Freddie Prinze, Jr. and Hassan are A-OK (luckily for Director Bubba), and Bad Russian Assassin's not happy. Freddie spots the Russian and gives chase on foot, with Jack and his Cute Asian Cop buddy soon following in their cop car. (Cute Asian Cop might be the new Lieutenant Baker. Yes, I'm still hung up on Lt. Baker from about 4 seasons ago.) Jack gets to the Russian just as he's about to shoot Freddie. R.I.P. Bad Russian Assassin.
Hassan's Brother isn't happy he's survived either, and worried he'll be found out - so he does the logical thing of stabbing a CTU agent in the neck and running away from the scene. Well, now you'll definitely be found out, ass.
We get an alarm in CTU - but it's not the usual lockdown alarm. DAMMIT! It's the hazardous materials alarm, triggered by the Russian guy's dead body - he's come in contact with weapons-grade uranium.
Jack gets back to CTU and - with a straight face - says he's going to try to catch the last flight out to Los Angeles. Yeah, good luck with that. CTU determines the Russian mob is behind all of this and it just so happens that Miss Renee Walker, our cute little freckled, wannabe Female Jack Bauer redhead from last season, has previous undercover work with the Russian mob. Renee no longer works for the FBI (she was fired for some sort of breakdown and it appears she attempted suicide - great, now she's unstable too!), but Bubba orders her to be brought in.
Lucky for everyone, Renee's cover is still intact with the Russians, so Bubba asks her to go back undercover. Wow, Bubba sure does ask for a lot from people without producing much himself. Renee says she'll go in, because I guess she cares about saving the world from nuclear-trigger-happy Russians.
Jack decides to tag along with Renee when she goes undercover. So much for Los Angeles. OH SNAP - LEOBEN IS THE LEAD RUSSIAN MOBSTER!!! Agent Starbuck better watch out! Callum Keith Rennie is the greatest bad guy ever! AND THEN DAVID ANDERS IS ANOTHER BAD GUY! He's like the second-greatest bad guy ever! This show truly has the greatest casting and I bow down to it.
It appears that when Renee was undercover, she banged her way through the Russian mob. Well yeah, that might screw you up. Nutjob whore. She is incredibly unstable and badass though (much like Jack) - she cuts off a Russian guy's hand to free him from a tracking bracelet. Ahahaha. She goes to Jack, "Find something to cauterize that wound." Yeah, that's something Jack would say.
Rape Van Kevin calls Starbuck from her apartment and is all, "I'm crazy, get over here." She goes. Will these people never learn? Unsavory people from your past won't just go away - have them arrested and tortured or something.
Question of the Night: Is Bubba a hunchback? Or does he just have bloody awful posture?
Also, it's pretty cool that New York has as little traffic as Los Angeles always did.

JP actually pointed out the hunchback-ness of Bubba. I just thought CTU's ceilings were low!
1. Renee has stay-at-home mom hair. She can put on her heavy eye makeup but not straighten her hair?!
2. No one can be more bad ass than Jack, right? Right?!
3. Renee is a cutter! I guess she won't be so whiny this season- bonus!!
OK - specific to New York but why are they crossing the GW bridge to get to Long Island City !?!? Would it be so bad to hire a (me) NY Consultant...
Apparently none of the rooms are more space than a standard studio apartment, even the morgue... And much like the interrogation room it looks like the apple store. They have definately steered away from realism...
This may be blasphemy, but Starbuck looks a little horsey on this - maybe its the clothing. But if shes a battered wife the whole season itll be annoying - especially if yes, she can call to get him arrested or totured.
I cant wait to watch next week, if only to see what good a severed thumb will do - did she even get the bracelet off ?
