CTU is watching as Logan is being brought in. Milo makes a brief half-second appearance for the first time since he got shot. Logan asks Chloe who she is, then what's going on with Bauer. She can't talk now. She says he has the security camera to keep him company, and to stay put in holding.
Buchanan calls a meeting and introduces everyone to Mike Doyle and tells all of them Bauer is being held captive. Milo plays dumb so the new guy can puff out his chest and tell everyone that their primary goal is to capture Markov, then get Jack out. Milo continues to argue, not being able to do much else with his right arm in a sling. Ooh, apparenty Milo has issues with Doyle and says he is a jerk, just like John Denver. Wait, that was IN Denver.
Chloe comes back in after missing the whole meeting and asks Morris for the summary. He tells her that the goal is to get Markov, not Jack. This does not make Chloe very happy.
Speaking of Jack, he sees his friend who tried to help him a week ago (five minutes ago?) and he's lying on the floor. A guard kicks Jack and tosses him down the stairs. He then calls Markov asking if he should kill the American. Jack plays unconscious, and somehow knows just exactly when the guard is raising his gun. He lassos his belt around the gun (!) and tosses the guard to the ground! Jack worms his way to the gun while the guard grabs a small cuticle knife. No contest. Markov watches as the guard gets shot. He tells his men to find him in the basement, as if he would just stick around. No one can find him behind that one suitcase! Markov instructs everyone to turn off everything everywhere. Jack gets to the phone and calls CTU but can't finish his call! "Damn it!" So, he moves some fuse wires around and turns out the lights.
Milo tells Buchanan that Jack just called and Bill tells Milo to continue messanger duties, and to tell Doyle that Jack is not dispensable.
Buchanan tells Logan his plan to attack, and Logan doesn't agree. Logan tells Bill that he knows a way to convince President Subaru-ov to act against Markov. His insane ex-wife, Martha.
Doyle walks from computer to computer pointing out things that are wrong. Nobody likes him. He grabs Morris by the neck because Morris takes 2 extra seconds! Then he makes a big speech about him being in charge, and he don't want no lip. Milo tells Doyle not to manhandle the nice bald guy, and to come to him with any problems.
Lennox meets with VP and says he will look the other way, for now. But the truth will prevail! But VP wants Lennox to flat out lie and say he SAW Assad plant the bomb. Lennox doesn't like it, and VP spits on him. VP convinces Lennox to go along with it, because we're mad as hell!
Gredenko, still way out in plain sight where nobody is looking, is getting the bombs ready. Hey CTU, why not hover around and look for people surrounded by airplanes and drones?
Buchanan tells VP his thoughts about Martha and attacking the consulate and VP tells CTU to plan as if they're going to attack the consulate.
Aaron is taking care of Martha Logan, giving her fruit and magazines. Logan calls. Aaron answers "Martha Logan's Bungalow!" Logan gives him the skinny while Martha gets angry. Aaron continues to argue that she does not want to speak with him, but Logan mentions the Suvarovs. Martha jumps and gets on the phone. Luckily they're only minutes away from CTU so Logan is going to come see them.
Bill tells Logan they are going to attack, and if he doesn't like it, he has to get Martha's cooperation, Suvarov's wife's attention and Suvarov's demand to make Markov surrender before it's too late. It's a long shot.
Jack finds two Russians loving it up in a back room and asks them how they contact the outside world. Jack threatens them and asks for a phone, or he will kill them. The guy leaves and he tells the girl she'll be fine. Unless of course CTU attacks the consulate, which is very possible.
Logan arrives at the bungalow and Aaron refuses to shake hands. Aaron says Martha changed her mind, and she doesn't want to see him. Don't remember her ever agreeing to see him. But she pops out of her room when she notices how thin he is. He tells her the season's recap but doesn't want to go into any more detail. Martha will not dance like a monkey, and doesn't think Logan's "prison" is all that bad. Martha asks Aaron what to do, and he tells her to do it. She dances for him now.
