Nevertheless, Nina bristles at Kiefer's reminder of her behavior last season and does that "Shut up! Shut! Up!" thing that female and/or teenage villains always do before they lose it and make some crucial strategic mistake that is their undoing. Oops. Getting ahead of myself here. Kiefer notices a sharpshooter approaching; the guy can't get a clear shot at Nina. Kiefer decides to go for a walk. Nina tells him to stay where he is, and shoots the ground near him to indicate that she means business. Kiefer reminds her that if she shoots him before Palmer verifies the information about Syed Ali, it is in violation of the terms of her pardon. Uh, okay. That's news to everyone who was watching this pardon being negotiated last week, but hey, whatever. Nina reminds Kiefer that while she might go to jail, he'll be dead. But then, he's going die anyway, right? Kiefer kontinues to walk. Nina starts to follow him, and in doing so, she allows the sharpshooter to get a shot at her hand. She falls. CTU agents rush in and take Nina kaptive. She looks up from the ground angrily. Kiefer watches with a shit-eating grin on his face while they take her away. And yet again we have another seemingly difficult situation resolved at the top of the "hour."
Spawn and Enricky…oh God, who cares? Okay, I'll try again. Spawn and Enricky are led in handcuffs by PolicemanWithSpeakingPart into a waiting car to be taken back to L.A., home of the B-O-M-B. Enricky reminds the OWSP that all three of them will be killed by the B-O-M-B if they go back to L.A. Spawn whines some more about who her father is and how CTU was supposed to pick them up. Like Spawn hasn't learned by now that these CTU pickups never proceed as planned. When they reach the car, Enricky struggles with OWSP and tries to make a break for it. As he does so, a cigarette lighter falls out of OWSP's pockets, and Enricky surreptitiously grabs it. Although how it fell out is beyond my comprehension, since OWSP is stuffed into that uniform like a sausage and to get anything out of those pockets would require a pair of needle-nose pliers and a jar of pig fat. Also, I love how, in order to explain how Enricky would be possession of a cigarette lighter, they have to make it so that Enricky steals it from the officer and doesn't, say, have one himself for the occasional bong hit a clean teen like Enricky would never indulge in. Just say no to pot, kids. Like Enricky. The Teen Twosome is stuffed into an SUV regardless.
