Evil Genius President Logan managed to thwart Secretary of Defence Hella’s attempt to get him to resign. Now he seemingly will set his sights on his wife Martha, who must be suspicious after the disappearance of Agent Pierce. Meanwhile Bill and Chloe have set up CTU Junior at Bill’s house, while Jack and Audrey are still reeling from their latest confrontation with Henderson. With only six hours left things should be really exciting this week.
Once again Rob Purchase and I will bring live recap and analysis in real time, just like the show. Check back at 9 p.m. Eastern and refresh for updates.
Rob: Here we go”¦.
Another two minute long recap of what’s been going on just cuts away time from the actual show.
1:00
Jack is still looking after an injured Audrey. He says Henderson didn’t sever the artery so she should be ok. Chloe does not answer Jack’s call.
A cell phone is ringing, its from a dead body. Jack answers, its Heller who is asking why he is answering Wexle’s phone. Jack tells Heller about Henderson. Henderson tells Jack about Logan. Jack tells Heller he betrayed him.
Romo: Jack doesn’t forgive people. He kills them.
Jack calls Bill.
Rob: Yeah!
Bill tells Jack that Chloe is there. Jack talks to Chloe and asks her to track Henderson through CTU. Chloe is going to try and hack in.
Jack lifts Audrey up.
Chloe is bossing around Bill on how to set up the computers but apologizes for being bossy. Bill doesn’t mind.
Rob: You can boss me around anytime, babe!
Jack gives Chloe the info about Henderson’s car. She is trying to track him via the satellites.
Jack gets in the cop car and drives off with Audrey.
Henderson gets a call from Logan, who tells him Bauer is alive and he has the recording. He says he is going to keep the recording to protect himself. Logan says its absurd. They discuss Walt’s suicide. Logan tries to convince Henderson to destroy the recording. He says he will keep it in safe spot and it will only become available if he dies.
Romo: Don’t mess with Robocop.
Jack and Chloe talk on the phone. She gives him an update on Hendersons location.
Rob: I love how he is still driving the stolen cop car.
He catches up to Henderson and drives him off the road.
Rob: For a man who was tortured for hours earlier in the day he looks remarkable fine.
Henderson and Jack have a shootout in what looks like a barn or garage. Jack comes up from behind Henderson and gets him to drop his gun. Henderson says if he kills him, that Heller will die. His men have been tracking Heller from the air and have orders to kill him. Audrey comes in and whines.
Jack orders Henderson to cuff himself.
Rob: I love when he does that.
Jack calls Chloe to get him to hook him up with Heller and use a satellite to find him. Chloe orders Bill what to do.
Rob: This is awesome, Bill is taking orders. Secretly the way he likes it.
Jack gets a hold of Heller who confirms a helicopter is above them.
Heller sees a laser sight trained on him,
Romo: Like they would f*cking do that if they didn’t have the order to kill him,
Heller tells Jack not to listen to Heller. He says he will not let Logan and Henderson use him as a pawn. He says tell Audrey I love her.
Romo: He is gonna drive off a cliff of something.
As Helller heads to the cliff.
Rob: You are the man!!
Helle’s car heads over the cliff, it’s a big drop and the car falls into water.
Jack leaps at Henderson and starts to choke him.
Romo: Nice! Nice!!
He says this is Henderson’s greed for power not what is right for the country. Henderson says he doesn’t have the recording, and won’t tell Jack where it is. Jack has his gun pointed at him. Audrey tells him to do it.
Romo: Respect Audrey!

Rob: I love the punch”¦.a pistol whip would have been better.

Mrs. Logan is told by another agent that Pierce was transferred. She tells him that she found his phone and demands they get him back there. Agent Adams comes in and says he can explain everything.
Romo: This is bullshit. There would be a secret service agent assigned directly to her who would protect her over taking orders from the president.
The secret service agent locks Martha in a room. She checks the phone they aren’t working.
Jack calls Chloe and confirms Henderson handed off the recording. Chloe finds where the handoff was. He handed it to a plane? Bill wants to get Curtis involved. Jack agrees and wants him to pick up Audrey and Henderson.

Romo: She is gonna call Bill.
Karen calls Bill and warns him to get Chloe out of there in 7 minutes. He asks why she is warning him. She says she may have made a mistake earlier and admits she might believe Logan is involved.
Bill tells Chloe she has to go. She refuses to go. Jack needs her help.
Rob: Heart of a champion!
Martha is seen pouring herself a drink
Jack is now on the tarmac, sneaking around the plane. Rob confirms the British flag! He puts his hood up and jumps onto a baggage cart and sneaks into the baggage hold while the crew are not paying attention.
Rob: That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen.
1:59
Rob: I am not a fan of that!
Final Comments
Rob: Solid episode marred by crappy ending. Once again the MVP of the episode, two weeks running, and for the final time”¦Goitre-face (Heller). What upsets me the most, as a confirmed Anglophile is the implication that the Brits are involved. Rule Britannia!!
Romo: Let’s be honest, the Brits are still steaming from the Boston Tea Party. I must confirm that this episode was pretty wicked. I’m not as upset about the sketchy way Jack got on the airplane but I am upset at what I saw going on in the airplane in the preview for next week. All of a sudden a diplomatic flight is full with random people. Back on track though I proclaim the MVP of the episode to be none other than Martha Logan!