VP and Lennox sits down with the Ambassador. VP threatens that he will attack his country unless they help him find the rest of the bombs.
Mrs. Suvarov is giving a speech and cannot be bothered yet. Logan apologizes for upsetting Martha and she starts getting frisky with Aaron in front of him. She starts getting very angry and takes it out on some kiwi. Logan says a few nice words to Aaron and Martha loses it again. She gets up with her fruit and stops short. She takes a knife and stabs Logan! She hits an artery! Good aim Martha! Logan is bleeding bad.
Bill wants to know if Martha can still talk to Suvarov. Aaron doesn't know. She says of course, she's not crazy! Anya doesn't know much. She tells Anya that details are very important, except apparently for Logan. Anya asks for more information...
...Seconds later, Suvarov commands Markov to surrender and to give up Jack unharmed. Markov disobeys and hangs up. Suvarov tells Bill that Markov won't give up, and agrees to the attack on the consulate.
Jack finally gets the phone from the lovebirds. (Chloe could've gotten it in seconds.) A couple of guards come in and start shooting. Man lovebird is hit!
CTU attacks the consulate. Guards down! Jack and the woman are ok.
Markov calls Gredenko and tells him they are under attack and to launch the drones immediately.
Doyle introduces himself to Jack.
The drone is ready to launch.
Bill tells CTU to focus on Shadow Valley.
Logan wakes up, says "Martha" and flatlines.

Monday... 24... Ep. 6-12... "5:00 PM-6:00 PM"
So, President Palmer is on a stretcher headeed to surgery. Considering that due to the time-delay of this show, and it's about 30 seconds after the bomb went off, that's really fast.
Speaking of fast, I remember Jack being in his suit, but was Logan? He's dressed to the nines now and they're getting in a motorcade already. Logan is going on about hearing voices in the silence, reminiscing of how he was locked behind the cold bars of the gate to his nice house for a year. Buchanan tells jack about the assassination attempt on Palmer, and he acts surprised. Come on, Jack. Every President you know is in danger with you around.
Palmer is in surgery? THAT was fast.
"Lennox is occupied." Why is everyone so concered with him? Oh, right, because he's literally tied up at the moment. And it's fun to watch Reid Lowe squirm.
Sec. of Defense says that they don't know if and when Palmer will recover. This being 24, it'll take at least 3 hours! VP asks for who else but Tom Lennox! Reid must be peeing his pants trying to cover his tracks. The Sec. of Defense asks about Tom Lennox! Reid says he saw him somewhere, but SoD says he already checked there. Boy, that hasn't happened before. They go back and Reid puts his foot down, once again telling Bomb-Maker that they are not murderers! He unties Tom with a stern "You know the situation, right?" and "I know you'll do the right thing." They exit the room to a quick "Tom!" We've all been looking for you for hours! For he's a jolly good fellow! Then, Tom tells them to arrest Reid and Bomb-maker!
VP arrives to the White House calls Buchanan and asks about why Logan was released. Duh, because they all do what Jack Bauer wants. VP says ok, but he wants him back under House arrest immediately!
Logan tells Jack he needs to talk to Markov alone. Huhthewha? Jack doesn't like that idea. But Logan uses the power of "quick, this is 24" persuasion to convince him. Jack tells him not to go beyond 20 feet of him, he's under Jack arrest now. Jack walks the opposite way and somehow stays less than 20 feet away. Logan doesn't smoke anymore, but he looks high. Logan interrogates Markov very calmly. Markov claims over and over again that he doesn't know where Gredenko is. Logan backs down, says he is sorry, and that he believes him. Of course he first threatens to ruin him by calling Russia and telling them about his involvement in the gas scare two years ago, even though he promised not to. But his promise is null and void in Los Angeles. Markov will make calls. Logan leaves with no info. He tells Jack he is an expert in lying, so he knows that Markov knows more.
