The doctors attempt to revive Janet as her blood
pressure crashes in surgery. Jack tells Teri not to
let anyone near Janet because she may be in
real danger. He pulls up to CTU, and hands over
the body in the trunk of the car to Nina. Jack gets
into a waiting helicopter, asking Nina not to let on
that he requisitioned it for personal use. Tony
immediately warns Nina about covering up for
Jack, but she tells him to back off.
Gaines has Rick bury Dan at the compound. Kim
confides in Rick that they should both try to
escape since their lives are in danger.
Palmer summons Carl to the hotel suite, and
inquires whether he not only knew about Keith's
involvement in Lyle Gibson's death, but he
covered it up without Palmer's knowledge. Carl
comes clean about helping Keith, who only struck
back at Gibson in self-defense. He had hidden
the truth to save the election. Palmer claims he
would have gone to the police. Carl notes that
Sherry was the one who sent Keith to him in the
first place.
Kim helps Rick dig the grave. He bares his guilt
to her, admitting that they were only supposed to
hang out with her and Janet. No one was to get
hurt.
Jack arrives at the hospital, warning the security
there to protect Janet. He greets Teri, and begins
to question Alan York. Knowing that York has
been a comfort, Teri is bothered by Jack's
interrogation.
Palmer confronts his wife about her sending
Keith to Carl. The entire family had been keeping
the secret from him to protect the election.
Palmer admonishes Sherry of being too
ambitious. She wants to do anything to keep the
story from coming out because Keith may be
sent to jail.
As they dig, Kimberly and Rick talk about their
mothers. Feeling she has made a bond with him,
Kim urges Rick to help her escape. Gaines takes
Kim to the house.
Nina still has no name attached to the
unidentified body. Jack has her put Jamey on the
case so that it's solved sooner.
Teri apologizes to York for her husband's
behavior. Jack pulls her away, and reveals that
there is a threat on Palmer's life. Janet was
endangered because she was with Kim, who
may have been kidnapped because of Jack's
work. Teri is upset, but Jack assures her that Kim
most likely will not be hurt.
Nina pulls Jamey off decoding the key card to
help forensics on the unidentified body. Jamey is
clearly disappointed that Nina brought in Milo, an
outside contractor, to work on the key card.
With a threat against his campaign and family,
Palmer wakes up his chief of staff, Mike Novick.
Meanwhile, York rushes up to the ICU to speak
to Janet, who is awake. Jack gets a call from
Nina with news that the body has a custom-
fabricated surgical pin in its ankle that can be
traced to an orthopedic surgeon. Nina is hopeful
that she'll soon have a name for the John Doe.
After Palmer explains the situation, Novick gives
him a realistic analysis of its impact on the
election. He advises Palmer to release the story
before the network, and suggests that it be at the
breakfast planned for that morning. Unfortunately
for Palmer, he will need his whole family to
support him in the announcement.
The doctor explains to York that she is optimistic
about Janet's full recovery. York agrees to let
Jack question Janet after he has talked to his
daughter first. Jack and Teri are in the hospital
hallway when his phone rings. He assumes it is
Nina, but it is Gaines, watching from the hospital
security cameras. Gaines tells Jack to not alarm
Teri and walk away. Gaines threatens to kill
Kimberly if he does not obey. Jack listens, and
exits out the corridor.
York is taken into ICU alone to see his daughter.
Janet looks at him and asks who he is. "Where is
my father?" she whispers through shallow
breaths in her oxygen mask. York answers by
pressing his hand down on her mask and
suffocating her. Janet dies.
Still talking to Gaines on the phone, Jack is led to
a waiting car in the hospital parking garage. He
asks whether his daughter is still alive, and
Gaines briefly puts Kim on the phone for proof.
Then Gaines has Jack place a small object in his
ear. With this device working as a transmitter,
Gaines orders Jack to throw his cell phone out
the window, and he has him drive toward the
CTU office. York, meanwhile, tells Teri that the
girls were partying with some boys who got too
aggressive. Janet gave him an address in Bel Air
where Kim may have gone. York lures Teri to his
car so that they can track Kim down. Teri tries
calling Jack, but her husband doesn't pick up his
cell phone.
As she watches Rick bury Dan, Kim assures him
that her father will save them.
Milo tells Jamey that he was able to quickly break
into the key card, and she is somewhat put off.
Nina tells her that, based on the surgical pin, they
have identified the body.
In the car, Teri notices a scratch on York's wrist.
Although he had received it while killing Janet, he
lies about its origin. Nina calls Teri when she can
not reach Jack. They are both confused, because
they each thought the other was with him. Nina
tells Teri to pass a message to Jack: the murder
victim's name he was looking for is Alan York.
Teri is speechless, knowing that the man next to
her is not really York. |
