Karen and Erik

I figured the only way I’d get a 24 post done on time is if I wrote it as I watched it. So here we go! (PS forget the past 2 eps, a post later this week is coming explaining what happened…)

Previously on 24… Erik does his Gredenko impression. “Dude, where’s my arm?” President Brother does his Hulk impersonation. “BROTHER NUKE MIDEAST, RAAAAHHHRRR BROTHER SMASH!!!!” E says, “Good to know that coma didn’t affect his acting.”

President Brother is not trying to hear that “peace” shit, Larry FLEINhart.

Karen warns Bill about President Brother’s nuke trip, and probably wonders if the incredibly dangerous “pulling him out of a coma” might have had something to do with it. She again tries to convince President Brother otherwise, but he’s too pumped on the adrenaline shots to give a damn. We wonders why President Brother is talking to an ambassador of the Mideast country, as opposed to the dictator/ruler/president/king. But the Ambassador is too busy telling President Brother about Fayid’s arrest. President Brother aborts the nuclear attack, only to reveal to his cabinet that HE TOTALLY FOOLED THEM, it was a dummy nuke. He got you good, you fucker!

Jack Bauer is interrogating Fayid while Ricky Schroeder stands back and gets a boner. I think Jack Bauer just punched Fayid in the nuts! But Fayid won’t give him anything. While Ricky is trying (and failing) to interrogate Fayid, Jack is on the phone with Bill talking about some general Habib… and a pharmaceutical package? I don’t know, Erik just had to tell me that part again during the commercial.

If President Brother is now totally cured, I’m going to be pissed - even Soul Patch Tony had to get through recovery of a bullet to the neck! President Brother’s ‘roid rage subsides so he can lay his heart out to Larry FLEINhart. Blah blah. But President Brother knows that Larry has some dirt on VP Powers Boothe, but Larry remains mum on the subject. SHAKY HAND, that’s what I am talking about!

Jack says “Within the hour”!! And Fayid and Ricky are flirting with each other so much, they don’t see the truck that hits them! It’s full of gunmen that surround their van. A gunbattle ensues.. Ricky is hit… JACK IS HIT!!! Fayid escapes …. and WE’RE CLEAR! Turns out it was all a hox, and a “cover team” nabbed Fayid to make him think he escaped. I missed the part about the pharmaceutical package. CTU watches as the “cover team” makes Fayid think that they’re buddies of Habib. Fayid won’t lead them to the nukes unless he talks to Habib…

Bill is all, “President Brother, how can I explain this any clearer… you need to get the ambassador to let us talk to Habib!” The pressure gives President Brother menstrual cramps or something, he’s doubled over in pain. He and Karen go to talk to the ambassador, who is understandably a bit peeved at them. President Brother is playing hardball, and gets the ambassador to make the call.

The hell? Milo is all pissy at Nadia because she doesn’t completely hate Ricky Schroeder. Milo thinks he slams a girl against a wall to violate her mouth, and it makes her his betrothed or something. For once, Miles is the reasonable one here. Except he’s a pussy.
Fayid tries to trick the control team by asking them why he has not heard of them. But they have an answer, and then lo and behold, Habib is on the phone! Nadia listens in to translate for CTU. Habib plays along, confirms the “control team” are legit, calls Fayid a failure and tells him to move forward with the bombs. The team and Fayid go towards the bombs… with Jack in hot pursuit!

President Brother is no Soul Patch Tony, he’s about to drop like a sack of bricks. And he does… “no one can know!” Erik says “they’re about to have crazy carnival sex. That’s why he wants the door locked.”

Oh snap, Nadia figured out the Habib used a duress code with Fayid, who is now leading the “cover team” to danger! Jack calls the leader of the team and tries to warn them, but the signal was lost because they went into a tunnel? The hell? There’s no tunnels in LA! There’s also no more cover team, because Fayid killed them and escaped! Jack follows him into some other area of the tunnel (the part with sanitation trucks?) and grabs a hold of the bottom of the garbage truck to hitch a ride! The damn motor is too loud for Jack to have a decent phone conversation with Bill.

Dr. Whatever says President Brother’s blood pressure has dropped to 80 over 40 - Tony’s exact blood pressure when he’s sky-diving in a volcano while wrestling a rabid grizzly bear. President Brother ignores his doctor’s orders and decides to go back to work. When Tony does it, it’s heroic. When President Brother does it, it’s bad acting.

Fayid arrives to his hideout and tell them they’re going DOWNTOWN. But not before Jack goes on a KILLING SPREE! Jack shoots everyone except for Fayid, who gets a Bauer hand bite before getting hung by a metal chain. Jesus Christ! And remember, Jack did all of this after two years of torture and presumably low blood sugar from not eating recently. It’s all over - Fayid is dead and the bombs are secure! And Ricky Schroeder is SO in love with him! But we’re not in for the happy ending yet… AUUUUDREY IS ALIVE! Those nutty Chinese have her. And Jack has a new mission… Operation Pootang Rescue.