Markov immediately calls Gredenko, who isn't happy. "We want Arabs blamed, now we exposed, Russia exposed!"
Jack calls Chloe with an idea! Chloe always looks at her phone with such a questionable stare. She is to turn off all the power, distract the stupid guards who would immediately leave Markov exposed, and go after Markov himself. She has to work under the radar. Hopefully she doesn't have to take her eyes off Morris.
Karen Hayes-Buchanan watches a pretty damn clear video of live news coverage on her Sprint phone, then gets a call from Buchanan. She is more shocked than Jack was hearing about the assassination attempt, and decides she has to go back and help out, probably knowing that Tom's ideas will go through as the VP takes over.
VP talks to blonde girl in the elevator about putting Tom's plans into motion. Sec of defense tells VP that Tom has remanded himself into custody, and says nothing about Reid and Carson. VP goes in to talk to Lennox, who says he was just pretending to go along with Reid. He tries to explain but VP wants to put all the blame on Assad. Lennox claims it doesn't make any sense. They get heated. "That's what they want you to think, dummy!" Tom keeps calling him Noah. I guess he doesn't respect the title. VP quickly switches gears and tells Tom to just be quiet and go with the plans.
Jack sneaks up to the consulate and is spotted! But he quickly learns Russian and tells the guard he is going to the back door. The guard accepts this without any question whatoever. Fine job those guys do. Jack has 60 seconds until the power goes back on. His plan works, and all the guards run away. Jack gets into Markov's office and the 60 seconds quickly turns into about 15. He is spotted again! He decides to be very frank with the guards and tells them not to enter or he will kill Markov. Jack calls CTU and tells Buchanan what's going on. Bill tells Jack to get out, but this is Jack's show. He hangs up.
Bill calls VP and tells him Markov is a hostage, just FYI. Blonde from the elevator tells VP that the office rumor was that Karen quit because of Tom. Russia is on the phone and in addition to being pissed off that Palmer is unavailable, they want Jack stopped. Or else. Russia tells VP they must go through the appropriate diplomatic channels!
Jack stars getting violent. Markov slips up and mentions that he knows Gredenko is in the US. Jack wants to know why Gredenko is working with Fayed. Jack cuts off his pinky! Antony reacts as if he stubbed his toe, but he gives up some information, laughing and smiling like a little schoolboy. Jack walks away and they blow the door, taking Jack down. Antony punches him in the gut and they take him away!
VP gets on the tele and poorly reads a very poor statement. He tells people he will be pushing forward with new plans that will cost people some of their freedoms. Such is the price of war.
Morris talks about how difficult it is to bypass diplomatic traffic, but does it in about 15 seconds when it's convenient for him. Apparently he can read Russian as well as Jack can speak it. He finds out they have Jack in custody. Buchanan plans to wait a little while, then give VP the option to take the consulate by force.
Jack is tied to a chair. Some guard with a bluetooth is not allowed to talk. Jack tells him what's happened in the last 12 episodes. Bluetooth guard tells Jack to use the appropriate channels againb to try and take down Markov. Jack once again easily convinces someone to believe his word, and Guy leaves to call CTU.
Bluetooth guard tries to call CTU, but gets shot! That's what happens when you try to help Bauer.

Monday... 24... Ep. 6-11... "4:00 PM-5:00 PM"
Gredenko and Fayed are talking in length about how long it will take to do all this bomb stuff. Which is funny because when they say two hours, it's almost like they're saying "in two episodes, this will happen."
Buchanan is shocked to hear that Jack has a lead, and it's Logan. Jack is shocked to hear that Logan is under house arrest, pleading guilty to "obstruction of justice" instead of being involved in the whole plot to kill David Palmer. So, I guess he got off light. I bet he has a nice house to be held up in.
