Wayne is back in the Oval Office, staring at a picture of his deceased brother, with strains of "You'll never be as awesome as me" echoing throughout his subconscious. Daniels shows up and Wayne first thanks him for everything he's done, then asks him to resign. Hehe. Wayne puts on this buddy-buddy voice and tells him that since their partnership has always been a "marriage of convenience" and now that their relationship has really been strained, it's going to be impossible for them to work together anymore. Daniels gets all offended and refuses. He goes to leave but Wayne snaps, "You don't want to walk out that door!" There are ninjas out there!
"I don't understand, sir. Sanjaya is gone. What more do you want?"
Wayne tells Daniels that he knows about the tape, and he's willing to do horrible things with it if Daniels doesn't obey his wishes. He asks for his resignation yet again, not immediately, but sometime in the next week "will do just fine." Daniels is totally licked, screaming "Blackmail! My only weakness!" Wayne dismisses him and slams the door with a rather sassy hand flip.
You go, girl!
Morris is tinkering around his computer and discovers that someone has hacked onto his computer and downloaded the schematics. He goes to call security when Chloe stops him. She tells him it was her, but she can't tell him why right now. Then she runs away. He follows her and demands to know what's going on. So she tells him. Wow, Chloe wouldn't even have needed a power drill in the shoulder, a small nudge on the elbow and a "come onnnn" would be all it took for her to cave. She explains Jack's situation and Morris becomes incredulous, saying that it would be terrible for Jack to give them the chip. Chloe reassures him that the Chinese will never actually get it, because Jack gave her his word. This isn't enough for Morris, presumably because he's never been to Jack Bauer University and is therefore unaware that Jack's Word is irrefutable law.
He says he's going to tell Buchanan. She protests. He walks away, chanting "I'm gonna do it!" Hehe. What a brat. She stops him and says she'll do it herself, then walks up to Bill's office with a Very Sour Face. She tells him there's something he needs to know, and then the camera cuts away. So I'm almost positive she's not telling him, and is instead informing him that he can save 10% by switching to Geico or something.
Jack, meanwhile, is climbing all over the warehouse and sliding down stripper poles and whatnot. He eyes the suitcase nukes and approaches the marines who are guarding it, telling him that he's a CTU agent and he has been ordered by the President to remove the circuit board and transfer it back to CTU. The Marine refuses to let him in. Jack snaps, "Are you countermanding a Presidential order? How dare you, Sergeant?" You have offended The Bauer's delicate sensibilities! You cad! Jack starts yelling and asking for the Marines' names, so they get pretty scared and open the door for him. See, yelling always works.
Wooo! Take it off!!
Jack uses the schematics on his phone (which has a groovy-looking background, by the way) to carefully remove the circuit board. Suddenly, Mike appears, gun drawn, and demands that he step down. Jack points his gun as well and refuses. Eventually the Marine catches on, clocks Jack in the head with the barrel of his gun, and puts him under arrest. So I guess Chloe told Bill after all. There's egg on my face.
Mike gets Bill on the horn and gives the phone to Jack. Jack tries to justify his plan to Bill, but Bill can't let him do it. Jack, Master of Persuasion, keeps at it, but Bill won't budge. Jack finally asks to make one more phone call. "Get me the President of the United States!" he shouts. Well, that's the way I see it happening. In actuality, Jack just sort of whimpers it.

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