me a couple years down the line when he turns evil because someone has to take the fall. (I miss you, Bill!) Morris, in full-on Dr. Phil mode, approaches Nadia and tells her not to let the Divisioners get to her. But she says that she was responsible, and that "people are dead" because of her. Well, "person" is dead. Morris assures her that there was nothing she could have done, and he should know (whirr whirr). He tells her to stay strong and keep the faith and before you dress caress and whatnot.
Obey the floating head of Nadia!
Tom calls up Daniels to update him on the results of the stakeout, and recommends that he video conference with Suvarov just to lend a little bit more credibility to the fake documents. He also tells him that Lisa was injured - she suffered a lack of oxygen to the brain, but they won't know how extensive the damage is until she regains consciousness. Man, the Federal Government's Brain Damage Ward is crowded tonight! Daniels growls for a while about how could this happen and such, but there's really no time for whining because it's showtime with Suvarov.
Jack calls Marilyn to reassure her that Josh is safe. He tells her that Grandpa wanted to take Josh back to China because he is his legacy. Marilyn is obviously confused, although what she says right after hearing this ("That's it? That's all he said?") sounds a little suspicious to me. What does she care what else he said? I don't know, ever since the days of Nina I have come to suspect anyone and everyone. I'm pretty sure Chloe is a terrorist too, as well as Bill Buchanan and the entire LAPD. Jack puts Josh on the phone with his mother and they share a Nice Moment.
After a rousing "Let's do this!" from Daniels, Suvarov appears via video conference and Daniels tells him that the circuit board has been destroyed, and that they would be happy to supply the evidence that proves this. Suvarov snidely asks if this is the same fake evidence that Bishop sent to his Russian contacts. Ashton Kutcher appears behind Suvarov to inform Daniels that he has, in fact, been punk'd. Suvarov says that Bishop, as one of his operatives, was under surveillance at his apartment and that's how they know about what happened. He promises that if they do not provide real evidence of the destruction of the circuit board within two episodes, er, hours, he will have no choice but to authorize the attack on the U.S. base.
Daniels is back in the Oval Office with his minions, making the preparations for an escalation. Tom, who has just gotten a strange phone call out in the hallway, pops in and kicks out everyone but Daniels and Karen. He tells Daniels that Grandpa is on the other line, and he just so happens to be in cahoots with the Chinese, so it might be a good idea to listen to what he has to say.
"Sir, I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times. If you don't text in the answer to the Idol Challenge, you'll never get tickets to the finale."
Grandpa demands his grandson and clear passage to the country of his choice, in exchange for the circuit board. He gives them the serial number to prove that he has it, which Tom is able to verify. He says that he will be sending encrypted instructions, then hangs up. Karen of course starts arguing that there's no way they can negotiate with him, it would be wrong to give up the life of an innocent boy like that, and they certainly can't trust him because the man is a sociopath. Daniels looks at Tom. "He's a sociopath, she's right about that," Tom sighs, but otherwise thinks that it's a risk worth taking. Daniels takes a time out to think about this, insisting that Suvarov wouldn't normally risk military engagement. The three of them work out that Suvarov is probably being pressured by anti-American generals left over from the old Soviet regime. Which means that they definitely have to get back the circuit board. Which we've already established a hundred times by now!!! GAHH!

This show is sucking so badly that I'm first to comment after several days. Wow. They NEED to appear on the Simpsons or else there won't BE another "day".
The episodes began to suck when the time factor started to be completely disregarded. It made the urgency disappear. Come on, they do things in one hour that would take days to do and expect us to live with it. Just think back on all that's gone on this season. Say good-bye, Mr. Bauer, NOW!
