5:02 P.M.-5:05 P.M.: Jack announces to his team that Alexis had planned to go straight from his date to a business meeting, where he'd be making a payoff.
Meaning somewhere in the hotel room is money, which Jack needs them to find. Palmer demands that Elizabeth be let off the hook, and stomps his feet when
Jack responds that he doesn't recall asking her to give Alexis an emergency appendectomy with a letter opener. After his temper subsides, Palmer realizes
Jack is just trying to protect him, and agrees to back off and let him do his job. Nina and a few other agents quickly find the money -- in bearer bonds.
She hands them to Jack, then wonders how he plans to magically transform himself into Alexis. After all, it's not like he's Jonathan. Since he doesn't
really know either, she tells him she's going with him to coordinate backup. Mason asks Tony if he's found any leads on Teri and Kimberly. He hasn't. He
has, though, managed to conclude that Paulson and Breeher were probably killed trying to protect them. It certainly is a shame Robert died before he and
Tony could set up Ellis & Almeida, America's foremost detective agency. Tony isn't thrilled when Mason tells him not to breathe a word of this to Jack
should he call and ask. Kimberly and Rick are busy tearing apart Dan's books, much to the consternation of Melanie, who questions what they're looking
for (yet doesn't question when Dan learned how to read). They both tell her that they hope Dan has Gaines' number, which could help Kimberly track down
her mother. When Melanie laughs about what they're going to do if and when they find Gaines' number, Kimberly replies that she'll take it to the police.
Which is _so_ not cool with Melanie. Not cool with Rick either, since Kimberly previously told him she didn't trust the police. Melanie shakes her head,
offers some parting words of wisdom about how Dan will be on the warpath when he finds out they went through his stuff, and then departs. Kimberly asks
Rick why he didn't tell her about Dan. He says she'd freak. As would Dan's brother, Frank, who is on his way over. He begs Kimberly to keep her mouth shut
when Frank gets here, clearly unaware of the girl's limitations.

5:05 P.M.-5:12 P.M.: Dr. Parslow refreshes what passes for Teri's memory about her husband, Jack, and her daughter, Kimberly. He tells her that she and
Jack separated about six months ago. That's when the two of them met. When Teri asks him who he is, Parslow replies that he's a "friend" -- which has a
much nicer ring to it than "rebound guy." He claims he wanted to be more, but the whole time Jack and Nina were boinking, Teri couldn't bear to be without
her husband. Parslow doesn't know why she decided to go back -- Kimberly perhaps -- but he does know that she asked him never to call her at home. Teri
says she can't remember any of this. (Perhaps when Parslow gets done filling her in about her family, he can take a minute to explain what amnesia is.)
Since he told her he was a doctor, she gets confused when he says he needs to take her to a hospital to get looked at. He's actually a surgeon, though,
not a neurologist, which he feels she needs. She snaps at him that she doesn't want to go to a hospital. Why she doesn't know, but it can be concluded
that her subconscious memory is functioning better than her conscious one. Ignoring what he said a few seconds ago, he then asks if he can examine her
here then. That she agrees to. Nothing like being examined by a person who not ten seconds ago told you flat out they weren't qualified to examine you.
Palmer plays back Keith's mix tape for the benefit of Sherry and Mike, the latter of whom asks him what he thinks he's got. After Palmer states the obvious,
Mike tells him that the tape isn't evidence. Palmer couldn't care less about Mike's bad legal advice, and reveals his intention to put the tape in the
hands of the media. Sherry butts in to say that today can either be about winning the election or about starting a political scandal, but it can't be about
both. Much like the Palmers' marriage can either be about rising to the top of the ladder or about sharing a intimate relationship, but not about both.
Sherry orders him to destroy the tape, else she bring his entire Democratic party down with him. Palmer has no intention of destroying the tape, figuring
that it will be much worse for the Democrats if someone else brings it to light first. And even if no one does and they do destroy the tape -- hell, they're
Democrats. Sherry turns to Mike, who advises that the tape would not only be very easy to shelve without anyone bringing it to light, but would be the
sweetest piece of blackmail a United States president could ever hope to have against the most powerful people in the country. While Jack is on his way
out the door with Nina, he calls Tony, because he needs to speak to Mason. Jack asks if he's spoken to Teri and Kimberly, but Tony says he hasn't. Jack
wants the phone number of the safe house so he can call there himself. Tony goes to get Mason to handle this dilemma. Believing what Mason's doing is wrong,
Tony begs him to tell Jack the truth. Mason refuses. When Jack's job is done; that's when he'll tell him. After he gets on the line, Jack explains what
he and Nina are about to do, which is no easier for Mason to take than it was for Nina. Jack requests additional backup to be there within 15 minutes.
He manages to convince Mason that waiting for Alexis to pull through -- if he pulls through -- is futile, and this is their best chance of bringing the
bad guys down. Before he hangs up, Jack asks Mason to put Tony back on the phone so he can give him the safe house number. Tony's earnest chat didn't sink
in; Mason tells Jack that Paulson recently told him Teri and Kimberly were sleeping. So Jack instead asks that he have them call him back when they wake
up. Off the phone, Jack tells Nina that Mason is in their camp.

