At the end of last week, we were all lamenting at how stupid Jack was for letting the football go. Although he seems like MacGuyver one minute, fashioning a diversion with some bullets, a coffee can, and some dead grass, he wasn't able to figure out a way to slow down the getaway. Couldn't he use his knife and slash some tires, perhaps cut some hoses or belts or something? Even if he just had George Foreman sit them and tell them that they aren't going to pay a lot for a muffler at Meineke would have been better than what Jack came up with.

But that is all in the past. Although the terrorists were not able to get away with the entire contents of the nuclear football, it seems that they got the most important part. You know, the pages that have the launch codes for our entire nuclear arsenal. And whoever made this nuclear football, did you have to put all of those codes in the red section? Doesn't that just scream "Important Pages!" to you?

Knowing that Marwan likely has the launch codes and is planning to secure a nuclear weapon, CTU starts the protocols to begin locating all of the known warheads. Considering all of the weapons we had created to scare the Soviets away, this is quite the monumental task. It's going to be lots of high pressure situations and the people in charge are going to have to work together well, so when Buchanan said that Tony and Michelle would be working on this together, we all sort of wondered what the hell was going on.

The current Tony and Michelle saga is much like their saga as we watched them fall in love for the first time. Every episode, we get about two minutes of them talking to each other in order to sort their feelings out. They have been pretty angry and testy before this, but ever since a few people have been making comments on how the other one seems like they are still in love, Tony and Michelle have been working things out. This week, we had a mutual respect, and an understanding that everything was in the past. We also had an awkward silence as the both realized they might have feelings for each other, with an even more awkward "I hope I'm not interrupting anything" from Chloe to kill the mood. Love works in mysterious ways in the CTU building.
