12:00 A.M.
Left alone on the highway, Doyle tries to flag down oncoming cars. One finally stops. He orders the driver out and steals the car.
12:01 A.M.
Doyle uses the man’s cell phone to call CTU. He says he screwed up and lost Jack. With the tracker on the component board, Morris gives him Jack’s location. Doyle promises to catch Jack before he disengages the tracking device.
12:02 A.M.
Buchanan announces to the staff that Jack has gone rogue. He asks Chloe if she can be trusted to work on the task, and she answers affirmatively.
12:03 A.M.
Jack pulls up underneath a set of power lines. He removes the tracker from the circuit board and drives off.
Morris loses signal on the tracking device. He sees on the satellite that Jack has been driving alongside the power lines. Doyle is notified.
12:05 A.M.
Milo asks Chloe if she thinks that Jack would give up Audrey’s life rather than turn over the circuit board to the Chinese. She has no answer.
12:06 A.M.
White House Press Secretary Ellen Price briefs the reporters about Wayne being taken to the hospital. She informs them that Vice President Daniels will be addressing the nation at 9:00 a.m. eastern time.
12:07 A.M.
Daniels questions Lennox over his plans to use the incriminating tapes. Lennox says it wasn’t his idea to force Daniels to resign. He only wanted to protect himself and prevent Daniels from challenging Wayne. Daniels feels relieved that he has Lennox’s support. Lennox gives his word that he won’t use the evidence over him.
12:08 A.M.
Daniels asks Lennox if he thinks Karen will be a detriment to their plans. Lennox notes that she is smart and provides balance. Daniels agrees to let her stay.
12:09 A.M.
Jack calls Cheng, telling him that CTU is now looking for him. Since he knows CTU’s satellites, Jack chooses the location for the trade. Cheng reluctantly agrees to meet Jack in a condemned hotel.
12:14 A.M.
Despite Karen’s appeal for CTU’s authority, Daniels charges Lennox to put all ancillary agencies in pursuit of Jack.
12:15 A.M.
With everyone cleared from the Oval Office, Daniels confesses to his aide Lisa that, with all that is going on, he can’t stop thinking about her. They kiss. She goes home to pick up a change of clothes so that she can spend the night with him.
12:16 A.M.
Doyle pulls up near the power lines and sees fresh tire tracks. He can tell Jack is headed east. Nadia checks which freeways are in that direction, but Doyle is sure that Jack would take the one without Caltrans cameras. He asks Nadia to see if there’s any transmission between one of the terrorists’ stolen cell phones and Cheng.
12:17 A.M.
Nadia has Chloe pull anything from that area’s cell towers in the last few minutes. Chloe sends it to Morris, who’s annoyed that she had the information take over his screen without a warning. He accuses her of being hostile, and they argue about who is to blame. Milo intercedes with their fight, and Chloe asks for his help instead of Morris’s.
12:18 A.M.
Morris becomes jealous and he and Chloe bicker. While trading barbs, she makes a crack about him arming the nuclear bomb for the terrorists. Chloe realizes her gaffe and quickly apologizes. Yet this hits Morris hard, and he walks away from her.
12:19 A.M.
Karen is warned that Peter Hock from the Department of Justice is waiting in her office. Lennox cautions her to tread lightly because Hock has clout on Capitol Hill.
12:20 A.M.
Karen goes to her office and greets Hock. He has been interrogating Reed Pollock, who claims that Buchanan held Fayed in custody but then let him go. Reed says in the video deposition that Karen covered this up with a “blue code” at Homeland Security to protect her husband.
12:21 A.M.
Karen explains to Hock that Fayed was apprehended in a border sweep two years ago but that there was not enough evidence to keep him. Besides, Fayed was not considered a high-level threat at the time. It is standard practice to “blue code” these released people so that they do not have their freedoms stripped. The only reason Karen resigned from the White House twelve hours ago instead of having this come out is because she didn’t want the information to be used against the President or her husband while the country was under attack.
12:22 A.M.
Hock insists that someone will have to be blamed for the terrorist attacks. He suggests that Buchanan take the fall because he is farther down the food chain from the President. Yet Karen knows it will either be her head or Buchanan’s on the chopping block.
12:28 A.M.
Jack arrives at the abandoned Calderone Hotel.
12:29 A.M.