5:16 P.M.-5:19 P.M.: While the two of them are on the road, Jack asks Nina what Teri said in the safe house. Nina tells him she didn't say much -- at least
not after Teri figured it out that the two of them were bunkbuddies. So she bailed on the debriefing and handed it over to Paulson. Jack doesn't hold Nina
to blame, because he feels he should have told Teri. Believing Teri really wants to patch things up with him, Nina recommends he call her right now. Since
he already explored that venue, he asks her to call Paulson instead. But her call won't go through. Jack assumes it's the area and asks her to call back
when they get to the California Plaza, where the meeting is to take place. Tony goes to Mason's office to request some additional men to help find Teri
and Kimberly. Mason changes the subject, and offends Tony by asking him if he thinks Jack and Nina still have feelings for each other. Tony's in the middle
of walking away when Mason calls him back to remind him that he's busting his hump without any resources because Nina decided to take a joyride with her
former fling. Their discussion erupts into a shouting match when Tony tells Mason to stay out of his personal business. Mason replies that he's finding
too much personal business, and Nina -- who's with Jack, who's with Tony, who covers for whomever breaks protocol -- is the cause of all of it. Though
he surely agrees on some level, Tony doesn't admit it.

5:19 P.M.-5:22 P.M.: Keith goes to see his father, who had him called in. Before he gives the tape to the District Attorney, Palmer wants him to understand
that the people he's up against will turn the tables around to Lyle Gibson. And from then on, in the media, on television, and wherever he goes, Keith
will be known as a murderer. So Palmer asks that he think about it before making his decision. But Keith has already thought about it. He tells his father
that when said he wasn't there for him, it wasn't true. Palmer responds that it is somewhat true. But he's here for him now. While he's being chauffeured,
Andre Drazen calls Myovic to see if he's heard from Alexis, whom he says is meeting Morgan in 20 minutes. Myovic is in a bit of a snit over not being able
to find the women, and doesn't have time to help Andre find his brother. When asked where he plans to look for them, Myovic says he's going to the Bauer's
house.

5:22 P.M.-5:25 P.M.: Melanie has enough of Kimberly's whining, and demands that Rick get her out of the house before Frank arrives, because they have things
to do. What these things are Rick has no idea and Melanie won't say. Kimberly doesn't want to hang around where she isn't welcome, so she's about to leave
when Rick stops her. He then tells Melanie that he and Kimberly just need to talk for a minute. The mere presence of Kimberly has obviously rubbed off
-- Melanie slams him right on his gunshot wound, then storms out of the room. Kimberly tells Rick she plans to go to a "safe park" that her parents christened
in the event of an earthquake. Maybe her mother's waiting for her there. Rick thinks she should go home instead, but Kimberly has sprouted a brain sometime
in the past hour and correctly figures the terrorists know where she lives. They may get lost and turn around should she happen to be walking aimlessly
along the main road that leads to her house. But they know where she lives all the same. Kimberly needs to hitch a ride to the park, but since the car
she saw out front is Melanie's, and Melanie'd probably do a lot more than hit and storm out of rooms if she were to find out it was taken, Rick gives her
some money to catch another cab. When he says he can't come because he has to continue laying low, she reiterates how she thinks he should turn himself
in. He adds that he's on probation, and doesn't have any strikes left. She tells him she wishes they had met at some other time and place. He feels likewise.
They decide to pick the most inappropriate of times and places to share an intimate liplock. Luckily, Frank barges in, thereby breaking it up. The hoodlum
asks Rick how things went last night. Noticing his black eye, Frank doesn't exactly buy Rick's reply that it went fine. He then heads off to look for Dan.
Sensing it's about to get ugly, Rick tells Kimberly to get going, but Frank impedes her progress. He wants his cut of his money, and refuses to let the
strange blonde girl go until Dan comes back with it. Rick and Kimberly are frightened, though probably not as frightened as he who realizes Melanie is
the voice of reason in that house.

