24 2.3 FAQ

What’s it called?

“Day 2: 10:00 AM-11:00 AM.”

Who’s responsible?

Teleplay is credited to Howard Gordon.

What did Coax say about this one in its Aug. 5 spoilers?

Jack Bauer’s old CTU boss, George Mason, will get some very, very, very bad news at 11 a.m. Seems he’s been victimized by terrorists in a highly personal way.

What does TV Guide say?

“Kim makes contact with Jack, who tries to warn the immediate target; a new lead detours Mason's plans; Kate is asked to remain calm in the face of disturbing news.”

A new lead detours Mason from fleeing the blast radius like a frightened bunny?

LAPD makes a possible vehicle match with someone on the “watch list.” It’s on the way to Bakersfield.

Jack tried to warn the “immediate target”? What do they mean by “immediate target”? CTU?

Yes.

Well, what does the “immediate target” have to do with Kim?

Confusing, isn’t it?

What disturbing news is Kate asked to remain quiet about?

Future brother-in-law Reza has had contact with terrorist-linked Syed Ali.

The big news?

In the first half, Mason is exposed to the bombers’ deadly radioactive materials.

What else is TV Guide not telling us?

Megan’s dad talks to the cops. Kim, still without her cell, decides to visit Jack at CTU.

What’s up with little Megan?

Kim finds her almost immediately, chatting up seedy-looking strangers in an effort to find Kim.

What of the weaselly broadcaster, Ron Weiland? Is he tortured by Armus and the blue unit?

Weiland doesn’t seem to be around this week.

Any sign of Nina?

Not this week.

Any sign of Sherry?

Nope.

Does Michelle Forbes cavort nakedly?

Frustratingly, Ms. Forbes continues to remain clothed. She does, however, learn from Bauer about the threat to CTU, but has difficulty relaying this intel to the president ant to CTU itself.

What’s Forbes' character’s role, anyway?

Lynne is special assistant to the president. The Tamlyn Tomita character, who also turns up again this week, is Palmer’s press secretary.

How does it end, spoiler-boy?

Mason learns how much time he has.
