I am so far behind in this stuff it is unreal.  The Capitals won on Saturday, I am sure you are all dying to know.  My beloved Caps!  Rock the Red!!  Ok, anyway.  So back to 24-land.  Meet Tricia the Lawyer.  She is on her way to the White House but in true 24 fashion, she gets gassed first.  And then drugged some more.  Someone is literally stealing her identity.  This show is enough to make you paranoid. 

Tony is waiting for the cavalry and then he shoots himself.  Nice.  Maybe you should shoot yourself again, just to be safe.  Tony tells Bad Guy #19 to stay put, he’s still got to figure out how to get him in the clear. 

Back at the FBI, Kim says good bye to Dumbdumb.  No one can change Jack’s mind, yeah yeah we know.  Why don’t they just wait till he goes nuts and then do the procedure?  He won’t be able to say no then….But Kim is glad she got to talk to Papa.  Then Dumbdumb finds out Larry is dead.  She is a deer in the headlights, and not in that endearing way that makes you go ooooooooooo….how sad.  More like the way that makes you want to smack her in the face.  Hard.  Now she’s in charge.  Greeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaat.  Pull yourself woman!  She tells Fake-Chloe that Someone has to notify Larry’s ex that he’s dead, but she doesn’t think it should be her.  Uh huh.  Jack is still in debriefing.  He’s repeating himself a lot.  He’s losing it.  Then he wonders off and walks in on Dumbdumb’s briefing.  Dumbdumb tells Jack that Larry is dead…and he might be a little sad about that or it could just be the brain-eating disease effecting his facial expressions. 

Tony the Terrible is eavesdropping on the security sweep of the area and after he figures out the entire protocol he calls Bad Guy #19 to give him a way out.  Tony wants him to blow up the FBI.  Nice.  Nice and subtle.  Just as Dumbdumb is about to take off in the helicopter, Jack jumps in.  Dumbdumb is like whatever. 

Fake Tricia is at the White House.  The President hears about Larry and of course has no idea what is going on.  Olivia thinks that JV is behind it.  The President remembers what JV said about this being the tip of the iceberg.  She wants JV to go to the FBI to be interrogated.  But Fake Tricia is going to have something to say about that first, she’s in JV’s cell.  He knows it’s not her.  He wants to know how she’s going to get him out.  She says this is difficult.  He jeopardized the plan.  He developed the bio weapon for somebody else.  Very cryptic.  He wants to talk to Them.  And she says, your family will be safe if you commit suicide.  So she gives him a cyanide pill.  Olivia walks in, cuts off this lovely conversation and says we’re moving.  Babye.  Fake Tricia is on the phone with Them, she says it’s taken care of.  Tony is calling her too, he’s her guy.  This is extremely confusing, in a really annoying way.  Does anyone else have the feeling we’re going in a big circle.  Them is probably the White House.  Or Aliens.  Those are my two guesses.

Bad Guy #19 is in an abandoned apartment building.  He is setting up the FBI-killing C4.  Jack tries to talk to Dumbdumb and say he’s sorry about Larry.  It’s alright to be feeling what you’re feeling.  Don’t pretend like you’re not feeling anything.  And Dumbdumb gets bitchy as usual, don’t tell me what to feel.  Have I mentioned how much I hate her?  Tony sees Jack get out of the helicopter….uh oh.  Dumbdumb wants to see dead Larry.  That wasn’t a good idea.  Jack says it doesn’t add up.  Jack knows someone else was involved.  Now Tony is in trouble, but Jack’s not onto him yet. 

Jack isn’t doing well.  Tony follows him and sees him injecting himself with the anti-seizure meds.  You basically killed him too, Tony.  Bad Guy #19 killed one of the agents and then calls in to draw FBI to the bomb building.  Jack can’t go with her because he’s about to die.  Tony watches Jack like a hawk. 

JV takes the pill in the van on the way to the FBI.  Now they’re taking him to the hospital.  Dumbdumb and the Feds are going into the bomb building.  Then the debriefer calls Jack about a name Jack said he got from Tony.  Vincent Carter?  Jack gets off the phone before he figures out that Tony is Terrible.  He wants a map overlay of the transponder codes on the walkies for the Feds.  Jacks knows it’s a trap, tells them to evacuate, but it’s too late.  Of course.  The building explodes.  Jack tells the Feds to stand fast, he knows exactly what is going on.  Don’t let the canister out.  Bad Guy #19 is now in FBI gear.  Tony runs into the building to “help”.  Jack can’t get Dumbdumb on the walkie and for a brief shining moment I think she is dead but of course not, Jack finds her….disappointingly alive.  Renee says it’s like they knew.  I think Jack just figured it out. 

He calls the debriefer and figures out the Tony was lying about Vincent Carter.  Tony gets Bad Guy #19 into an ambulance before Jack confronts him.  Jack says if you were lying, I’d kill you myself.  Tony is like I couldn’t tell you about Carter, I made a deal with him not to say anything if he gave me the intel and Jack is like there is no such thing as a meaningless lie.  He is so ridiculously sel-righteous.  Tony says you’re not thinking straight.  Jack knows it’s him.  Tony says its paranoia.  Jack goes into seizures.  Tony takes the gun.  Then he basically confesses but Jack can do nothing and at this point I am hurling things at the television screen.  Bad Guy #19 kills the EMT and then holds the driver at gunpoint.  The end.

This show makes me crazy.
