Jack Bauer’s cunning plan to escape with Chief Overacting DrugLord under cover of a large scale prison riot turned out to not be a very good one. Surprise surprise. They dressed up as prison guards, perhaps failing to notice that prison guards were being KICKED TO DEATH in every corridor and were promptly captured by hunky prisoners and forced into a lame Deer Hunter rip-off Russian Roulette game. You’d have thought the prisoners had better things to do than recreate classic 70s films (like, oh I don’t know, trying to escape??) and everyone knows that Jack isn’t going to kark it so early in the season. In the end Square Headed Chase bailed them out and let them escape in a chopper. Um, couldn’t have Chase let them escape in a chopper in the first place without all the guards being KICKED TO DEATH? Just a thought, Jack. Anyway, now CODL has turned the tables and captured Jack and is taking him down to Mexico. No doubt the sultry drug wife will help Jack escape (in fact, I bet that Jack and SDW had a steamy affair when Jack was undercover) but I hope he is tortured a bit first, just to teach him a lesson for being such an idiot.

CTU is still a hive of backstabbery and bitchiness. That useless gimp Chappelle (aka the smarmy vicar from Sopranos) has been brought in, presumably to tell Michelle off for moping around about Tony and hacking into webcams so she can watch doctors rummaging around in his neck. Gross. (he’s going to be fine btw. boring) and to tell Kimmeh off for moping about Jack (she knows he has gone off the rails. Also Chloe found Jack’s drug fixin’s in his office and told everyone. Doh). Kimmeh has managed to discover that Gael is the mole (yes, CTU is so rubbish that the stupidest member has discovered a major security leak) and is now at gun point. That is pretty good going for Kim to wait for 6 whole episodes before getting herself in mortal peril.

It turns out that Surfer Boy doesn’t carry the Killer Space Flu after all. Phew. I totally guessed that was going to happen btw. I suppose that means the bio threat is over and they can all go home and relax now.. or can they???? (not - seeing as there are still 18 hours to go…)

Meanwhile over at the President Palmer zzzzz… What? Eh ? I must have dropped off for a second there.

Tick... tick… tick…
