It is now pretty much a foregone conclusion that CTU is not going to be able to deactivate any of the remaining vulnerable nuclear facilities through the magic of Edgar Stiles. Some of you may wonder why the DOD simply orders up another override device to get back into control. As it turns out, the terrorists stole the only prototype. In order to save the lives of as many people as possible, somebody was going to have to find the device that was currently in existence, and put a stop to whoever was in control. Oh Jack, how we do love thee.

When Jack was ambushed, he realized that there must be somebody on the inside that was leaking information on their operations. Thefore, Jack must call the second person that he trusts, and the only person currently inside of CTU that fits that description is his Secretary Heller. Good thing Jack is having sex with his daughter, or else he might be ignored. He fills Secretary Heller in on the details of what happened, and tells him that they are going to lay low for awhile until the heat is off of them. Luckily, Tony Almeida is in the car, and he has no problem with Jack crashing at his house.

Knowing that there is only a remote chance that there won't be any problems at the nuclear plants, the president decides that he must evacuate all of the cities. There is no George Mason around this time to suicide our way out of a nuclear holocaust, so this seems like a good move.

What the president doesn't know is that things aren't going so well for the terrorists. They almost had the greatest webcast ever, and while any nuclear disaster is a victory for them, six is much less than the hundred or so plants that might have melted down. The terrorists have their own sort of distraction, namely free thinking women and children running around, totally disrespectful as to what their proper role in a plot to murder millions of people should be. Navi says that his wife and son will be dead before the day is over.

At CTU, Marianne is starting to get a little nervous. She could easily fool the idiots in CTU for a long time, but all of these DOD jokers are starting to hang around close, maybe a little too close. She makes a phone call from the bathroom to talk to her "handler" so to speak. Marianne basically says that she did her part relaying Jack's location, and it was time for her to get out. Her boss lets her know that she will be taken care of in due time. Notice that he didn't say "we will get you out", only "you will be taken care of". Before Marianne gets a clarification, Sarah walks in and makes it known she is being missed.