5:30 P.M.-5:32 P.M.: On the plaza escalator, Nina explains the gameplan to Jack in regards to where their teams are stationed. Mason calls Jack with a bit
of bad news: Teddy Hanlin is in charge of his backup. As Teddy Hanlin is someone Jack doesn't want to work with, he flies off the handle. Mason apologizes,
claiming that Division assigned him, and asks that he avoid a confrontation. Once they get off the phone, Jack tells Nina who they're working with. She
remembers Teddy Hanlin as the former partner of one Seth Campbell, and is just as fazed about Teddy's assignment as Jack is. Jack attempts to call the
safe house again, but still fails to get through. Teddy Hanlin in the flesh is waiting at the top of the escalator for them, giving Jack no chance to redial
the number. After trying his best to antagonize Jack with a sarcastic greeting, Teddy quips what good connections he must have to screw up as many times
as he did today and not get spanked afterwards. Jack ignores the needling, as he goes over the gameplan that Nina just went over with him. Looking quite
the loose cannon, Teddy says he hopes he doesn't have bad aim and "accidentally" shoot one of his own. Jack gives Teddy a stern warning, but stops short
of spanking him. Tony enters Mason's office, in a better mood than before, to say that Rampart just called. They relayed that a woman matching Teri's description
was spotted walking around Griffith Park, near the safe house. Tony already sent an Agent Williams over to check on that.

5:32 P.M.-5:36 P.M.: Dr. Parslow gives Teri a once-over and arrives at the keen diagnosis that somebody may have roughed her up. Teri wonders if she hit
her head and that's why she has amnesia. When Parslow asks if she has any other pain, she indicates her abdomen. He tells her he believes her amnesia is
disassociative, which can happen when a person suffers severe emotional trauma and/or severely awful writing. He tries to get her to change her mind about
the hospital. She acts like she's Raymond Babbitt and he just asked her to fly Delta. Sherry is on the phone in jubilant spirits; Palmer won New York.
After giving her other party the brush-off and finding out from Patty that David is attending to business elsewhere for a few minutes, Sherry sneaks into
a room with a wall safe. She enters the combination, retrieves an envelope addressed to the District Attorney, and quickly hides it behind her back when
she's interrupted by Patty. Patty came in to tell her that the person she just cut off has called back. Sherry rudely gives her the brush-off too. Once
Patty has left, Sherry opens the envelope, pulls out Keith's tape, and closes the safe without it.

5:41 P.M.-5:45 P.M.: Sherry is still sitting in the safe room when Palmer returns. He goes straight to the safe, and she tells him she knows that he and
Keith had a talk. He thinks she should talk to Keith as well, since he needs both their support. Considering Keith an adult -- and why not, he'll probably
be tried as one -- she doesn't plan on it. Palmer opens the safe, and sees his envelope is missing. He turns to Sherry, giving her the look of death. She
doesn't have any problems getting it off her chest that she destroyed the tape. After she serves up a self-righteous lecture, Palmer tells her that it
breaks his heart that he was right about her. He then pulls the real tape out of his pocket. Sherry wipes the egg off her face long enough to say she'll
do whatever it takes to protect her family. Or just her son anyway -- she doesn't really seem to care much about what happens to her husband. She asks
him if that makes her a bad person. Rather than answer, he walks away from her like she's got the plague, and orders Mike to schedule a press conference
now. One would think Mike would by now know what to expect from the flighty senator, but his shock and surprise in light of the fact that Palmer has one
coming up in a few hours would attest otherwise.

5:45 P.M.-5:48 P.M.: Jack puts his ear mike in, packs his prop briefcase, and confirms that Nina can hear him. He asks her and Teddy where they're positioned.
Teddy tells Jack to change his position, because he's blocking his view. When Jack takes a few steps back as requested, Teddy tells him he's got a perfect
shot now. Little does Jack know that Teddy just asked him to step into his view. Hardly the proponent of bygones being bygones, Teddy passes an astute
observation on Jack, the great humanitarian, pulling out a chair for an old woman. Nina attempts to stifle him while they're working, but Teddy would much
rather let Jack know about Seth Campbell's wife, Judy, who hung herself. She didn't even leave a note, he continues, because she probably figured it was
obvious, what, with her husband in prison, his pension gone, and their four kids to feed. Much better to kill herself and let them starve to death on their
own. And all because Jack ratted him out for stealing dirty money. Jack follows Nina's lead in trying to get Teddy to stop talking without the aid of Quaker
granola bars, but they'd likely have an easier time shutting Kimberly up. Jack offers to sit down with him and tell him his side of the story sometime
when it's convenient. But Teddy's calling the shots here. Literally -- he is the one with the rifle. Nina rings Mason and asks him to stop Teddy's chatter.
Mason has Tony put him through to Teddy's line. He then blasts the chronic complainer for picking the wrong time to throw down the gauntlet. Mason asks
Jack if he's okay, which he claims to be. The question is: is Teddy okay?