Jack is making lovey eyes at Marilyn again, and stroking her face with his mutant hands. I guess all these years, Terry was his second choice, eh? He was pretty sad when she got killed, though. He says Josh reminds him or her, which is weird because I bet he reminds her of Jack. Or maybe Jack's father. Probably not Graem, though.
Morris can't trace any use of the phone line to the address Gredenko was supposed to be using. He tries and tries, so he deserves some props. Nadia thinks they did a spic-n-span on the place if they indeed were there, but things look grim.
Rob Lowe's brother, which I spell Reid, meets up with the guy who is going to assemble the bomb to kill President Principal Robin Wood Palmer. Reid's friend wants to kill Tom Lennox, but Rob Lowe's brother says they'll think about it. Bomb guy starts his work and Reid takes off. When some lady (Melinda, we learn) asks where Tom is, he hurries to make an excuse about a conference room - but she just came from the room he said Tom was in! Oh snap.
Chloe notices Morris made an obvious mistake which only Chloe would notice after a 2-second comb-through, and starts drilling him (ooh, bad choice of words) about him calling his sponsor. Which makes a lot of sense because he's only working with the Counter Terrorist Unit to stop the detonation of nuclear bombs, so he obviously has some free time to call someone and chat about wanting a drink. He leaves, Chloe peeps onto his electro-notepad and jots down the number of his sponsor. Nadia tells Chloe she doesn't think Morris is ok, and she's keeping an eye on him. That's now three eyes, including Nadia, Milo and Chloe. Thankfully, Milo is apparently still getting bandaged up and can't use his eyes on Morris quite yet.
Buchanan updates Nadia on Jack's arrival at Logan's Roadhouse. He hopes Jack can get something, but looks pretty pessimistic for a Director of CTU on a crucial, crucial day like today.
Jack jogs gingerly up to the house. Logan claims he's changed; he isn't the same man he was two years ago, just like Jack isn't the same man who was dragged and thrown into a Chinese prison (I bet there, they just call it "prison.") He gives up some information about a man (Markov) working with Gredenko, asking nothing in return. Jack doesn't trust him, but "maybe he should start!"
He must have taken Logan's advice because, minutes later, Jack tells President Palmer that he thinks they can trust him! Palmer doesn't like the dirty rat that killed his brother. Palmer and Logan speak on the phone, Logan calls Palmer needy, and Palmer decides they have to take the chance. But, no forgivenesss!
Buchanan decides to give Morris's workload to Chloe. Apparently all the eyes on him were distracting, and Bill finally had enough. Morris stands as if he were in an AA meeting, apologizes for giving the programming device to Fayed and for not having a time machine, and says he can do his job. With no fight whatsoever, Buchanan draws back. Nadia objects, but his decision is final. Smackdown.
Reid's bomb-maker friend starts taunting Lennox with "you're wasting your energy" and "the President is going to die." At least he doesn't use silly metaphors and wordplay like "I have the ball now, Johnny." The bomb will be ready in 30 minutes, with only about 26 left in the show. Reid has second thoughts as it finally hits him, and he reminds all of us that they are going to kill the President... of the United States! Bomb-maker assures him that they're only trying to save their country, and he should run along like a good little terrorist.
Chloe once again confronts Morris, who has more eyes on him than a potato. She asks if he was drinking, he says "a couple of beers," she accuses him of being sarcastic. This coming from Chloe O'Brien. Morris seems pretty stable and has a good excuse for not completing the missing sectors, which sounds more logical than the lie Chloe told Nadia. Morris hurries out of frame, and Chloe gets a call from the lady in Morris's phone and - wait for it - she hasn't been a sponsor in three years! Chloe can't find Morris in the two rooms she looks in, or the man on the phone, so she deduces that he probably had to pee out all the liquor he "hasn't metabolized". But when she gets there, he's trying to find out who Number Two works for. Ever the confronter, Chloe accuses Morris of lying to her. Morris claims that he's not lying and that Ted (with the hair!) is his new sponsor. Chloe leaves a little speechless, has no objection to Morris having saved a woman's phone number for three years, and he pours about 2 ounces of alcohol down the sink.