After CTU finds Jack’s call to Cheng, Nadia tells Doyle. Jack was traveling on the road that he suspected. Nadia will keep decrypting the call to find out where he is meeting Cheng.
12:30 A.M.
Buchanan gets a call from Karen, who seems troubled. He says they are closing in on finding Jack and can’t talk. She asks him to call back when he’s free.
12:31 A.M.
Karen goes to see Lennox, rationalizing that Reed is using anything he can to bargain his way out of the death penalty for treason. Hock wants to distance the President, and needs either Karen or Buchanan to be blamed. Lennox says that Buchanan is already in the crosshairs and will ultimately be responsible because his signature is on the Fayed release. Karen considers resigning again, but Lennox advises her to not risk her own job since she can’t save Buchanan.
12:32 A.M.
Jack plants C-4 plastique in the walls of the empty hotel. Then he calls Buchanan’s personal voice mail and leaves a message, explaining that the circuit board will be incinerated in the explosion at the Calderone Hotel. Jack wants Buchanan to take care of Audrey if he doesn’t make it out alive.
12:38 A.M.
Morris asks Buchanan to be transferred out of the comm unit because he and Chloe are having problems. Buchanan agrees to work something out.
12:39 A.M.
Karen calls Buchanan again and tells him that the Justice Department is “out for blood” about Fayed’s original release even though it was all by-the-book. “I can’t let this touch me,” she explains about protecting the Administration. Her only option is to immediately fire Buchanan. Buchanan is furious because he didn’t do anything wrong. He hangs up on her. Karen tries calling back, but Buchanan doesn’t pick up.
12:42 A.M.
Doyle checks surface streets for Jack. Suddenly, he sees Jack’s truck parked near an abandoned building.
12:43 A.M.
Buchanan summons Nadia to the conference room and informs her that he was fired from CTU. She will be taking over.
12:44 A.M.
Buchanan won’t explain the circumstances of his departure to Nadia. “It’s just politics,” he sighs. Security comes in to escort Buchanan from the premises.
12:46 A.M.
Nadia announces to the staff that Buchanan has stepped down. Until Division can send a replacement, she will be acting director of CTU.
12:51 A.M.
Doyle takes weapons and ammo from Jack’s truck. He radios CTU that a limousine has just pulled up and that they should send support.
12:52 A.M.
Doyle sees Cheng emerge from the limo.
12:53 A.M.
Cheng walks in, demanding the component. Jack refuses until he can see Audrey. Cheng has his men bring her in. Doyle relays all of this to CTU.
12:54 A.M.
Audrey’s mouth is gagged. Jack removes it, tenderly touching her face for the first time in almost two years. He apologizes to her. Jack instructs Cheng to have Audrey walk out alone, away from the Chinese snipers. Once he knows she is safe, he will hand over the weapon’s circuit board.
12:55 A.M.
Outside the hotel, Doyle sees almost a dozen gunmen surround the building. He again questions Nadia about the field teams.
Jack tells Audrey to go to a gas station nearby. There will be a taxi picking her up to take her back to CTU.
12:56 A.M.
Audrey leaves the building alone as the Chinese gunmen train their weapons on her. Doyle becomes impatient. Nadia tells him the field teams should be there any minute, but he needs to do something fast because Jack is about to hand over the circuit board.
Jack gives Cheng the component. As he is about to detonate the C-4 plastique, shots ring outside. Doyle has taken out one of the men. Jack goes to return fire, but is hit in the chest over his flak jacket.
Suddenly, the CTU chopper and SWAT teams arrive and engage in a firestorm with the Chinese. Cheng bolts from the hotel to one of his armored cars and speeds off into the night accompanied by two exact vehicles. The helicopter follows the three fleeing cars until it is hit by a missile. It spins out of control.
12:57 A.M.
Cheng gets away. The other two Hummers go in separate directions as a diversion.
12:58 A.M.
CTU agents apprehend Jack, who tells Doyle that he was all set to detonate the circuit board. Cheng escaped with the component. Nadia radios Doyle that Cheng was spotted in one of three black Hummers that fled into the mountains. More choppers are on their way. Nadia orders Doyle to place Jack under arrest.
12:59 A.M.
Doyle reluctantly puts Jack in handcuffs. “I had this handled! Why the hell didn’t you listen to me?” Jack pleads.
Audrey is brought back to the hotel. She is mumbling the same phrase over and over: “Help me, Jack. Please don’t let them do this to me.” Jack realizes that she doesn’t even recognize him. The Chinese have done something to her, and Jack insists that Doyle help her.

