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.
