Due to some graphic violence, viewer discretion is advised. 24. Blip blip blip. Previouslys. Milliken is dead. Lady Mac lies about her own involvement. Brother Palmer finds out from Lady Milliken that Lady Mac stopped her from giving Milliken medicine that would have saved his life. Amador is in L.A. with the V-I-R-U-S. He hooks up with a man named Michael Alvers. All Richards does is inflict pain. Kiefer kills Nina when she tries to escape from CTU custody. The following takes place between 3:00 AM and 4:00 AM.
CTU. Okay, remember how at the end of last week's episode, there were alarms going off, dead bodies everywhere and general mayhem because Nina escaped? Well, all of a sudden everything is just super calm and quiet. CTU employees are milling about, but like an audience filing slowly out of a movie theater. Bitchelle, who has apparently been sitting at her desk during all of this pandemonium, gets up and walks over to Soul Patch. "What happened?" she asks. "Nina Meyers is dead," says Soul Patch nonchalantly. "How?" asks Bitchelle. "Kiefer shot her," says Soul Patch, adding that Chappelle is on his way to talk to Kiefer about it right now. "Was it justified?" asks Bitchelle. Was it justified? If I worked in that office, I'd be all, "Where's her body? Who has to take it to the dump? Quick! Before she starts to smell!" "Kiefer wouldn't risk this operation just to get vengeance," answers Soul Patch. Bitchelle is skeptical "Are you sure about that?" she asks. Soul Patch doesn't answer. Wow! This is going to hang over Kiefer's head for a long long time.
Back in that room where Nina shot Bride (and which is hereby known as the room where Kiefer shot Nina), Chappelle enters just as Kiefer is handing over his gun to someone from Ballistics (as in, "don't go ballistic and shoot Nina, Kiefer! She's an important witness!"). Spawn is at his side. Chappelle tells the assembled agents to secure the area until forensics gets there, orders the surveillance footage pulled from the security camera, and asks Kiefer to "have a word" with him. Kiefer is all, "Give me a minute," and Chappelle is all, "No, Kiefer. Now!" Aw! It's so adorable the way Chappelle thinks that he runs CTU. And it's so cute the way the other agents go along with it and pretend to follow his orders and stuff. I bet he's got a tin badge and everything! Anyway, Kiefer and Chappelle walk down some corridor so they can talk alone. Chappelle asks him what happened, and Kiefer says that Nina tried to escape, so he shot her in self-defense.
