Previously on 24, Daddy the Pit Bull SecDef got involved to try to help but ended up messing everything up by betraying Jack and trying to get things done his way, in order to save the government. He asked for President Estrogen's resignation, but when Robocop got the recording from Jack, Estro instead asked for Daddy's resignation. Chloe got arrested for helping Audrey and Jack when Miles the Weasel and the Unstable Sexual Harassment Girl teamed up. But Chloe escaped and threatened to recommend Unstable Girl for psych evaluation and told Unstable that Estro's behind everything. Chloe went to Bill's house. SarahK still wanted to know: Where's Rico Suave? Aaron and Marty went to meet behind the stables at the presidential retreat, but all that showed up of Aaron was his cell phone. Robocop cut Audrey's arm and made her bleed all over her pretty white jacket. He should be executed for ruining that jacket. Jack gave up the recording to save Audrey, because he's an idiot who loves needy women.

Jack patches Audrey up and tries to call Chloe, who's not at CTU. Daddy calls one of his henchmen, who is dead, and Jack answers the phone and says, "Hey, Pops. Everyone here's dead except me and Audrey, you betrayed me and ruined everything, and Robocop has the recording. Bravo, Dummo."

Daddy tells Jack about Estro's asking for Daddy's resignation and says he's sorry for being stupid.

Jack calls Bill looking for Chloe. He asks Chloe to hack into CTU for satellite feeds, and she warns him they'll find her if she's on for long. Jack copies that, and we have a great Chloe moment. Chloe to Bill: "I'm gonna have to network onto your computer, even though it's kinda pathetic... I hope you don't mind me bossing you around, but technically, I don't work for you anymore."

Chloe has the satellite from a while ago when Robocop left the airport and is tracking where he went. Jack leaves the airport with Audrey in his stolen police car that the police are apparently not looking for.

Estro calls Robocop to see if Jack's dead and wants to know if Robo destroyed the recording. Robo says, "Nah, I don't want you to suicide me like you suicided Walt Cummings, so I'ma hold on to this, keep it secret, keep it safe... And if anything happens to me, the recording will go public. I don't so much trust you." "But you told me to suicide Walt!" "Yeah, and someone else will tell you to suicide me, and you're evil enough to do it." "That recording protects both of us!" "Mostly you, Estro. Anyway, I'm cautious. Don't accident me either." "Dangit!"

Chloe has found Robocop, who's just ahead of Jack. Jack says, "But yo. He left way before me. How'd I catch up with him already?" Chloe doesn't know. Jack copies that. They catch Robocop and have a little shootout where no one gets shot but Robo runs out of bullets. Jack tells Robo that if he moves he's dead, and Robo tells him about his contingency plan. "I'ma kill your girlfriend's Daddy if you kill me. I have to check in every so often, or the people following him in the helicopter will off him." Copy that.

Jack has Robocop cuff himself and calls Chloe to get patched through to Daddy's cellphone. She patches, Jack copies. Chloe patches Daddy's visual onto Jack's PDA, which Jack copies. Daddy confirms there's a chopper on him and notices the laser sight they've pegged him with. Jack requests the recording very nicely from Robocop, who says no. And here I thought he was gonna give in. Daddy tells Jack not to give Robocop up, tell Audrey I love her even though her pretty jacket has been destroyed. To make sure he doesn't screw things up anymore, he drives his car into the lake a la Big Fat Teddy K, except not drunk, and without killing a girl. The chopper leaves him.

Jack has Chloe confirm that Daddy just drove into the lake, and Chloe says yep. Audrey tells Jack to kill Robocop, and I'm in agreement. Instead, Jack just punches him, because you know, they might need him alive sometime in the never.

Back from commercial, Estro's all worried because Robocop's not going to destroy the recording. "Man, I really wanted to kill that loose end! I mean, wrap up that loose end!" Estro calls someone named Raymond? Reese? to tell him to cancel the action against Robocop. This Raymond must be the head of the oil interests. We'll call Raymond: Halliburton. Halliburton tells Estro that they have a worse problem: Marty. Seems she's been talking to Aaron, who knows too much, and they've taken care of Aaron and are going to silence Marty.

