24: A World Without Bill

Bill would have wanted us to live our lives and keep watching the show, and so I will do so in his honor. Also, in the hopes that Tony gets his sweet ass back into the action.

OF COURSE they have to relive everything in the Previouslies, including name-checking BB and showing his open-eyed corpse. Just in case we thought last week was all a horrible dream.

Jack's on the run because everyone thinks he slit Ryan's throat. Luckily, he finds a killer car with some dumbass owner who left his laptop on the front seat. Jack really shouldn't use that laptop - including opening pictures from hospital surveillance cameras, searching through the pictures for the guy who killed Ryan, and uploading the picture to Renee - WHILE DRIVING! But that's what makes him Jack.

The guy looks like Gordon Ramsay, so I'd suggest looking in Hell's Kitchen first. *rimshot* Somehow Renee is able to take that picture and get all kinds of backstory on the dude, including that the Senator has some knowledge of his company, Starkwood. She also gets the Senator's home address, and that's where Jack shows up. The Senator says he never found a link between Starkwood and General Juma. Naturally, it just takes a little digging for Jack to find a link, plus info that the company was trying to acquire a bio-weapon, presumably from Juma.

Larry has Renee arrested for assisting Jack. Renee needs to get better at covering her tracks.

Morris shows up at the FBI looking for Chloe, who is still in Holding. They make him wait forever. Or at least until they need him. Larry gets him to crack the encryption on the file Renee sent to Jack, in exchange for all charges against Chloe being dropped.

The Senator promises Jack that he'll help him, but the Senator is quite shockingly gunned down by Gordon Ramsay moments later. Dagger! The FBI moves in on the Senator's house. Oopsie, they're gonna think Jack killed that dude.

Jack's on the run from Gordon Ramsay and cuts himself. Ever resourceful, he uses his blood for a false trail to lure him to a construction trailer, which he then tips over with a backhoe or something. They have a massive fight and guess who wins. Before he dies, Gordon tells Jack the weapons are already here. And how nice that he has conveniently left the address of the dock on his cell phone! Jack calls Tony and tells him to meet him there. Then he hotwires a car with the thing he just pulled out of the dude's chest. Hahahahaha.

In boring news, the Chief of Staff suspects the First Daughter of leaking information about Jack to the press. She claims she didn't, and that she traced the leak to the Marshal's Office. But she is of course shady and a bit nutsy, so I don't buy it.

I hope Janeane Garofalo likes purple. Because that's a whole lot of purple to have to wear for months on end if she doesn't.

1. I'm glad everyone at the White House got showers and a change of clothes. They had Bill's brains on them.
2. It's nice that Olivia could start her new post RIGHT AWAY. She didn't need any orientation or anything. And she's available at 9pm after being held hostage for an hour or two.
3. The Pres is totally banging the Chief of Staff- I call it now.
4. Now Jack has to tell Tony that Bill is dead! And they'll do a shot of Jack remembering Bill lying there with his eyes open, dead on the floor. That way they can show it THREE weeks in a row and cut my heart open once again.
5. Jack in a Bulldozer- that's a new one!!
