Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaNot only does Ira Gaines have remote access to his contact's computer inside the CTU, but apparently several "24" staff members as well: Michael Loceff- writer, Virgil Williams - writer, Nicole Burke - Second assistant director, Todd Wasserman - Production Assistant, Tony Pacheco - Production Accountant, Jason Savage - Assistant Location Manager. Also, none of the IP addresses actually exist. In every listing at least one octet is greater than 255 (IP octets range from 0-255). This ensures people looking for trivia don't actually try to remotely connect to existing IPs.
- GoofsGaines' monitor image (and our POV) of Nina apparently lying dead appears to come from a hand held camera from someone walking up behind or to the side of Jack as he shoots her. Even though there does seem to be one in the thugs' car, neither of them get out of the car, and, even if they had used the camera, the POV shots don't match up to what they can see while seated in the car. There's no way they could view over the embankment, where Nina lands.

Ira Gaines: [fires a gun into the air]
Jack Bauer: [panicked] Oh my God! What have you done?!? What have you done?!??!??!??
Ira Gaines: Everything's fine Jack, but unless you start doing as you are told, that will be the last sound your wife and daughter will hear.

Meanwhile, Senator Palmer's storyline continues to develop as he grapples with the personal and political ramifications of the scandal threatening his campaign. Palmer's moral integrity is put to the test as he navigates these challenges, and his interactions with his staff and family members reveal the complex dynamics at play. The episode's direction maintains a brisk pace, with the real-time format keeping viewers on edge. The cinematography captures the urgency and claustrophobia of the situations Bauer finds himself in, effectively enhancing the overall tension. Critics have praised the episode for its tight plotting and character development, though some have noted that the rapid succession of plot twists can occasionally feel overwhelming. Nevertheless, the episode successfully builds on the established narrative, deepening the intrigue and setting the stage for further revelations.
