Dana's life continues to fall apart, with her colleagues increasingly suspicious of her activities, and Kevin and Nick having no intention of letting her off the hook. Dana nearly sacks up to confess the truth to Cole, but is prevented from doing so by bad timing and her own apparent decision to take Kevin out instead. So Arlo shows Cole surveillance frames of Kevin getting in her face, which they think means Dana's cheating on Cole. Which means even more of CTU's staff is getting distracted by her nonsense.
Hassan's daughter Kayla tries to talk sense into her father, but that only drives him further down his rabbit-hole of paranoia. Hassan's shady security guy secretly agrees to let her see Tarin soon, but I think we all know how that's actually going to turn out.
Kiefer's hour starts out pretty rough, what with having been captured and tortured by Sergei Bazhaev's men. A situation for which Walker blames herself, and Hastings is right there with her. Farhad isn't happy to hear that the delivery of his fuel rods has been delayed, but there's not much he can do about it, and in fact Bazhaev kicks him out, dispatching Josef to return him to his people. Which is probably just as well for Farhad, after Kiefer frees himself to call CTU and run amok in Bazhaev's restaurant. Once in custody, Bazhaev offers to give up the rods in exchange for full immunity for himself and Josef, and President Taylor agrees to the deal. But when Cole and his team show up to capture the rods, they only find the transporters dead and the rods gone. And it looks like Bazhaev's surviving son Josef was behind it, because he's decided to double-cross his dad and sell the rods to Farhad himself. Clearly, he is not aware of the new situation back at HQ.
