Let's see if I can remember.

One of the core reactors has already melted down. It's the San Gabriel Island reactor in Southern California. The population has evacuated but some of them are still in the path of the nuclear fallout.

Jack and Tony cornered the terrorist mom in a hotel room. She tried to shoot herself but they prevented her from doing it and captured her. She cut a deal with them that her son would get a full pardon and that she would help them. But only if they rescued her son Berooz because his father found him at the hospital and and is trying to kill him.

We got to see more hot Turkish ladies as terrorist dad went looking for his wife and kid and went to his relatives house where he found one of the Turkish ladies hitting it with some dude that wasn't her husband.

Berooz went to the hospital where his uncle worked to get some pain medication, but his uncle tipped off the terrorist father and Berooz got captured in the hospital.

The father took Berooz to the basement of the hospital and is cornered, if he shoots Berooz, the terrorist Mom will talk to the Americans and tell them where the nuclear override switch is.

Meanwhile, Edgar had a very sad scene with his mother, she has no car and cannot leave her house, she is also very feeble, so can't get around easily; everyone else already left so she can't get out of town before the nuclear fallout hits. She decided to take her own life instead of dying. Edgar wanted to go rescue her but there wasn't enough time, and his mom told him to stay at his post because what he was doing was going to save millions of lives, and that's what she wanted.

That was the best scene of the show, and one of my favorite so far, I thought it was as good as when Tony showed up and started capping the bad guys to save Jack and the Secretery's daughter.

Good ep, but I thought Jack saying 'Did you get that?' at the end to be a bit out of place.

I hope next week's ep isn't a tiresome hour-long hostage scenario in the stairwel...

Yeah, it seems it was just a place holder for future episodes. While I thought the mom scene was touching, I kept asking myself "what the F*** does this have to do with anything"

Best line, (while not as good as " I can have him killed" from the previous episode) was Jack responding with, I'm going through that Door and I want him (tony) behind me.

And I like hot terrorist mom explaining what she believed even though she was going to help. We needed that.

Got spare money?

I don't get this show. Why does it say it's 4 in the morning but it's light outside?

and the split screens still bother me.

I guess it's alright. Maybe if I watched it from the beginning.

at least Jack has good taste in guns. I think it may be the same gun I have. Actually I don't like that gun that much.

I just assumed they did since it's a military style show.

I've only watched about 45 minutes worth since the show started.

Quick question.

Remember the beginning of the season, and that kinda runty little fella was the head of Tactical? What was his name, Ricky or something? Dead by Hour Three?

How the **** did he end up head of Tactical, when Curtis is clearly an absolute killing machine? When he killed two terrorists with his bare hands in about five seconds?

Holy ****. How awesome was that?

That ought to get her out of the way for a while. I can't believe they are putting The Almighty Almeida back in charge of CTU.

I think the Assistant Director of Division might not be too pleased with that.

I really liked Erin and her daughter, it was tough to see her try and save the world while her own daughter was losing it. It also showed a more human side of her.

Curtis put the smackdown on those two terrorists big time!!!! Who did they think they were messing with???

Tony is hilarious with his gut though!

This was one of the best episodes of 24 ever.

I'm serious, though.

Who had the bright idea to keep Curtis cooped up in the office as Erin's XO, when he clearly ought to have been out in the field snapping terrorist necks in twain with his bare hands?

I am henceforth referring to 24 as "The Curtis Manning Show".

I guess I'll watch this show, it's starting right now.

the nuclear power plants melting down seems silly to me. Though I don't know the details of that (I missed that episode).

I still have no idea what's going on. I missed the first few seasons, and the first part of this one.