[Chloe O'brien]

:00 A.M.
Doyle tries to get information from Audrey, but she is withdrawn. She recites the same phrase again.

1:03 A.M.
Doyle lets Nadia know that Audrey is suffering from some kind of post-traumatic reaction after the Chinese captured her. Nadia orders him to bring Audrey back to CTU. Doyle blames himself for foiling Jack’s plan and losing the Russian circuit board.
1:05 A.M.
As they head out, Jack pleads with Doyle to let him make an attempt to get through to Audrey since he was recently in the same position. Instead, Doyle follows orders and puts Jack in a waiting helicopter to head back to CTU.
1:06 A.M.
Karen urges Daniels to sign an executive order that will block borders to prevent Cheng from leaving the country with the component. They want to avoid Russia blaming the United States for losing its defense against the Chinese. Daniels confesses to Karen that he values her and appreciates the sacrifice she had to make in firing her husband.
1:07 A.M.
The Russian president calls for Daniels.
1:08 A.M.
Lisa Miller slips into the apartment of her lover, Mark Bishop. She tells him that Wayne is still in a coma and that Daniels is acting president. “Only thing he cares about is pushing his lunatic foreign agenda,” she interjects between kisses. With little time before she has to head back to the office, the two make love.
1:09 A.M.
Russian President Suvarov speaks to the White House team via teleconference. He already knows that the nuclear weapon circuit boards have fallen into the hands of the Chinese, which will expose Russian defense technology. Suvarov warns Daniels that he is prepared to initiate a military response if the Americans do not retrieve the component.
1:10 A.M.
Since the secret about the stolen circuit board was only exposed to a few select people, Lennox believes there to be a leak in either the White House or CTU. The Russian threat is suddenly very real, so Daniels authorizes CTU to utilize whatever is necessary to find Cheng.
1:11 A.M.
From his car, Cheng uploads the schematics of the component to one of his operatives, who sees that the circuit board is damaged. He cannot fix it without the security override. The will need to find someone with expertise to assist them.
1:17 A.M.

