Josh and Marilyn Bauer are still chillaxing in the CTU Family Room, watching the news. Jesus, get the kid an XBox or something. His dad blew up an entire city and he's got Fox News? No wonder he's going to snap soon. He tells his mother that he wishes he had never been born into this fucked-up family. Marilyn, probably worn out from also doing double-mother duty over on Heroes, tells him that he is not his father and that they're going to be okay. He whines a little more anyway. He certainly is his sister's brother.
It's like an entire family of elves.
Marilyn tells him to get some sleep, while Chloe materializes outside the room. Marilyn goes over to her, and Chloe tells her that she needs to sign her statement. Oh, and Audrey Raines is actually alive. Marilyn is all Bwah? and curses the fact that it's now going to be that much harder to get into Jack's conflicted pants.
Mark Bishop gets a friendly call from Lisa the Fembot. She tells him that they had a crisis with the Russians, but it's been averted, so now she's up for a little more sex. But Bishop snarks, "Isn't Daniels going to want you to stick around so he can paw you every chance he gets?" This is awkward for many reasons, but mostly because Daniels is listening in on this conversation. Though I'm surprised Tom didn't get a little chuckle out of that or mutter "Good one!" to himself. She tells Bishop she'll be there soon, and then they exchange "I love you"s. Daniels looks ill. Tom smirks and tells her that sounded "genuine enough". GOD, I love Tom.
SOMEone woke up on the wrong side of the fembot.
Tom gives her instructions for what comes next: she'll go back to Mark, and somewhere amidst the groping session, she will excuse herself. That will give Bishop a chance to upload the files from her PDA, and he will find one that says that the Chinese agent who was trying to smuggle Russian technology out of the country was taken out. Bishop will then tell his people, and the Russians will call off the strike, at least for the time being. Great plan, except now Lisa is saying she doesn't think she can go through with it. Dammit, woman! You damn well better let that man grope you for as long as it takes! It's for the good of the country!
"Why yes! I AM this awesome all the time!"
Marilyn barges into Jack's holding cell to apologize for telling him that Audrey was dead, then asks if she's going to be alright. She continues to blast him with a barrage of questions, but poor Jack just really doesn't want to talk about it. Way to make him feel better, MARILYN. You're not going to get any more illegitimate elf babies out of him that way. She tells him that she and Josh are going to be leaving in the morning, and she'll be bringing Josh by to see him. And also, when all of this is over, she'll be there for him. IN BED.
Apparently Chloe was missing for a short time last week because she was busy becoming a MAN.
Okay, back to the action. Shots of Cheng and his men planning their mission are interspersed with shots of Mike and his team surrounding the copper facility. They get faster and faster, and at this point it's pretty obvious, to me at least, that Team Cheng is not in that building. But we'll humor them anyway. Cheng tells Asian Mike that all he needs to do is obtain "the package". Ooh Cheng, you saucy devil. Team CTU blows the door and storms the building, which of course contains...no one! I high five myself. Team China, meanwhile, drops down into a sewer, perhaps to go enlist the help of some friendly neighborhood Ninja Turtles.

Thanks Screampillar for a great recap. I don't think I have laughed out loud at a recap since the boys abandoned the tvgasm ship. I love the "fuck you door" pic.
I'm with you - what is so special about the kid? GrandBauer is seriously obsessed with controling him.
I'm just glad this season is almost over. I can't figure out where this is going.

I think they brought Milo back this season so they'll have a familiar character to kill. If Zachary Quinto is killed in Heroes, maybe he'll be back in 24 next season to get killed like Milo.

Yay! Milo is dead! It would have been funnier though if the Chinese dude shot him in the chin first.