Reid attends to Lennox, finally working on a cut he gave him about an hour and a half ago. He wants to know if Tom was "playing them from the beginning." Lennox tells Reid that he was "against him from the start," which was really only about three hours ago. Reid puts the tape back on Tom's mouth and takes a call from a pesky Melinda, and tells her that he will notify Tom that Palmer wants to see him. Bomberman finishes his work and tells Reid how to detonate it. He says he is the only one that can get close enough and not attract attention. Everyone looks at him as he walks down the hall.
Tom makes a latch ditch effort to sweat Bomb-maker to death, and bomb-maker has to go turn it off. At this point, Tom lacks the Jack Bauer-like knowhow to kick him behind the knee to take him down. I suppose with the duct tape, he can't do the Bauer Bite.
Assad begins "rehearsing" his speech after Reid plants the bomb under the podium. Reid leaves and begrudgingly sets the timer, with Assad standing right there and Palmer way off to the side. Nice assassination there. The bomb goes off, Assad appears to be dead or really hurt, and the Palmer is lying unconscious. But is he dead?!@?!!?

Monday... 24... Ep. 6-10... "3:00 PM-4:00 PM"
Family members are just so easy.
Jack's dad, "Dad" has who is possibly Jack's son "Josh", but is also Marilyn's son and maybe Graem's son, who is Jack's brother and of course, Jack's father's son. Jack's mom is nowhere to be found. I wonder what Jack's father's mother thinks of all this; She didn't raise no fool.
Usually kids act really calm or really scared. Josh is somewhere in between. It's as if his notes were "act as if you don't know what's going on, but you just want to go play video games."
Meanwhile, Morris goes from wanting to do his job to freaking out about being the cause of more bombs to binge "drinking" (I didn't metabolize!). Then all of a sudden. he's completely fine. Let him go back to work, it's the best medicine. I wonder where his Red Bull went. Combine those with Altoids? Oh boy. Good thing Chloe will keep her eye on him. As will Milo. You can count on some interesting banter from those two!
Milo (CTU is full of cat-like names) got shot and looks almost worse than Morris, and he got a drill through the arm plus a bit of water torture. Plus, Morris has that cool bald head and you can see the big bruise. I think it's obvious who the bigger man is. Damn right, it's Chloe.
President Principal Robin Wood is about to be kiiiilllled! Where's Buffy when you need her?
John Cage (I mean Tom Lennox!) took a nasty gun to the head and doesn't look any worse for wear, besides being passed out cold, of course. Should have seen it coming, Rob Lowe's brother should never be trusted. But if that area was so safe for those two to talk in, how come he was able to hear Lennox make that phone call? It's not like he was across an open room like Josh was when he heard Daddy threaten Marilyn. Which is rule number one in holding a hostage, always go at least two rooms away! I guess he could have kept the door open, although I thought I saw Tom open it.
I like how they give Jack a nice long speech and zoom the camera in rreeeeaaallly close, and we're NOT supposed to expect Daddy to run away. I'm surprised that phone Jack found wasn't accompanied by a "I love you, son" note.
Ok, so who left the phone? Was it Logan himself? No, couldn't be. I don't know if Daddy would have left it, he could have just told him. At least Marilyn got away with Josh, but not before a nice moment with Jack that could have used some harp music. Aw, she touches his face, and he touches her hand with HIS MUTANT HAND! It's nice she is so quick to forgive him throwing her against the wall and choking her. He's got the balls (and the smarts) Graem never had. Love is in the air.
Jack's dad, "Dad" has who is possibly Jack's son "Josh", but is also Marilyn's son and maybe Graem's son, who is Jack's brother and of course, Jack's father's son. Jack's mom is nowhere to be found. I wonder what Jack's father's mother thinks of all this; She didn't raise no fool.
