Daniels, Karen, and Tom are now in a video conference with our old pal Suvarov. Seriously, someday this guy's just going to throw his hands up in the air and proclaim that he's finished with the U.S. They're always screwing him over! He tells Daniels that he knows what's going on with the component, and if Daniels lets Cheng get it out of the country, the Russians are prepared to initiate an "appropriate response". Then he hangs up. Hehe. I'm hopeful because Suvarov means Mrs. Suvarov, and Mrs. Suvarov means more Crazy Martha!! I mean, probably not, but that would be awesome. Daniels growls to Tom and Karen about how the Russians could have found out, and they all conclude that since only the White House staff and CTU knew about it, there must be a mole. To the MoleMobile!
"How could you turn on me, Cisco?! You're the human network!"
Daniels asks Tom how serious this is, presumably hoping for him to say it's no big deal, but Tom puts on a hilarious grave look and says that it's very serious. I LOVE TOM. He and Karen then bombard Daniels with all sorts of harrowing possibilities, and Daniels just massages his temples and tells them to give CTU whatever it needs to find Cheng. Now the shoes on the other hand, EH DANIELS?!
Cheng, meanwhile, is having a grand old time off-roading with his buddies. He takes out the circuit board, admires it, then downloads its data and sends it to some hipster buddy of his. Weird. Hipster informs him that the circuit board is damaged, and they can't fix it until they get the security override. Cheng insists they don't have that information, so Hipster tells him that he needs to find someone with the necessary expertise. Good thing Cheng has Morris's number programmed into his phone!
"Circuit board! Mistah Bauah!"
Lisa and Mystery Guy are engaging in some post-coital kissing. Ew. She goes off to take that much-lauded shower, leaving Guy alone to sneak into the other room and download all the information off of her phone. He calls a man with an accent and tells him they're all set, and assures him that Lisa doesn't know a thing about this.
Chloe corners Morris and asks what's going on. He tells her that he asked for a transfer, and she gets all weird, but not the usual quirky Chloe weird. It's emotional Chloe weird, and it's, well, weird. Also weird is the fact that they're both staring off into space as they're talking to each other. He tells her that she crossed a line and that it's over between them, and although she pleads with him and even squeezes out a tear or two, he finally looks her in the eye and says that they're done. He walks away, leaving Chloe to cry against the wall. Well. I think it's safe to say that Morris will be dead by the end of the day.
"What are we looking at?"
Karen calls Nadia and tells her that the Russians know about the component, then makes it abundantly clear that CTU needs to do whatever it can to get it back. Nadia informs Karen that what they really need is Bill Buchanan. Karen becomes squirrelly and avoids the question. Great. Nadia hangs up and greets the psychiatrist that has just arrived. Thankfully it's not Barry Landes, however it is some sort of weird robot guy. What is it with 24 and cyborgs this season? They're totally in cahoots with Galactica.
Dr. Bradley goes in to examine Audrey, who is in restraints. Yeah, don't want her to wander off and start twitching around Morris. He'd request another transfer. And if she started to twitch around Nadia, Milo would start planning her demise. Audrey continues to stare vaguely into space, perhaps reminiscing about the time she and her father were kidnapped and she had to kick through a pipe in order to leak a toxin into the air and nearly kill them both. Ah, memories.
Good times.
Jack is being led down a hallway in handcuffs, and yelling, as he is wont to do. He is screaming for Mike to stop the briefing, as he knows that the methods they're going to use aren't going to work and will only make her worse. Mike seems to ignore this and puts him in a very mood-lit holding room. Jack pleads with him to take care of Audrey. Mike says nothing and leaves. Look on the bright side, Jack, at least he didn't lock you up in the room where your wife died, right? Silver lining?

Poor old Chloe. I bet she's been kidnapped by Cheng to fix the component - karma for her 'don't arm nuclear weapons for terrorists' call to Morris.

OK, the time compression is getting ridiculous in this goddamn series. By their own clock, Lisa and the stud undressed, boinked, showered and half-dressed in 5 minutes or less. If that's the case, he ain't much of a hunk.
This once-exciting show is deteriorating fast. There have been so many lame twists to this "day" that nothing made any sense ultimately. But the time thingie has got to be the single most annoying piece of bullshit they've been trying to cram down our throats. At this rate, Jack's going to be able to fly to Washington, visit Palmer and fly back, all in one episode.
