First off, I have to say that Adam over at The Jack Sack summed up Monday’s episode perfectly, in this video.

I’ll wait here while you watch …

hahahahaha. OK, that was the 24 blog equivalent of a RickRoll, except that it’s totally worth watching.

So what happened?

Jack was exposed, but the level of exposure seems unclear to me. It doesn’t seem he can infect anyone else, as he’s running around in the FBI hq and no one’s running screaming from him, so that’s a good sign, no?

Larry Moss, however, should have allowed Jack to go along with them – even an impaired Jack is worth at least a half-dozen regular, unimpaired agents.

Speaking of the raid, what a freakin’ disaster that was. Tony got pwnd by Mr. Smarmy Suit Guy, who tricked him into believing he was breaking from Hodges. So, all bureaucratic-like, the FBI used a warrant that specifically detailed the exact wrong area of the Starkwood compound and knew that the FBI would be too law-abiding to push through the Starkwood mercernary force.

Dude, Tony, you didn’t used to be so easy to manipulate.

As for Olivia, I’m still not sure if she’s the mole. Her reaction to the news about Starkwood seemed … curious. But 24’s producers have thrown us red herrings like that before. If she is a mole, however, Aaron will definitely find her out. He’s almost as badass as Jack.

Almost.

Still undecided on Janis’ mole status.

I’m trying to figure out Red Hot’s issue, though. She seems all upset about Larry, about Jack, about everything. Does she feel responsible that Jack has been exposed? Does she feel badly because Larry’s in love with her but she’s falling for Jack? Curious. She seemed so … damaged. (Don’t worry; I don’t think she’s a mole.)
