Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaNot only does Ira Gaines have remote access to his contact's computer inside the CTU, but apparently several "24" staff members as well: Michael Loceff- writer, Virgil Williams - writer, Nicole Burke - Second assistant director, Todd Wasserman - Production Assistant, Tony Pacheco - Production Accountant, Jason Savage - Assistant Location Manager. Also, none of the IP addresses actually exist. In every listing at least one octet is greater than 255 (IP octets range from 0-255). This ensures people looking for trivia don't actually try to remotely connect to existing IPs.
- GoofsGaines' monitor image (and our POV) of Nina apparently lying dead appears to come from a hand held camera from someone walking up behind or to the side of Jack as he shoots her. Even though there does seem to be one in the thugs' car, neither of them get out of the car, and, even if they had used the camera, the POV shots don't match up to what they can see while seated in the car. There's no way they could view over the embankment, where Nina lands.

Jack Bauer: [steaming] If Alan York's dead, then who is the man with my wife.
Ira Gaines: [smug] He's not an accountant from the valley, that's for sure.
Jack Bauer: I swear to God if you hurt my wife or my daughter, I will kill you you son of a bitch!
Ira Gaines: [fires a gun into the air]
Jack Bauer: [panicked] Oh my God! What have you done?!? What have you done?!??!??!??
Ira Gaines: Everything's fine Jack, but unless you start doing as you are told, that will be the last sound your wife and daughter will hear.
Jack Bauer: I'll do as your told.
Ira Gaines: Good. That's the spirit.

Written by Sean Callery
Tensions are high from the very beginning, Jack having been controlled by the evil Ira Gaines for the past hour. Now, merely 90 minutes before David Palmer is scheduled to make a public appearance, he has to return to CTU and exchange some important evidence with a forgery so that the assassin, posing as a photographer, can work undisturbed. In order to do this, though, Bauer has to deceive his collaborators, and given he didn't trust some of them earlier on, any suspicious behavior is going to cause the same reaction in them. Similar difficulties are faced by Jack's wife Teri, who has just realized the man helping her is actually working for her daughter's kidnappers. Trust is also in short support in the Palmer family, with the Senator uncertain about his wife's loyalties after the discovery that she and their kids tried to keep a dangerous secret hidden from him.
This is probably the most tense hour of the entire season, due to the plot gimmick of everyone double-crossing everyone else and the real exasperation that emerges from Kiefer Sutherland's wounded performance. In addition, the identity of the mole inside CTU is finally revealed: it might not be who you expected. Still brilliant.
