Seriously, it's now like top five in my 24 Favorite Faces list. (Also on the list: after Paul Raines died and Chloe asked Jack if he wanted to "talk about it" - best incredulous Jack expression ever.) Daniels tells him a sordid tale of how, when his wife died, he didn't think he'd ever love again. But Lisa's fembot ways apparently won him over. Tom, still collecting his jaw up from the ground, begins to get that scheming look back and tells Daniels that they may be able to use this to their advantage. Just shoot him in the face, Tom! Claim the presidency that is rightfully yours!

Mike bursts into Jack's holding cell and fills him in on the situation with Dr. SnarkBot. He says that he's going to use drugs on Audrey, and Jack gets that KILL look in his eyes and we all know what's going to happen now. Mike takes off the handcuffs and allows Jack to render him unconscious. Jack takes Mike's gun and keycard, then flees the room to save his one true love. (Actually, she's more like true love number 5 or 6 by now, but who's counting? (Me.))

Best buds FOREVER.

He knocks out the guard in the hall, then makes his way down to the infirmary. As soon as he bursts in, someone yells "Sir, you're not supposed to be here!" Haha. I wonder how many anonymous guards and henchmen have died by the hand of Jack right after yelling that line. Of course, they're wrong. Jack is ALWAYS supposed to be here. He asks Dr. Monotone if he's done anything to her yet, and when he says no Jack throws him to the ground and tells him to consider himself lucky. HA. The good doctor starts to speak, which is such a delight: "Jack Bauer I recognize you from your file You shouldn't be here Seeing you will only make things worse." Jack correctly screams at him to SHUT UP, then undoes Audrey's restraints and leads her out of the room, as the doctor pulls the alarm.

Morris pulls up a video feed of Audrey's empty bed and then Jack's empty holding cell. Nadia initiates a lockdown. Milo, oddly vitriolic, sneers that if Jack had been allowed to talk to Audrey none of this would have happened. Then, since he got caught talking to Nadia, Milo starts to plan his own death.

"I NEED A DRINK!"

Morris is able to narrow down Jack's location to somewhere in the lower levels. Nadia points to Chloe's empty chair and asks where she is, but Morris doesn't know. Huh? Wait, where is she? No time to look on the roof, because now Nadia is badgering Mike about how she finds it hard to believe that Jack overpowered him. Well, Nadia, now you're just being stupid. Jack can rip telephone books with his mind, surely he can bonk little Mikey on the head. Mike half-heartedly denies everything, but Nadia suspects everything correctly, and Mike eventually says that he did what he thought was right.

Morris tracks Jack down and Nadia scampers off to "talk" to him. Jack, meanwhile, drags Audrey down the hall and locks them in a room by dismantling the security keypad. He then pulls her close and tells her that he's going to protect her and take care of her. Audrey seems not to hear any of this and busies herself with admiring the exposed piping. He tries to get her to remember, then lists all sorts of things about her life, like that her father was the Secretary of Defense, she was born in Albany, NY (yeah Upstate!), and her mother died when she was nine. She shows a slight bit of recognition at this last fact, but still nothing.

Morris notices that Jack has sealed himself in that room and informs Nadia, who comes barreling down the hall. She tries to swipe her way into the room, but since Jack killed the box she can't do a damn thing except yell through the wall. Effective. Jack has moved on from Audrey's Precious Memories and is now trying to get her to remember anything about Cheng and the place that he was holding her. But Audrey just continues to stare, perhaps thinking something along the lines of "Aren't you that guy who tackled a Christmas Tree?"

Chloe's totally suicided herself. Totally.

What the hell? Heller is still alive? How?

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.

haha, "change your shoes, mr. rogers, that's a wrap" and even better, the tom lennox picture series -- hilarious, screampillar.

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.