Usually kids act really calm or really scared. Josh is somewhere in between. It's as if his notes were "act as if you don't know what's going on, but you just want to go play video games."
Meanwhile, Morris goes from wanting to do his job to freaking out about being the cause of more bombs to binge "drinking" (I didn't metabolize!). Then all of a sudden. he's completely fine. Let him go back to work, it's the best medicine. I wonder where his Red Bull went. Combine those with Altoids? Oh boy. Good thing Chloe will keep her eye on him. As will Milo. You can count on some interesting banter from those two!
Milo (CTU is full of cat-like names) got shot and looks almost worse than Morris, and he got a drill through the arm plus a bit of water torture. Plus, Morris has that cool bald head and you can see the big bruise. I think it's obvious who the bigger man is. Damn right, it's Chloe.
President Principal Robin Wood is about to be kiiiilllled! Where's Buffy when you need her?
John Cage (I mean Tom Lennox!) took a nasty gun to the head and doesn't look any worse for wear, besides being passed out cold, of course. Should have seen it coming, Rob Lowe's brother should never be trusted. But if that area was so safe for those two to talk in, how come he was able to hear Lennox make that phone call? It's not like he was across an open room like Josh was when he heard Daddy threaten Marilyn. Which is rule number one in holding a hostage, always go at least two rooms away! I guess he could have kept the door open, although I thought I saw Tom open it.

Monday... 24... Eps. 6-8 "1:00 PM-2:00 PM", 6-9 "2:00 PM-3:00 PM"
For two hours, not a lot happened. Well, yeah it did. But it didn't leave me feeling like the story was moving along all that quickly.
I think it's hard for them to come up with new material. Once again we had the good guy being tortured. Personally I was surprised Morris held out that long. I know he's not a traitor or anything, but his character seems like a wuss. I actually thought the chick was going to uncuff Morris and help him, but sometimes the twists are so obvious, you don't see them coming. So she kills Darren McCarthy (who I like to believe is named after Darren McCarty) so she can get the $7 million all to herself. Until she whines like a ten year old and gets killed.
Jack has to disarm one of the bombs. I wish just once he would know how to do it, and quickly. Maybe not as quickly as Chloe seemed to get those schematics though. (Come on, it took them longer to get the schematics for the hotel to find Fayed.) It's 24, the "Jack Bauer Hour of Power". It's not like we're on the edge of our seats wondering if Jack will mess up and die in an explosion. And to have him disarm it with the trigger almost touching, they might as well had put a timer on it and have it say 00:00:01. Of course, without the shaky hands, he could have made it a lot less dramatic.
John Cage - oh sorry. Tom Lennox! He wants to resign but Rob Lowe's brother talks him out of it with an idea to kill Palmer. Really? I wonder if there are this many moles and death plots surrounding real Presidents. It's too obvious. In the world of 24, we're up to like 55 Presidents already. Why not a few more? I'm surprised Sherry Palmer didn't have her shot at it. Well, I don't think it was ever 100% clear that she was really dead, so maybe one day!
In the second hour, the big thing is Jack's father telling Marilyn that he killed Graem and to lead Jack to a different location. Marilyn wants to tell Jack SO BADLY about his father, but thinks better of it so we can have more dramatic pauses. Jack and his men surround and enter the house. A bomb goes off in the house, ONCE AGAIN TRYING TO MAKE US BELIEVE JACK DIED IN AN EXPLOSION. Ok, well it's probably more to make Marilyn think that. But sheesh. Remember when Jack could barely speak? And couldn;t keep his hand steady? Now he's jumping out of exploding houses. Whatever. Milo escapes with Marilyn, hopefully to shave that goatee he's worn as every single character he's ever played.
But now we know the Russians are behind the bombs and not the Arabs. So, if Fayed is just a pawn, why is he even working with the Russians? Oh well. I probably missed something.
Jack: Are you sure this time?
Chloe: About as sure as I'm going to be before this bomb goes off.
