'24': Jonas No Mo-nas. Was Agent Aaron Involved? Hope Not.
Previously on "24," Tony went over to the dark side, Jonas Hodges got immunity, Olivia Taylor kept being a snake and possibly incited Aaron the Awesome Agent to kill someone, and Jack's sickness got worse. Is Kim the Show Killer going to come back and save him?
Online Chatroom of Evil
The OCE works on Jibraan, their muslim patsy, by threatening his little brother Amid's life. Except a neighbor heard the invasion and called the DCPD, so Tony sends Jibraan to talk to them. I hope he can blink in morse code. Unfortunately, the police leave quietly, not noticing Jibraan's nervous demeanor and sweaty visage. Tony gets Jibraan ready to move out, forcing Jibraan to convince Amid of his terrorist activities so Amid can tell the police that Jibraan is a terrorist.
Jack and His Angels
Sabrina Janice continues to cry "Bill of Rights," which she should know does not effect Jack Bauer. Rights? We don't need no stinkin' rights. Hasn't she watched this show before? Kelly Chloe is informed of Jack's exposure to the bio weapon and takes her moment, then pulls herself together like the Chloe we all know and love.
Chloe finds Jibraan in one of their searches on the CTU servers and Jack and Jill Renee head out to speak to his personal reference at a mosque in Georgetown. Sorry, last Jack's Angels reference. But wouldn't you watch a show called Jack's Angels where the Angels are Janice, Chloe and Agent Walker? I totally would.
The man at the mosque is Mr. Gohar is reluctant (and angry) to help Agent Walker and Jack. Jack is pretty self-righteous with him. I love me some Jack Bauer, but I side with the mosque guy. Luckily, Janice calls with a report from the DCPD and gets Jibraan's address. Jack hauls Mr. Gohar with them so he can't tip Jibraan off.
Chloe keeps fishing and discovers that Jibraan didn't actually receive the money they thought he received from Muslim extremists, the deposits were back-dated to frame him. Jack uncuffs Mr. Gohar and admits he was wrong. When they get to Jibraan's apartment, only Amid and a guard are there. They take both into custody.
Meanwhile, Janice sets Jonas up with Witness Protection info. I hope it's like My Blue Heaven. I'm wich you! I'm wich you. Jonas gets into his SUV for transfer... and is promptly blowed up. Yikes.
All the President's Men Daughter
Olivia meets with Martin Hollier, giving him Jonas Hodges' itinerary and agreeing to transfer $250,000 to him. Aaron the Awesome Agent stands guard. Oooh, if she drags him into anything I will be so angry.
Olivia receives an anonymous call with the bank routing numbers, but is interrupted by Aaron the Awesome Agent about her dad wanting to see her (he's been moved to the White House). She chickens out on her plan and goes to her father. The family has a nice moment at his bedside.
When they receive word of the Jonas Bomb, they learn that it had to be an inside job. Did Aaron kill Jonas with a car bomb for Olivia? Do not want! Sprague Grayden is fine and all, but she is no Jean Smart.
I can't believe we only have 3 episodes left, guys! It feels like this season has really flown by and I can't say that about all seasons of "24." I can't wait to see how it ends.


WHAT!? Olivia Taylor appeared on CSI: Miami right after 24. I couldn't feel sorry for Sprague's character on CSI, I was still fuming from 24 and was hoping for someone to take her out of commission.
I can't help but think Aaron had something to do with the blow up. I hope not, but I got a feeling. Course I've had lots of feelings this season and almost all of them have been wrong, so...
there's ravi kapoor playing the poor put upon muslim again ...on crossing jordan he was held by the evil homeland security...on numbers accused of help terrorists by simply spreading seed technology...and now jack bauer in his face because of his religion...oh woe is me..that sanctimonious drone in his voice is enough to merit waterboarding alone
love this show
Don't now why everyone is getting a vibe that Aaron helped kill Jonas. I totally did not get that. What I saw was Aaron watching the first daughter veeeery closely. He knows shes a bad seed.
I had a feeling that Jack would make "a new friend" by the end of the episode. Even foriegn holy men can't withstand the ***ault of Jack Respect that all good and honest people succomb to!
With 24 in the top 20 shows again this season, FOX is not going to allow the show to mess with a good thing.
I GUARANTEE that Kim will show up, give her stem cells, and Jack miraculously will be saved for a seventh season to be filmed in NYC this summer. There is no way in heck they are going to gamble with the highest rated show on FOX outside of American Idol (the only other top 20 show the network has this sesason).
Kudos to the writers of 24 using Tony Almeda to jack the ratings back up and give fans a story worth waiting two years for. I only hope they are able to pull off one more season with such a strong story line.
Jack and his Angels....LOVE IT!
Loved the scene with "Kelly"....that was the most heartfelt converstion with Jack and Chloe that I remember. Great scene with those two!
Good episode, I wonder who blew up Jonas. Did Olivia's hit man do it,( No hitman does a job in 30 minutes). Will Olivia now have to pay up. Did the OCE find out he was alive and do him in, or perhaps the first man took matters into his own hand from his sick bed.
Andrea, What the heck kind of recap was that? I dislike your references to Charlie's Angels and abhor the thought of Janis being in some Jack's Angels lineup. If I never see her face again, it will be fine with me. AND you didn't even mention Amid stabbing the guard in the neck with a piece of gl***, which I cannot believe he could survive, but judging from coming attractions, he actually does. Is this a result of that new speedwriting course you took?
I don't believe that Aaron had anything to do with Jonas' murder.
Tony as a bad guy just doesn't play in my mind. He doesn't seem to have the acting chops to play evil. He just looks pained. I keep hoping it's all a bad dream.
Olivia talking about murdering Jonas over the cell phone was laughable! She should know (don't we all) that you don't talk about stuff like that on the phone, and Martin kept reminding her. I don't know how she can expect to get away from the whitehouse at this point in time and escape everyone's notice (including Aaron's). He can't remain silent too much longer, can he?
