Hey Jack: The Plane! The Plane! - 
by J-Unit
I really enjoy the entire season of 24 from the four hours in two days premiere to the finale, and all of the hard perimeters and sockets in between. There is something special about these last four or five hours, however. The show already has plenty of suspense, but the producers know we are on edge and seem to turn it up a notch. Just when we think we have a handle on how things may play out, we are thrown a new villain, some unlikely hero arises from all the confusion, and JAck will inevitably be thrown into some impossible situation. And I don't know if you are anything like me, but I am clutching my pillow, waiting for somebody we've all been pulling for to get shot unexpectedly. I'm out of breath just thinking about it.
Last week was not a good one for Jack Bauer, so hopefully these next sixty minutes will be a little easier for him. Things start off pretty well when we learn that Henderson did not completely sever Audrey's brachial artery. Now personally, I would think that Jack would be more worried about loss of blood. I was waiting for Audrey to say, "No, it's just a scratch, really! Just reach into my bag. I have a suture kit". Still, you know the Intrigue Coat has stain guard, so if Audrey knows a dry cleaner who can get a couple of pints of blood out of cashmere, it might not be a total loss.
By now, Heller has left the presidential compound, and he's decided to place a call into his security team to make sure things are OK. When Jack answers the phone instead of his bodyguard, Heller knows that something is wrong. He tells Jack that he was about to get the President's resignation when Logan got a call and called the entire thing off. Jack then explains that Henderson was able to get the recording and immediately Heller asks if anything happened to Audrey. Jack lies and says that Audrey is OK, and Heller says that if there is anything he can do to help, he wants to do it. Oh, I don't know, you could start by maybe not getting in the way when Jack is trying to save the country? Jack says that he was betrayed last time, and besides, he needs access to satellite imagery so he'll need to call CTU.
Don't worry, I used ScotchGuard
Jack calls Buchanan because he wasn't able to reach Chloe earlier. Conveniently, Chloe decided to head to Buchanan's house after she escaped from CTU, knowing that she would be able to access her laptop as long as she had a remote node. Jack then tells Chloe that they need to be able to track Henderson's location, and at first, Chloe is worried that she won't be able to do any of this without being traced. Then Chloe thinks about, realizes that she only needs to recite a few words from the techno-babble dictionary, and all will be fine. This time Chloe decides she will slip in through the subnet and set up a VPN pathway, so you know that she is really serious.
