Karen, Erik and Jack

(Look at me, I’m on time! Apologies if all my funny was used up in the last post)

This week in 24, I longed for the days of Auuuuudrey. She and her fabulous coat could snap that idiot Marilyn in half without thinking about it. That, or her dad could. Marilyn spends the episode floundering about like Olive Oyl while Jack actually gets shit done – finds Dad Bauer, saves his her son, etc. More on that in a minute.

Larry FLEINhart spends the episode pacing, then developing a bit of a mancrush on President Brother when he asks for Larry’s help in Assad’s speech. After helping, Larry decides to rat out Chad Lowe by calling the Secret Service. But before he can spill the beans, SYKE! ALL UP IN YOUR HEAD WITH A PIECE OF LEAD! Chad Lowe beats Larry FLEINhart, who tells him “There’s never any excuse for assasinating a President especially this one who could give me a kickass letter of recommendation !” Chad calls off Secret Service and skulks away. Side note: is no one in the bunker suspicious of all the time these two have spent in the boiler room/closet? If it were Seattle Grace, everyone could just assume they were boning. But they don’t have that luxury on this show.

Morris continues his parade of pity by acting all emo and taking it out on Chloe. Now, I don’t think Morris should be back at work. But since he went willingly, the least he could do is suck it up and be quiet. Instead, he snaps at Chloe, Miles, What’s Her Name (Cap’s Girlfriend, who did you know is a scientologist?) sneaks off and rinses his mouth out with whiskey and cries real tears. Then Chloe gives him what she may consider a verbal bitchslap, but longtime Chloe fans consider a mild tickle. LAME! Perhaps when Morris decides to give up his weeping vagina costume, I’ll go back to liking him.

Sister Palmer wasn’t in this episode! SCORE!

Jack Bauer spends the episode with Marilyn and her pratfalls. He threatens her life, then gets her to call Dad Bauer and make him meet her to give up the grandkid (what’s his name? Jack Jr?). They show up at the hotel, where Dad Bauer has a gun to Jack Jr’s head and threatens to make his will even SHORTER. Jack convinces him to trade Jack Jr. for him. Dad Bauer acts like he’s about to assassinate Jack, who gives a the standard “ALL I EVER WANTED WAS FOR YOU TO LOVE ME!” speech. Jack turns around – Dad Bauer gave him the slip! But he did leave a phone with Grizzly Adams’ phone number in it. Wait a sec, that’s no Grizzly Adams… THAT’S PRESIDENT LOGAN (is an idiot)! And he’s been waiting for Jack’s call! KICKASS!

(No picture tonight, dinner just arrived!)
