10:00am - 10:12am

10:41am -10:48am

• Walsh begins to be tortured.

----------------------------------

Everybody beleives they are doing the right thing. Thats where we're at right now. Everybody who has a motive at this point is doing what they are doing because they think it is what they SHOULD do. Who ultimately is right? Thats for you to decide...

Jack Bauer -- believes that nothing should be covered up. A terrorism plot has been put into play by the Russian and he thinks they should be held accountable. This may also be a reason that he is convincing himself to believe in order to seek revenge for Renee's death.

President Taylor -- believes the peace treaty is the most important thing is the world right now, literally. At any and all costs, she wants that thing settled, even if it means losing one of her most loyal advisors. That bring us to....

Ethan Kanin -- believes what Taylor is doing is wrong and immoral and will not be a part of it. Kanin might be the only person in left who is not in it for himself even a little bit. Kanin is all about morals and he isnt about to change now. He thinks that the right thing to do in this situation is to resign

Charles Logan -- believes that the peace treaty needs to be signed so he can recieve credit for keeping the treaty together. At this point, it is obvious that Logan is in it solely for himself and would go to any length to repair his image.

Chloe O'Brien -- believes, as head of CTU, that she is obliged to do whatever it is that the President oreders her to do. Even if she doesnt agree at all, she feels it is not for her to decide who is right or wrong, but to maintain the security of Taylor and her objectives.

At this point, we have a very convoluted plot and when its all said and done, not everybody will be happy. It will definitely be interesting to see how this plays out as it will be the final plot of 24. What happens over the course of the next 5 episodes may very well define the television series of 24 as a whole. This is it. This is all we got. It's needless to say that we are in store for something special.

RATING

4.5 out of 5. It wasn't until after this episode ending, that I realized how good it actually was. Everything is set up to fall right into place for a spectacuar ending. One of the greatest set up episode thats we may have seen. Lets go 24! Lets end this on a good note!

Jack Kills: None this episode. 1 Knockout though.

The Following Takes Place Between 9:00am and 10:00am

The clocks are synched out here on the east coast as 24 takes on the 9:00 hour! Will a third straight silent tick be in store...?

9:ooam - 9:13am

• Chloe tells Jack where the Russian guy is right now.
• Logan talks with Novakovich. Logan apparently has proof that Novakovich is in, and threatens to show Taylor
• Jack shows up at Bazaev's court hearing. He says that Dana Walsh knows who killed Renee

9:18am -9:27am

• Russia announces they will sign the treaty
• Jack is in the process of interrogating Renee. He slaps her around a little bit and now it appears as though he is gonna knock out the camera and really get down to business

9:31am - 9:39am

• Charles Logan persuades Taylor that she needs to keep the peace treaty alive in order to keep the nation safe. He stresses that Jack Bauer needs to be stopped before he makes it known that the Russians are behind everything. Taylor says she is going to CTU to meet with Bauer.

9:43am - 9:50am

• Madame President meets with Jack and tells him the he is being shut down. For the greater good, she says, it is best that the truth is never let out. The convo gets heated, but Pres has more power. Jack is being transfered to McGwuire Air Force Base

9:54am - 10:00am

• Jack takesover the helicopter and takes off with it across manhattan. He's goin rogue, and this time, he has no Chloe on his side as she notifies FAA

-----------------------------

Jack means business now. He knows what he wants and that is justice. And we all know that Jack will do whatever it takes to get what he wants, especially if he thinks he is doing the right thing. Jack has jsut stolen a CTU helicopter and who knows what he plans to do with it! And what is he going to do without Chloe on his side? This is gonna be good.

Logan did work and is taking advantage of his oppritunity. He has just weaseled his way into control of the actions of the United States. Pres Taylor is now acting off of Logan's words and actions. There are many characters that give us more reasons to dislike them than Logan, but theres just something about this guy that keeps me from hating him.

Dana Walsh gets off easy again...for now. She was finally getting the beating she deserved when Pres Taylor comes flying in with her "hide the truth" idea. Wasn't Pres Taylor the one who had her own daughter sent to prison to avoid covering up the truth? hmmm......

RATING: 4.5 Stars out of 5! So many memorable scenes in this one tonight. So many different plots are devolping right now, this is great. It has gotten to the point where it is literally unpredictable as to how this will play out. Suspense at its finest. I can't believe this show has to come to an end...

No Kills this Episode for Jack Bauer.

The Following Takes Place Between 8:00am and 9:00am

After a stellar 2hr session last week (sorry,no post) I'm sure we are locked in for some more drama tonight. Last week Jack uped his kill total from 16 to 20 with 4 kills, but he still arrived too late. Hassan was already dead. But here we go! One new hour, starting right noww!!!

8:00am - 8:08am

• Take one of Jack's kills away, looks like Samir is still alive...until EMT man injectss him that is.
• Jack says he's going home
• Pres Taylor plans to end the peace, but then she receives info of another option.
• Jack and Renee are being followed by the EMT guy who took out Samir because he recognized Renee.

8:13am - 8:21am

• Mrs. Hassan accepts the role of active leader of the IRK.
• Chloe O'Brien -- Head of CTU
• Hastings has been fired of head of CTU.
• Jack and Chloe go back to Jack's apartment where they are spotted by the rogue EMT guy from an adjacent apartment.
• EMT kills some old head to uses his apartment.

8:27am - 8:35am

• The Russians claim they will pull out of the peace treaty. Ethan suggests Logan can help.
• Samir has gone into cardiac arrest. Its Chloe time!
• She orders an toxology on now dead Samir to see if he was injected with something.

8:39am -8:47am

• Logan and Taylor meet. He claims of having some secret way of gettin the Russains to sign the treaty.
• Taylor agrees relunctantly.
• Charles Logan is back in 24.

8:51am - 9:00am HOME STRETCH

• Chloe calls Renee about Samir's death. Renee mentions recognizing an EMT guy, then she is sniped by that EMT guy. Jack rushes Renee to the hospital where she dies.
• Silent Tick. Renee is dead. Fade to black.

---------------------------------------------

The return of a 24 legend and the passing of a 24 legend. 6 more hours left and this thing could get hairy.

Charles Logan is back in play. A character who has absolutely no reason to be trusted, has just be trusted by the President to conduct a secret meeting with the Russians that only he can know about. Sounds kinda fishy, but Pres Taylor has no other play.

Renee Walker is now deceased. Silent Tick confirms, she is dead. I dont know whether to feel sympathy for Renee or for Jack. Jack, once again, thought he was done and was finally moving on with a relationship, then she is shot dead. Now, Jack is of course back in the game and it looks as though this time, he wants justice.

The IRK has a new president. It looks like President Taylor isnt the only "Madame President" around. Mrs. Hassan will reluctantly take over. In hopes to salvage the dead Hasssan presidency, his wife will try and keep the treaty intact.

It seems as though General Bracken has gotten in over his head. His original mission "for the greater good" was complete, but now he is still trying to cover his tracks. That has resulted in the death of Renee and now the feds will be looking for the people responsible.

RATING: 4.5 out of 5. Whenever such a prominent character such as Renee dies, you know the episode was good. For anybody who has been watching 24 over the years, this episode was probably a tad bit more enjoyable than those who have tuned in only over the last couple seasons. With the return of Logan and the mention of the Suberovs, Season 5 played a role in this episode which I personally view as the best season of the series. I also enjoy when they include instances from past seasons. So great episode, with only 6 hours left, I cant imagine anythng but stellar episodes.

Jack Bauer Kill Count: 19 Kills -- It appears as though Jack did not kill Samir, only knocked him out so I kill gets substracted from his previous calculation of 20.