1:18 A.M.
Chloe corners Morris, who admits that he asked for a transfer because he is uncomfortable working with her. She crossed the line when she made a joke about his arming the nuclear bomb. Morris tells her that they are over for good. Chloe breaks down in sobs.
1:20 A.M.
Karen alerts Nadia about a potential leak in CTU. Nadia pointedly asks if Karen fired Buchanan. Karen does not answer her.
1:21 A.M.
Nadia greets Dr. Bradley, a specialist brought in to deal with Audrey. She orders Doyle to secure Jack and meet her in medical.
Dr. Bradley checks on Audrey, who is unresponsive. He finds numerous injection track marks on her arm.
1:22 A.M.
As they enter CTU, Jack begs Doyle to let him speak to Audrey. Yet Doyle places him in a holding cell.
1:23 A.M.
Doyle goes into medical. Dr. Bradley believes that Audrey’s catatonic state stems from the hundreds of pharmacological agents injected into her. The doctor wants to shock her with more drugs to wake her up. Doyle rejects this idea, advising them to instead utilize Jack’s relationship with Audrey and his exposure to the Chinese torture. Bradley thinks Jack could only harm Audrey. He also has the jurisdiction to overrule Doyle.
1:24 A.M.
Doyle urges Nadia to do what is right, because that’s what Buchanan would have done. Nadia is offended by the remark, and Doyle notes that an acting director can’t be afraid to step on toes. Nadia disregards his opinion.
1:30 A.M.
Daniels calls Lisa’s cell and implores her to return to the White House because there’s been a crisis. “I need you,” he says softly. Bishop asks Lisa about what’s going on, but she doesn’t know. After she leaves, Bishop calls Nikolai for further instructions.
1:31 A.M.
Lennox tells Daniels that he has identified the leak. There is a record of Lisa speaking to a lobbyist named Mark Bishop during the time they found out the circuit board went missing. Bishop had been flagged by CIA for having possible contact with Russian intelligence agents. Daniels is shocked, but Lennox doesn’t think Lisa was willingly giving out information.
1:32 A.M.
Lennox goes on to explain that he has found credit card receipts showing that Lisa and Bishop have stayed in the same hotel room several times over the last year. They were having a secret relationship. Daniels confesses that he is also sleeping with Lisa. He started the affair after his wife died. Daniels is shaken, but Lennox is confident that they can turn the situation to their advantage.
1:34 A.M.
Doyle comes to Jack’s holding cell and lets him know that the doctor tending to Audrey wants to drug her, which could be harmful. Doyle suggests that Jack do something about it and he uncuffs him. Jack gets the hint and gently makes Doyle unconscious. He takes Doyle’s keycard and escapes from the holding cell. Jack punches out the guard on duty and takes the man’s gun.
1:35 A.M.
Jack enters medical and threatens Dr. Bradley to stop whatever drug treatment he plans to use on Audrey. Jack takes Audrey from the bed. Bradley sounds the alarm.
1:36 A.M.
Nadia and Milo look up video feed from medical and see that Audrey is gone. “If you just let Jack talk to Audrey, none of this would have happened,” Milo comments. This stings Nadia.
1:41 A.M.
Morris confirms that Jack has not yet left the building. He scans the various video surveillance feeds. Nadia realizes that Chloe is gone.
1:42 A.M.
When Doyle wakes up, Nadia accuses him of allowing Jack to escape on purpose. “I did what I think is best for this operation and for Audrey Raines,” he says sharply. Morris finds Jack in the lower levels, and Nadia heads to that area.
1:43 A.M.
Jack uses Doyle’s keycard to access corridors, and he brings Audrey into a storage room where the alarm is muted and there are no cameras. Jack softly tells Audrey that he will protect her. He appeals to her memory, reminding her of her life facts.
1:44 A.M.
Nadia goes to the door of the storage room with guards but Jack has disabled the access pad.
1:45 A.M.
Jack asks Audrey if she can remember about the men who took her. He says he knows what it feels like to be tortured. Jack hugs her and tells her that he loves her.
1:46 A.M.
Nadia has her guards weld through the storage room door with an acetylene torch. As the flames make progress on the door from the inside, Jack begs Audrey for something because the agents will soon take her away.
1:47 A.M.
Jack trains his gun when Nadia and the agents enter. He demands a guarantee that Audrey will be safe. Suddenly, Audrey mumbles the word “Bloomfield.” Jack explains that she’s answering where she was held. Dr. Bradley tells Nadia that the word could mean nothing.
1:48 A.M.
Nadia radios Morris to search the name. She also tells Bradley to keep his hands off her witness, and she dismisses him. Nadia promises Jack that she won’t let the doctor touch Audrey. Jack lowers his gun and allows Doyle take her. He thanks Nadia.
1:52 A.M.
Lennox confirms that Suvarov was not bluffing. The Russian Army is moving troops into Central Asia.
1:53 A.M.
Lisa returns to the White House. Daniels tells her that someone named Mark Bishop told the Russians that the Chinese have their component. They have been monitoring Bishop’s calls, and he plays back a tape from ten minutes ago where Bishop says he will access “her” PDA.
1:54 A.M.
Lisa at first says that Bishop is merely an acquaintance, but Daniels accuses her of treason even if she didn’t know what was happening. “You didn’t just betray me, you betrayed your country,” he growls. Daniels orders her to go back to Bishop and make him believe that the U.S. has retrieved the component. He warns her that if she tries to expose their affair, then he will label her as an enemy combatant.
1:56 A.M.
James Heller is in CTU’s medical to see his daughter. He tells Audrey that he is taking her out of there, but she remains impassive.
1:57 A.M.
Heller stipulates to Nadia that he wants to see Jack before he transports Audrey out of CTU.
Doyle informs Nadia that Audrey’s word might have some meaning. There is a Bloomfield Copper Company that used to have a facility in Los Angeles. Forensics found copper particles on her clothes, so this may be where Cheng was hiding her. LAPD is locking down the building but Doyle is heading there now.
1:58 A.M.
Nadia admits to Doyle that he was right. She should have stood up to Dr. Bradley. “You did, when it counted,” he assures her.
1:59 A.M.
Heller enters Jack’s holding cell. “I don’t want you to go near my daughter ever again,” he says bluntly. Heller blames Jack for what happened to Audrey. Jack swears that he can help her and get through to her again, but Heller doesn’t want him to have any part in her life. “You’re cursed, Jack,” Heller says, “Everything you touch, one way or another, ends up dead.”

