Ah, but Jack's not done. He tells her he knows what she's been through, that he's been through it too. He knows what it's like to feel as if it's never going to end, and promises that they're gone now and she doesn't have to hide anymore. He then asks for some sort of signal that she understands, but she just continues to twitch. Jack, totally devastated (his life is SO HARD), gives her a hug and tells her that he loves her with all of his heart. His crushed, decimated heart. With this, Audrey grabs Jack's scarred hand, and aww. This will lead to an interesting wedding.

However, it IS funny that right after Jack has told her that she's safe and there's nothing more to worry about, sparks start to fly from behind the door as Nadia and the team start to blowtorch their way in. Unsurprisingly, Audrey starts to freak out, and Jack isn't really helping by telling her that he's going to be taken away from her for a little while and they're running out of time. But seriously, Audrey, everything is just fine! You'll be back in the care of Dr. RoboKill in no time!

The door is breached and Nadia, Mike, and Dr. Bradley burst in. Jack of course draws his gun and tells them he's not going to let them hurt Audrey. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Audrey whispers the word "Bloomfield". Nadia radios this back to Morris so he can look it up, and finally tells the good doctor that he's not going to touch Audrey because while Audrey may be his patient, she's Nadia's witness. Then she sends him away. I doubt he cares. Nadia promises Jack that she's going to keep Audrey safe, so he finally lowers his weapon and surrenders himself. Mike takes Audrey away, and Jack thanks Nadia. So everyone's happy!

So soothing. So peaceful.

Tom gets off the phone with someone and informs Daniels that Russian planes will be in the strike zone of an American base within the hour. Hello, next week's plotline. Please, have a seat. Lisa enters the room, and Daniels sends Tom away. DAMMIT! I truly wish Tom could have stuck around for this conversation. For all we know he would have whipped out a box of sombreros and maracas and done some sort of mariachi dance whilst Daniels gave her the news. Ah well. Daniels does give her the news (sans a latin rhythm) and tells her that the Russians have been getting intelligence from a man named Mark Bishop. Lisa pretends not to recognize the name, but then Daniels plays a tape of a Russian-Mark phone conversation. She then says that he's an acquaintance and nothing more, but Daniels, in full-on Sneering Mode, sneers about them being in bed together and it's pretty much all over from then on. I celebrate, because I don't think there will be any more Daniels tongue-groping from now on.

She swears that she had no idea Mark was double-crossing her like that, but Daniels says that it's still treason. She is now to go back to Mark and make him believe that they have the component back. When she protests, Daniels tells her that she will do exactly what Tom tells her to do (perhaps the salsa) and that if she even thinks about exposing their affair, he's going to throw her into solitary so she'll never get to tell anyone anything with that robotic voice of hers. Truly a loss for the nation.

Audrey is settled back in the infirmary, while at her bedside sits...Secretary Heller! Holy crap! Back from his spectacular careening off the cliff and no worse for the wear, I see. He tells Audrey that he's taking her home and that he's going to look after her and help her to get better. Yeah, okay. Got an electroshock machine sitting around the attic?

He leaves the room and tells Nadia that he wants to see Jack, so she has someone escort him down the hall. Mike approaches Nadia and tells her that Bloomfield could actually refer to a copper refining facility, and they think that might be Cheng's base of operations, so they're checking it out now. Then they share A Moment and Mike voices his approval of Nadia's actions in the end there. Lesson learned! Change your shoes, Mr. Rogers, it's a wrap!

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.
