Meanwhile, Mike is "interrogating" Nadia. And by interrogating I of course mean giving her one of his patented choke holds. He says he'll do anything to get the information he needs. But oh ho! Nadia says she knows what he did in Denver, she knows he enjoys hurting people. And he gets off on it. Ooh. 24 has taken a sexy turn. He goes to smack her again but Milo interrupts and puts a stop to it, telling him that Morris was able to get the info and an address. I'm really enjoying the way everyone is so sinisterly sneering the delightful sounding "1530 Hillcrest".
The Incredible Aging Woman.
Jack is in the infirmary (alive, strangely enough) and looking through Audrey's file. Which has a nice big red DECEASED stamp on it. Ouch. He flips through some pictures of her body, which are extremely bloody but do not clearly show her face. Yeah, she's totally still alive. He then sees some CTU henchmen scuffling about, and since guys running around in bulletproof vests is as distracting to Jack as shiny things are to Britney Spears, he asks them what's going on. They tell him about Drone Dude. Jack is Intrigued.
Bill is going over the details of the raid with everyone. Jack is walking by, eyeing him. Bill tells the CTU temp to have them seal off a perimeter. Yay perimeter! Enjoy your easy escape, bad guy! Chloe gives Jack some more details, then runs off to get him a phone and a PDA. Bill finally asks him what the hell he's doing, so Jack asks why he didn't tell him about Audrey. Bill stutters out an answer, saying that her death was an accident. But Jack thinks, nay, he KNOWS, that she was murdered. He doesn't want her to have died saving him for nothing, so he plans to carry this raid out, and then go after the people who killed her. Oh Jack, it's probably your long-lost stepsister or something. Siblings are just popping up out of the woodworks this season.
Over at the simply magical address of 1530 Hillcrest, things are humming. Once the droooone passes a set perimeter line, it will detonate, and it will reach the target in about three minutes. Drone Dude calls Gredenko to assure him that everything is all set and nothing can possibly go wrong. Then he realizes that he's a terrorist on 24 and that everything will most definitely go wrong. Probably within the next few minutes. Those wacky Russians!
Jack is waiting outside. He coordinates with Bill and Chloe, formulates a plan, and prepares to move in. Mike sees that Jack is in pain and asks if he should take over, but Jack refuses and takes off. Mike utters the first smart thing he, or anyone for that matter, has said all day: "Whatever you say." The only words you should ever need in the presence of Jack. Smart man, that Doyle fellow. Jack shoots an anonymous henchmen, then he and the team move into the building. They shoot Drone Buddy, then get into a shootout with Drone Dude himself. He fumbles in a bag for a grenade, but then gets shot and it falls on the floor. Sweet, free grenade!
Jack remembers that he's not just here to shoot people and finally notices all the computers and radical looking joysticks. He radios Bill that the target is San Francisco and that the controls are for navigation only, not detonation. They figure out that he needs to steer it away from the perimeter, and Chloe says that he can't do it too sharply or it will stall. And he has to do it within thirty seconds!! And there are killer bees attacking!! And a volcano just exploded outside!! Jack keeps his cool and manages to steer the droooone away from the perimeter. But it starts to stall, so he needs to land it somewhere. Somewhere UNPOPULATED, he blares. Chloe finds a runway type area (or as Milo says, "wunway") and Jack is able to bring it in for a very rough landing. So rough, in fact, that the once adorable drooone is now smoldering in flames. That can't exactly be good. The screen goes to static and everyone in CTU stares at it, thinking detonation.
Best video game ever.

Great recap! I thought this episode was pretty good. I loved "check your breath" kiss - haha! Are we really supposed to believe that Chloe and Morris were ever married?!
As for the Nadia situation...I think Milo may be involved. It's a little weird how she was using his access codes, but on her computer and then she got caught for suspicious activity…but then they didn’t notice she was using Milo’s info...I don't know - I think something is up there.
Also, right on about the Presidential doctor being is such a rush, not able to talk to Karen. I was thinking the same thing…what was he doing - making his rounds?! Missing final jeopardy??…come on!!
Keep up the GREAT work!!

This recap had me weak! I loved the Anchorman reference. And I too thought the same thing about the drone- Awwwwwww. But the best part of the show was the ineptitude slam. No one can accuse you of ineptitude Screampillar - you're freakin awesome. Keep up the good work!