Some henchman is telling Marty that Aaron was transferred at 1 a.m., and no, we didn't know anything about a meeting with you. Marty keeps asking people where Aaron is, and they say she'll need to ask her husband. The agents lock Marty in a room with no phone access, and she appears to have lost both her and Aaron's cell phones, because she's panicked.

Jack tells Chloe that Robocop doesn't have the recording and asks if he handed it off. She reviews the old satellite feed and tells Jack there was a handoff, and the car the recording got into went to Van Nuys airport. The airplane is about to take off. Audrey tells Jack they have to do anything they can to get the recording, because the recording killed her Daddy.

Jack asks the question SarahK's been asking all along: WHERE'S RICO SUAVE?? And Bill tells him Rico's at CTU taking orders from DHS, but he's sure they can trust him. He's 25 miles from Jack with a tac team. Jack wants Audrey and Robocop taken to CTU. Audrey wants Jack to go to the airport now so Daddy hasn't died in vain. Right, 'cause Daddy didn't swim out of that car in the fashion of the Big Fat One. Jack gets Robocop's gun and puts in a fresh magazine before handing it to Audrey. He tells her, "Don't talk to Robocop. Even though you're mad at him about your Daddy, and you are, indeed, a woman. Don't talk to him. But if you have to shoot him, you can." "But I'm a girl! Who am I gonna talk to? And I'm injured! A damsel in distress! I must talk!" Jack tells her to stay off her cell.

Jack tells her he doesn't feel right about it, she says she's gonna be fine, Jack hugs her and says he's sorry, they cry and snuggle, and SarahK says, Yay! Audrey's gonna die! That was so goodbye-forever-ish!

Ok, so now Frank and I are trying to decide who's on the plane, and who exactly has that recording. Because you know it has to be someone significant. We both said Neckid Mandy, but then I said... "Unless it's Tony!" and Frank laughed and I reiterated that Tony's not dead. And Robo's supposedly the one who killed him. Riiiiight.

Weaselgoon tells Mr. F that Bierko's going to be interrogated because he just woke up. He tells Mr. F to tell Estro that the transfer from CTU to DHS is officially complete, two hours ahead of schedule. Mr. F is wondering about Bauer, because she thinks they should have heard something by now. BTW, I'm starting to like Mr. F. She's seeming a little less Mr.

The new blonde chick, whose hair is now red, calls to tell Mr. F that Chloe's gone. Wow, that's some good operations-running there, if she escaped over 20 minutes ago and they're just now figuring it out. They wonder why Unstable Girl didn't stop her, because she had a conversation with Chloe and let her go. Mr. F says that Chloe has to be their focus. Unstable is removed from her chair. Weaselgoon and Mr. F decide that Chloe is probably hacking in to help Bauer. Weasel can track her location.

Mr. F asks Unstable Girl why she let Chloe out. Unstable tells that Chloe threatened her with psych evaluation. Unstable says Chloe thinks Jack is innocent and Estro is involved in the Palmer assassination and is framing Bauer. Mr. F doesn't look surprised, more like uneasy and kinda thinkin' it's true.

Marty is freaking out and yelling to be let out. Estro comes in, and she tells him to arrest the agent outside. And she wants to know where Aaron is. Estro says Aaron is fine and was transferred back to Washington. Maybe Aaron's in the airplane... nah, he's too not evil. Estro tells Marty that he would have told her sooner, but he thought she was fragile. But really, he just kept the secret because it's horrible. He tells her that Palmer's death wasn't supposed to happen, Estro didn't authorize that. That he knows who killed David, because he works for Estro. She freaks out about him being involved in David's murder. Estro tells her to stop asking questions in order to save the country. She spits, "Yes, it's the country that we're worried about." She is spitting at him a lot, and Estro tells her to shut up and swear she'll shut up for the sake of the country. He's very threatening with his recently acquired nads.

