This episode of 24 begins in the operating room of the hospital, where Janet York (Jacqui Maxwell) has crashed and is being revived while Alan York (Richard Burgi) and Teri Bauer (Leslie Hope) watch through the window. Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) calls Teri and she tells him about Janet. Jack tells her not to let anyone near Janet – that she might be in great danger. Jack drops the body off at CTU and tells Nina Myers (Sarah Clarke) to ID the man – that he is somehow connected to the assassination plot against Senator David Palmer (Dennis Haysbert). Jack takes a chopper to the hospital.
Back at the compound, Ira Gaines (Michael Massee) tells Rick to bury his friend Dan. Kim Bauer (Elisha Cuthbert) is just sitting there now – watching Rick. Kim tries to talk Rick into escaping with her – but he’s not having any.
Carl Webb (Zach Grenier) shows up at Palmer’s suite and is questioned by Sherry Palmer (Penny Johnson) – but he won’t tell her anything. Palmer tells Webb he now knows that he covered up Keith Palmer’s (Vicellous Reon Shannon) involvement in the rapist’s murder. Webb tells Palmer that he did cover up the fact that Keith had been with the rapist, but killed him in self defense. Palmer fires Webb – and then Webb tells him that Sherry Palmer orchestrated the whole cover up. Palmer is shocked and angry.
Back at the heavily guarded compound, Kim helps Rick dig Dan’s grave – and they sort of bond.
Jack arrives at the hospital and has security lockdown the ward where Janet is. Jack hugs Teri and then starts to question York – but Teri pulls him off.
Palmer confronts Sherry about Webb and Keith. They get into it. Palmer clearly no longer trusts his wife.
Gaines comes to where Kim is digging the grave with Rick and takes her into a building.
Jack pulls Teri aside and tells her about the Palmer assassination – and that Kim and Janet have something to do with it. Teri comes unglued. York is headed upstairs – Janet is out of surgery and in ICU – Jack and Teri follow.
The doctor tells Jack that he can question Janet – if it’s okay with her father. York says it’s okay, but he wants a moment with her first. York goes to Janet’s room while Jack and Teri wait. Jack’s phone rings – it’s Gaines. Gaines tells Jack to obey his orders, or Kim dies – Gaines can see Jack on the hospital security system. Gaines tells him to move down the hall, away from Teri. Jack complies. Gaines guides Jack to the parking garage. Meanwhile, York gets to Janet’s room, goes in and kills her – clearly, York is not really her father. (Oddly, no alarms go off as Janet flat lines.)
Jack is guided into a car that has cameras in it, and is then told to put a hidden com unit into his ear and throw away his cell phone. Jack’s told to go to CTU.
Teri tries calling Jack, but gets his answering system. York shows up where Teri is and shows her an address he says he got from Janet – that’s where Kim is. York leaves the hospital with Teri – to take her to the address.
Kim is taken back to Rick, who is finishing burying Dan.
Independent contractor and computer tech, Milo Pressman (Eric Balfour) shows up at CTU to break the key card codes Jamey had been working on.
Jamey has identified the body Jack brought in, but Nina can’t reach Jack so she calls Teri, thinking they are together. Nina asks Teri to give Jack the message that the body was that of the real Alan York. Teri realizes the man driving her is a bad guy. Tune in next week…
