Did anybody else notice at the beginning of this episode that there were a lot of clips from the previous week? I'm not entirely sure what it means, but they seemed to be putting a lot of focus on Vladimir Bierko, which is strange considering he's already captured. It's almost as if they want to remind people who haven't seen every episode why he was such a bad guy, just in case something happened to him later and we need to be well-informed. Then again, that was probably just a coincidence.

Jack is still on the plane and after throwing out some talk about tangos (no mention of Victor's vector, Clarence's clearing, or Roger's reading); he puts a call into Karen. Everybody always talks about how Jack always seems to get amazing cell reception, but I think what is more amazing is whatever is powering that thing. You could strap a car battery onto the back of most phones and they wouldn't have as much talk time as Jack's. His phone is probably just scared to go below two bars for fear of pissing him off, or perhaps the reason he always has that messenger bag is to keep a dozen spare batteries nearby.

After giving Karen an update on his progress and letting her know that they'll be back at the Van Nuys airfield in approximately 21 minutes, Karen tells him that she will send a tactical team to meet him. The president is sure to have people looking for Jack, so he needs a corridor out of the place. By this time, Karen has sort of reinstated Bill, and although I am sure he was happy to be back working, you know he was kind of disappointed that he had to leave his bachelor pad. He was probably looking forward to kicking back with a few beers catching the late night X-Files reruns on FX.

More importantly, Jack learns that Audrey is recovering in the CTU infirmary and she'll be "just fine". Considering the only person to make it out of the CTU infirmary no worse than he started was Christopher Henderson, I don't know how I would consider anybody forced to spend time in that place safe. Immediately, I thought that perhaps something would happen with Audrey and Bierko since he was still recovering, and then I got really worried because Curtis came in the room, but I was relieved to hear that Curtis was only there to give Audrey some better news. Secretary Heller was alive! But how could that be?
