Team China is just about ready to blow the sewer grates under CTU, so Nerdy Hipster starts to override and disable the CTU security system. Meanwhile, Milo, whose hair has clearly grown a couple inches over the course of this "day", asks Nadia if they've heard anything from Mike, which they haven't. He is about to say something else, then changes his mind and walks away to stare off into space. Nadia, who is onto this emo Milo act by now, tells him that she knows that he's upset about the Look that she and Mike shared. Milo says that if her feelings for him have changed and that she likes Mike better now, it's okay. She says she honestly doesn't know what she feels and that she needs time to sort it out. Because it's simply too hard to choose between the psychotic man-child who tortured her just a few hours ago and the greasy, needy bumpkin standing before her. Sigh. Remember the days when the Tony-Michelle office relationship was all we needed, because it was awesome? Now we get this terrible excuse for a plotline - Nadia having to choose between two asshats? If only there were some radical way to resolve this quickly and bloodily...
Chloe is able to find security footage of Cheng's vehicles leaving Bloomfield. Nadia goes to relay this to Mike, but she can't get him on the line. Team China blows the sewer grate, as CTU scrambles to figure out why the phone lines are dead and they can't access any servers. Hipster downloads all of the CTU security camera feeds to Asian Mike's PDA, so Team China starts making their way inside. Milo gets off the phone with security, and casually says that all of the surveillance cameras have gone out at once. Nadia tells Chloe to activate a Code Red. Huzzah!
Team China bursts in and starts killing random security guards while Jack, Marilyn, and Josh listen from their respective rooms. Nadia yells at everyone to get to their assigned safe rooms, but before anyone can leave, the gunmen make it into the main room and start firing into the air and forcing everyone onto the ground. Jack is yelling at the security guard outside his room to let him out. The guard, apparently one of the smarter ones on the force, decides to listen to Jack, who tells him that they need to get upstairs because there are civilians there. Also, he'll need a weapon. "Yours will do," I would have Jack say if I were writing this episode. The guard gets shot, and the gunman doesn't see Jack there, so he kicks down a door and runs off. A fatal error, indeed. Some more men show up shooting, and Jack shields himself behind the guard, who might have only been injured before, but who is now surely dead. Jack shoots at the men and breaks a lot of glass. CTU's emergency glass replacement bills must be through the roof.
"Fuck you, door! I'm a badass!"
Asian Mike is shouting instructions at everyone and tells them to turn off the alarm. Jack is still running around shooting people. In fact, he hides behind a staircase and appears to shoot this one guy in the ASS. It's awesome. What an honor. Jack shoots out some more glass, then upgrades to a bigger weapon. Nice.
Asian Mike asks, of the CTUers on the floor, who is in command. Nadia, scared out of her mind, doesn't say anything. Asian Mike asks once again, and just as she's about to stand, Milo pipes up and says that he is Acting Director of CTU. Asian Mike makes him come closer, then SHOOTS HIM IN THE HEAD. Damn. Milo Pressman, ladies and gentlemen. He finally redeemed himself by saving the woman he loved, then died five seconds later. I think it would be really funny if the replacement director came in at this moment: "Okay everybody, let's get back to -- WHA??"
No silent clock for you, MILO.
Marilyn and Josh see gunmen coming towards their room and decide to barricade the door with a couch. You stupid woman. The walls are made out of glass. The men have guns. But I guess no one seems to realize this, because the men still force their way in through the door instead. Team China needs a lesson in efficiency. Anyway, they radio back to Asian Mike that they found Josh, and he tells them to bring him back. Huh?

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.