5:53 P.M.-5:54 P.M.: Myovic is sneaking around outside the Bauer's house. He's about to break in when he spots their alarm system. Before he thinks up a
plan to get around it (if he can, since finding women wandering aimlessly down main roads is apparently too daunting a task for him), Agent Williams shows
up. Myovic ducks behind a tree out of Williams' line of sight and, with trusty binoculars in hand, peeps at the agent's U.S. government license plate.
Williams checks something outside the house, then cluelessly walks straight towards the tree that the armed Myovic has hid behind. They'll soon have some
company, considering that Dr. Parslow is driving Teri home.

5:54 P.M.-6:00 P.M.: Frank tells either a friend or an accomplice over the phone that Dan will come home soon, because he knows they need the money by 7:00.
It's unclear why Kimberly and Rick are plopped down on the couch like sitting ducks while Frank is on the phone, though it is assumed that Kimberly and
Rick must secretely enjoy being sitting ducks. Kimberly quietly asks Rick what happens when Dumb and Dumber figure out that Dan no longer possesses the
ability to come home. Rick says he's not about to tell them. Kimberly feels he should, as they're liable to deduce this one all on their own. Maybe not
today. Maybe not tomorrow. But soon. And until someone brings home drugs. Not understanding why Rick is such a bum, Kimberly stands up and uses the same
tone on him that Teri used on her when she was whining about the pregnancy. Since he's confused as to what she's on about, Kimberly explains to him that
he has so much going for him; he's smart, he's good-looking, he's funny. He may be a dopehead, but, hey, so might she. Frankly, she'd have to be one --
how else could she find Rick smart and funny? She wants to bring him over to the right side of the tracks, far away from the criminals he hangs out with...
because he isn't one, of course. If he did, he could turn his life around like her foster-home friend Todd. He got a scholarship to Stanford, you know.
Rick admits she's right, but smack in the middle of a drug deal about to go bad isn't exactly the time to deal with it. Frenching your new girlfriend in
the vicinity of your unstable old girlfriend -- yeah, that's fine. But not this. She presses him to tell Frank the truth. Now. Her advice prompts him to
ask Frank, now unoccupied, what deal he's been referring to. Frank replies that he's taking the 20 grand Dan "made" last night, using it to buy some 'E,'
then reselling what they get for 50 grand to some idiots (relatively speaking) from Redondo. Even with a not-so-thinly-veiled comment from the Bauer gallery
about Dan possibly not showing up, Frank can't connect the dots. They'd have to be made out of LSD for that to happen. A trio of annoying kids running
around the plaza with squirt rifles tries Jack's patience, who orders someone on the team to get them the hell out of there. Before Teddy can show the
precious angels that water is no match for lead, Nina has another agent get rid of the brats. And just in time for the grand arrival of Morgan, the man
in the red baseball cap. Jack calls out to his future broker with a "Hey," then motions for the guy to sit down at a table with him and his briefcase.
After asking if he's talking to Alexis (always ask first when you're a terrorist), a perturbed Morgan wonders why Jack -- who spent an entire summer in
Kosovo, yet can't even be bothered to attempt a fake a Serbian accent -- wants to do this outside the restaurant, instead of inside like he was told. Jack
tells him there's a cop inside. So Morgan sits down and asks for the money. But first, Jack would like him to go over what he's supposed to do for him.
Instead of blowing Jack's head off right then and there, Morgan figures that amnesia must be in the air or something, and reveals how he'll be shutting
off the power on grid 26, double G at 7:20, then turning the lights back on at 7:25. Speaking of lights, the one above Morgan's attic somehow manages to
turn on -- he notices that the supposed Serbian sounds strangely just like an ugly American. Granted, Jack had to say 36 words before he noticed, but...
The realization that he's being set up causes the sharp little red-capped terrorist to make a mad dash out of the plaza. Jack chases Morgan through a crowd
of people, as Teddy announces that he's got him in his line of fire. (It's assumed the "him" means Morgan, but with Teddy, one never can be sure.) Jack
tells Teddy to put his rifle away, because Morgan isn't a threat, he's a twit. But Teddy's itchy trigger is waiting to go off, no matter what Jack says,
and it's connected to his itchy mouth trigger, which feels the need to announce over the mikes that he'll just be winging the guy to slow him down. Jack
orders Teddy not to shoot, but Teddy treats the order like Jack treats most of his. He shoots. He scores. Morgan gets winged. Morgan crashes right through
a glass bannister. Morgan lands on the concrete pavement several feet below. Game over. Nina yells at the screaming crowd to stay back, at the same time
Jack curses out Teddy. Meanwhile, Palmer hands the tape over to someone, telling them to take care of it, as Nina announces to all the other agents involved
that the suspect is down. Dr. Parslow and Teri arrive at her house. In the bushes, Myovic lies in wait for them. On the ground next to him lies Williams'
body. Tick, tick, tick...
