Some people think 24 is having the worst season of the show. Do you believe that? If so, when did they "jump the shark"? Let's discuss this show in the comments.
Day 6: 5:00PM - 6:00PM
Original Airdate: Monday March 5, 2007
As the administration deals with a shocking setback, former President Logan becomes increasingly involved; Pollock and Lennox are tied up in a messy situation; Jack pursues new unexpected leads.
Official Recap:
ReplyDeleteWayne survives the bomb (unlike Assad), but he's unconscious and in no shape to run the country. Chad Lowe doesn't want to kill Tom to cover the conspirators' tracks, as Carson does, so he lets himself believe that Tom will go along with everything now that Vice President Powers Boothe is in power to implement Tom's proposals. So they let Tom go, and then Tom turns the conspirators in anyway. Tom is treated as a suspect himself, and quickly faces yet another ethical dilemma when the Veep offers him the choice of either maintaining Assad's innocence or letting the Veep start implementing Tom's nutty, police-state proposals immediately. And let's face it, Tom doesn't have all that many do-the-right-things in him. Karen Hayes, who turns out to have been stranded at Andrews Air Force Base in Washington D.C. this whole time, decides to go back to work. Meanwhile, in L.A., Logan tries to blackmail the Russian Consul into helping him find Gredenko, but gets nowhere. Logan knows the Consul is lying, so Kiefer decides to sneak back in, leading to a rather awkward phone conversation between the Veep and Russian President Suvarov. Kiefer tortures the Consul into giving up the goods on Gredenko and his part in Fayed's plan, and then gets taken into Russian custody before he can tell anyone. Fortunately, Kiefer persuades the Russian Consulate Cop to relay the message to CTU. Unfortunately, the Russian Consulate Cop gets killed, before he can do so, by one of his own fellow guards. How will CTU find Gredenko now? And how will Kiefer survive another twenty months in a foreign prison for misbehaving in a Consulate again?
I'm not sure we've seen the last of al-Assad...
