In order to cover himself, Tony shoots himself in the gut before the FBI arrives. He sticks around while they run the search so he can feed info and escape advice to Galvez, the Starkwood fugitive with the bioweapon canister. Walker is shocked to learn that Moss is dead, least of all because now she's in charge, and when she goes to join the search, Kiefer insists on coming along. Tony's plan for Galvez is to have him lure a bunch of FBI agents into a house and then blow it up. But first Tony has to lie to Kiefer's face about what happened, which goes better than it did in Season Three, at least at first. When the time comes, Walker leads the charge into the building, which Galvez blows up seconds after Kiefer figures out something's up. After that, Kiefer learns that Tony lied to him about his source on the White House attack intel, and confronts him at gunpoint. Tony denies everything, right up until Kiefer has a seizure. And in the meantime, Galvez poses as a wounded agent and escapes the scene, with the canister.
In White House Jail, Hodges expects a visit from his attorney, but instead a lookalike comes to him with a suicide pill. And through her, we meet the first of the shadowy figures behind the alluded-to larger conspiracy. He's played by Will Patton, so you know these aren't lightweights we're dealing with. Hodges swallows the pill while being transferred to the FBI, and it appears to work quickly.
And in less urgent but still mind-blowing news, Spawn's on her way back home. In her taxi to the airport, she talks to her boyfriend on the phone -- who's back home in L.A. with their daughter (!) Teri (!!). Kiefer's a grandpa and he doesn't even know it.
Is 24 too mind-blowing for a newbie to understand? Our vlogger investigates.