She tells him she's forgiven him lots, but not this, because he's broken her heart. She tells him, "Looking at you... I hate you... but I'll shut up because the people in this country don't deserve to suffer. You do." Give that woman an Emmy, would you? Marty walks out.

The sound is off on tonight's episode, btw. Probably because Marty's the only one not whispering. The sound is so low that all the commercials are way too loud, even the HD ones. I hate that. It happens during Celebrity Poker on Bravo too.

The side hog commercial from KFC? Didn't they invent the double mashed potatoes thing years ago? Oh, and the Toyota yaris commercials are retarded. Completely retarded.

The Halliburton council is talking about whether this is gonna all work out. The boss, who's been bossing Estro around, is talking about how strong they were 18 months ago when they started all this. Funny, that's how long it's been since Jack went dead. This boss guy looks like Ron Howard. I would call him the Narrator, but I think it'll be easier to remember to call him Halliburton in the future. Halliburton's praising Estro's good job today and trusting that he'll keep Marty in line.

Robo wakes up and asks Audrey where Jack is. He apologizes about Daddy and says Daddy's honorable. Robo is going on about how Audrey should call and find out whether her dad survived. "Your daddy's drowning, and you're not doing anything." She gets all Chloe on him and gets right up on him with the gun (which is stupid, because he could totally headbutt her). Anyway, she threatens him to not speak another word, and wow, get that girl a blood transfusion, she is quite pale.

Chloe says Robo's chopper guys are on the way to kill Audrey. Audrey wants to kill Robo but doesn't because Jack seems to copy that they need him alive. I say shoot him. She runs off at Jack's urging. Robo tells his guy that she's in the building. Audrey's walking, and someone grabs her from behind. IT'S RICO SUAVE!! There's a shootout, and Rico's guys win. They take Robo in to custody. Yay for Rico Suave!!

Audrey calls Jack and tells him they won. Jack tells Curtis to take Audrey and Robocop into custody. Chloe and Bill are looking for a passenger list to see who is on the plane with the recording. Jack takes out his spy monacle and looks at the plane. He copies nothing and jumps onto the gas tanker to ride over to the plane with his purse around his shoulder. Seriously, he should wear parachute pants so he can dump the purse. Ok, so it's a knapsack, but still. Unless he has paperclips, socks, rubberbands, and a match, it's not MacGuyver-ready, so what good is it.

Unless it's carrying lots of guns and/or ammo. Then I totally approve.

Bill calls Jack to tell him that the plane will take off in less than 10 minutes, and there's 7 minutes left in the show. Chloe still hasn't gotten through state department's firewall.

Interesting. Weasel's able to trace Chloe to Bill's house, which means he's decently competent. A competent weasel! Mr. F calls Mike Novick and asks for clarification on why the switch from the Veep being the boss to Estro being the boss. Mike tells Mr. F that he's not in the loop, because there is no loop, because Estro's keeping to himself and not sharing anything. Mike tells Mr. F that it's been a strange night.

Mr. F types on her computer, then calls Bill and Chloe and tells Bill to get Chloe out of his house now. She believes Estro's bad. Chloe refuses to leave until she's gotten Jack all the help he needs.

Jack watches the plane and takes some baggage to carry to the plane. It looked to me like Neckid Mandy was walking up the stairs into the plane. A diplomat car with dual British flags is driving away after dropping some people off at the plane. Hmm. Jack puts on his magic hood and heads into the cargo belly of the plane and stays there. The cargo door shuts. Beep boop, all that.

Next week. Mike asks Estro if there's something he should know. Mr. F tells Bill, yet again, to get Chloe out of his house now. Jack goes looking on the plane for the recording. Mike asks Marty what's up, and she says, "I can't say, but I'm a girl, so I'll bet if you keep asking, I'll be able to say later!" Chloe tells Jack which passenger he's looking for, but I'm betting it's a decoy, and we're gonna see someone we know on the plane. Jack takes out the air marshal and grabs the guy he thinks he's looking for. The guy says he doesn't know what Jack's talking about. Jack points a gun at the whole plane and tells them to sit down and not get hurt. Copy that.
