I had a dream last night wherein I was almost attacked by a swarm of angry bees. An online dream dictionary informs me that this signifies "good luck, harmony, and bliss." I can't say the same for our dear Jack Bauer. He was stung by an actual bee, and that bee's name is Cheng. And it's all for his sweet honey, Audrey.
Wow. I guess I didn't get much sleep last night after all.
Hey look! A 24 recap!
Mike "I like Tinkertoys" Doyle patches up Jack, saying that he should really be in a hospital. Yeah, and Jack should also be President of the Universe, but we can't always get what we want. The military has taken over, and the Marines are coming to get rid of the bombs. We then get an Oprah Moment with Mike, who thanks Jack for all he's done today. Everything I know is telling me to hate Mike, but it's times like these, when he shows undying respect for The Bauer, that I have to appreciate him. You're all right, kid (sometimes).
Jack scampers off to call his beloved. Cheng picks up and teases him in that infuriating voice of his. Jack offers to give himself up, but Cheng points out that a man who will not break is of no use to them. Hehe. Jack wins the silent treatment contest! Cheng instead wants the component from the triggering mechanism of the Russian suitcase nukes. With this, the Chinese will have access to all of Russia's defense technology. Science! Simple exchange: the chip for Audrey. "If you refuse, I kill her!" Cheng cheerfully chirps. I guess he is kind of a fun guy.
"Jack! I sure could use a shower!"
Jack says for the 1,455th time this season that this will cause World War III and that there's no way he can do it, but Cheng correctly insists that he will find a way. Jack asks to speak to Audrey, who apologizes for everything. Cheng steals the phone away and tells Jack that he has an hour. HOW CONVENIENT!
A very comatose-looking President lounges in his bunker chair while Tom sneaks in to suggest that he maybe go to medical. You know, because he should be dead by now. Wayne says he can't do that, because it will give Daniels another reason to make a swipe at the presidency. Tom coyly assures him that that won't happen. Oh, Tom. A woman's heart is a deep ocean of secrets. Wayne presses and Tom finally caves and tells him about the recording he has of Daniels conspiring to commit perjury. Karen flits in to inform them both that CTU has recovered the two remaining nukes and that Fayed is dead. She neglects to mention the awesomeness of death by chain hanging, but whatever. Wayne declares that he will address the press from upstairs, as "There's no need for us to be hiding underground for a minute longer." Well! Nothing ominous about that!
"Sir? Are you dead yet?"
Bill is briefing his minions on what's going to happen next, and congratulating them for a job well done. Chloe gets a phone call, and of course it's our boy Jack, once again trying to convince her to break the law for him. He explains the Audrey situation to her, and she is wowed and says they have to tell Bill, who by now is probably launching into some sort of "There comes a time in every man's life..." speech. Jack says he'll never go along with it. Chloe makes The Face and sneers, "Go along with WHAT?"
He tells her his plan and she of course refuses but eventually caves. He needs the schematics for the bombs, which happen to exist solely on Morris' computer. She sneaks over to his terminal, pulls up the files, and starts sending them to Jack's phone. It takes an excruciatingly long time. Morris is still in rapt attention over at Bill's "I have a dream" speech. The file is still transmitting when the meeting adjourns, Bill screaming "Ask not what your country can do for you..." as his minions disperse. Morris is just about to arrive when the file finishes loading. Phew! That was almost mildly exciting! (Honestly, who fears the wrath of Morris?)

When President Palmer collapsed, I officially gave up on 24. This season was just too much. How many sharks have they jumped so far?