[alannah]

Thank God Heller is back his overreaction is usual for him but he will come good. Where are Logan, Martha and Aaron Pierce?

[Chloe O'brien]

Thank God Heller is back his overreaction is usual for him but he will come good. Where are Logan, Martha and Aaron Pierce?

Heller is a twit. He should never have spoken to Jack like that. There is only four more episodes left so if Pierce and co are going to make a re-appearence they'd better move their butts. And now Chloe gone AWOL, hopefully she will go and hook up with Buchanan again to help Jack save the day.

[Chloe O'brien]

2:00 A.M.
Heller leaves with Audrey, planning to file a restraining order against Jack. Even though he is under arrest, Jack begs Nadia to let him go with the field agents when they raid the Bloomfield facility because he knows how Cheng works. “I gave President Palmer my word that I would destroy that component before I let it fall into enemy hands,” he says. “Give me a chance to keep my word.” Nadia refuses him.
2:03 A.M.
Jack eyes the two guards manning his room. Nadia warns him that she will have him put in restraints if he tries to escape. Resigned to his fate, Jack offers to help run tactical from CTU. Nadia promises to take it up with the new division chief who will be replacing her.

2:08 A.M.
Cheng assembles an outside team that resembles a Chinese street gang. His operative questions whether the men can handle the job, but Cheng needs to maintain deniability by using outside forces. Cheng tells Zhou, the leader of the gang, that he wants to attack the “target” in fifteen minutes.

As Daniels and Lennox listen in, Lisa Miller calls Bishop and tells him that the crisis with the Russians was averted. She suggests coming over so that they can pick up where they left off.
2:17 A.M.
Lennox instructs her to give Bishop time to access her PDA. They have uploaded fake memos stating that a Chinese agent who tried to smuggle Russian weapons was taken out with a military strike. They want Bishop to relay the news to his Russian contact so that President Suvarov will call off his attack. Lisa isn’t sure she can be with Bishop pretending nothing’s wrong. Daniels notes that she spent the last year lying to him with no problem.
2:18 A.M.
Marilyn apologizes to Jack for telling him that Audrey was dead. When she inquires more, Jack becomes upset and doesn’t want to talk about it anymore. Marilyn asks if she can bring Josh to see him before they leave CTU. She promises to be there for Jack when it’s all over.
Jack asks Chloe about the mission to obtain the component. She guarantees that they’ll get it back.

2:23 A.M.
Zhou and his men make their way through the sewers. Cheng gives him directions to the entrance point beneath CTU.
2:28 A.M.
Morris asks Chloe a work-related question and she is mean to him. She apologizes because she’s having a hard time with their breakup even though he is trying to be professional.

Zhou and his team get to the sewer underneath CTU. He sets off charges, which allows Cheng’s operative to access the CTU security system.
2:40 A.M.
Nadia tells Milo that she knows he was unhappy when she was talking to Doyle. He tells her it’s alright if there’s something going on between them. Nadia admits that she doesn’t know what she feels and asks for time to sort it out.
2:41 A.M.
After back-tracking the satellite, Chloe spots Cheng’s men escaping in cars. Suddenly, Nadia can’t get through to Doyle on the radio and Milo cannot access any outside lines. They don’t know that Cheng has overridden their system.
2:42 A.M.

Everyone at CTU realizes their communication is shut down. Security cameras have lost visual surveillance. Nadia calls for a Code Red emergency lockdown.
2:43 A.M.
Zhou’s men reach the building. They take out the CTU security guards and descend upon the main floor. Nadia instructs her workers to run to their assigned safe rooms.

He has her speak to Doyle and tell him they’ve had problems with their communication system. Zhou threatens to kill her and everyone there if she gives Doyle any warning. Nadia doesn’t say anything out of the ordinary, but Doyle hears the tension in her voice. She hangs up.

[alannah]

The Chinese have been watching reruns of Angel and Buffy! I'm picturing a showdown between Jack and his dad whether it's next week or the season finale who knows.

[Chloe O'brien]

There are still 3 episodes left 1 next Monday and a 2 hour finale on the 21 May. This one will go right to the wire, we won't know what Jack will do until the final moment.

[Jojo]

Milo!!! Dead!!! OMFG!!!! Noooooo - that is so not on! I can't believe it! I was liking Milo too.

Looks like a Phillip and Jack showdown heading for the end - do what you've got to do Jack, he's not worthy to be called your father!
