Wow hell of a episode lots of emotion and Jack is showing his old self being straight forward and as intense as he can be .

The whole bringing into the daughter and head of security for Hassain turns out is a bad guy head of the RKT or RTG not sure of the name .

Jenny. Dana issue has not gone away Stephen root or the terrorist are going to do something bad with CTU .

Hastings has that Bill scene form Season Seven running into harms way , That preview has me thinking he gets really badly hurt or dies next week .

What is next for the Terrorist and part of the episode showing perhaps Chloe is going to the higher ranged perhaps run CTU .

I was sleeping on the couch at woke up at 9 20 p.m. I am sure i missed some stuff plus 2 other shows trying to get to record . In the am

Crazy night even without preview knew The kid boss RTK< they has self remote detonator programed in . He wasn't going to survive anyway etc and now the daughter in middle and show in previews she is being held against her will.

Lots of crazy Twist and Turns coming up !!!!

Loved the episode and I don't have a review

PammyBunny

Always enjoy when the season gets to this mid-way stage.

I knew Tarim was involved during ep11, predictable.

Why didn't Dana just say to parole officer that she knew Kevin a while ago, he is an ex who has been harassing her via phone calls but that she is engaged now and not interested. Instead of lying, saying she didn't know him at all just caused major suspicion.

Also predictable was the whole "your mother will die" thing popping up, just surprised at how long into the episode it took for that one to happen.

Wondering how Renee will fit back into the picture.

NikNak

I really loved this episode. Some of it predictable, but still exciting and thrilling.

eternalfate

The preview for the next episode looks so awesome

NikNak

It really does.

eternalfate

I hope that everyone doesn't tune in at 8:50 though since the preview said at 3:52 a twist that will change everything

Another for you're Eyes Only cartoon funny recap of the episode




24': The turncoat security escort, the fail-safe and Stephen Root
By Brandon Millman | March 8, 2010 11:21 PM ET
Things are heating up on "24," where Cole officially morphs into Jack and Stephen Root arrives (well not till next week at CTU)

Yep, Dana definitely dug her hole deeper, what with her incessant lying and general craptastic attitude. It may not come across as that, but when you think about it, there is absolutely no way this ends well for her. First, she tries to talk Cole into submission in the CTU elevator. When he rebuffs her every move, she takes her much-deserved verbal beatdown from Brian Hastings, who demotes her to under Chloe. Adding insult to injury, Dead Kevin's probation officer (Stephen Root!) calls her regarding multiple conversations she and Dead Kevin had when he was Alive Kevin. Naturally, she lies to Little Rock's Bill Prady (not that one), setting up quite the interesting meeting in the next hour or so. Even after Brian chastises her, she still can't get her act together.

Cole, on the other hand, has snapped back into common-sense mode, as he's sent off to retrieve Elaine Al-Zacar, the mother of young Marcos (who is still locked in the hyperbaric chamber.) She initially doesn't believe her son could be capable of such madness, but therein lies the strength of Cole Ortiz: the Jack Bauer-like ability to get the job done, no matter what. If this show continues in some form after Kiefer leaves, Dana must die (a la Teri) so that Cole can properly take the lead.

Poor Marcos. He feels betrayed by America for what they did to his father... among other things, he was jailed by the Wayne Palmer administration. He furiously works to reactivate the suicide vest, despite Jack's every attempt at talking him down from the ledge. Standard terrorist rhetoric coming from the kid bomber, which frustrates Jack to no end. Just before Marcos finishes his work, Elaine arrives to talk some sense into her kid. Samir catches wind of this (via a spying Ali from a nearby rooftop) and presses for the vest to be detonated.

Chloe notices Ali and the boys hacking into the hospital camera feed and promptly shuts it down, just as Marcos emerges from the chamber. It should be noted that Jack assures him that he won't personally take his mother to wherever the dirty bomb may detonate, just to watch her become contaminated and die if he cooperates with CTU. Of course, Ali freaks when he loses the feed and activates the vest's fail-safe. Jack isn't able to disarm the device in time, but before Marcos gets blown to smithereens, he reveals Tarin's involvement in the whole deal...

Tarin at this point is still quietly tucked away in a hotel room with Kayla. They're just a short time from requesting asylum, formally protecting them from the certain wrath that is Omar Hassan. Dalia is furiously calling Kayla, except she won't answer. For their daughter's sake, she and the president get the band back together and do everything they can to find her. Lucky for them, Jack calls with the information Marcos gave before becoming tomato paste. This time Kayla answers and is, at first, skeptical of what her mother is telling her. Somehow it sinks in that maybe her life is indeed in danger, and she finally reveals the location of her hotel. It seems making love to the hot, sexy Tarin has lost a bit of its luster, eh?

Tune in next week when we get quite the mighty twist at the :52 mark of the hour (nice twist on the promo for the next episode?)

NikNak

Thanks for the recap.

Logan

Un topping thread ready for Monday Nights new episode !!

eternalfate

The last episode was as good as the promo after episode 11 aired

Logan

Vicky has just seen it ,time for her to give us her review of the episode

Brucas4life

I did think some of the episode was predictable but it was still a good episode. I didn't think that Marcos was going to live, but I thought the others watching him were going to take him out of even kill his mum. At least they got something out of him though, more than they did with Fahrad.

I did have suspicious about Tarin, but I was hoping I was wrong, Hassan doesn't look such an idiot anymore. I'm thinking things are going to get a bit crazy now regarding this situation, considering she knows now he's bad news, he looks to have suspicions about the way she is now acting, and Jack and the others are on the way to try and get him.

I was really hoping the Dana/Kevin thing was over but based on tonight's episode it's far from over. I really hope if and when it's revealed what has happened, that Cole doesn't suffer too.

It was good to see Chloe back on top, and that Hastings is showing he values her now.

I missed Renee

Logan

vicky are you're 24 episode shown on Sunday night ? So that before we see Ep 13 you will already seen Ep 12 ... Be nice if Sky One could catch up to US.
