Detailed complete episode spoiler, from the 24
Insider:
"David
Palmer arrives at the White House and he meets with Vice-President
Logan. The Vice-President is unable to fulfill
the duties of his Presidency and he needs Palmer to covertly assume
control of the Government. Nobody will ever know Palmer
is acting as a shadow President and Palmer knows his country
needs him because Logan is a mess. President Palmer is briefed
on Marwan's current status and the status of the country.
At CTU, Bill Buchanan is briefed on Palmer's role.
Meanwhile, Audrey goes to the CTU clinic and speaks
with Paul Raines. Paul is in bad shape and Audrey
becomes very attached to him. Audrey tells Paul that she will go
back to Washington D.C. with him where Paul will get the best medical
treatment. Audrey says she will get an apartment so she can be with
him and Audrey and Paul seem to be growing closer
and closer almost as if she wants to forget Jack and start all over
with Paul. Meanwhile, Chloe accesses the hard-drive from
Sabir's home. She finds an e-mail sent from a Chinese national
named Lee Jong. The e-mail is tracked to the Chinese
Consulate in Los Angeles and Jack and Curtis are dispatched
to the Consulate. Meanwhile at CTU, Jen Slater
calls and tries to speak with Tony. Michelle answers the
phone and speaks with Jen. I don’t have anything on Michelle
and Jen’s conversation or Tony and Jen’s conversation
but I know that Tony is supposed to act uncomfortable because Michelle
is near-bye and Michelle will eventually ask Tony if he is in love
with Jen and Tony tells Michelle that he doesn’t love
Jen. Meanwhile, Palmer decides to call the Consulate even
though it's a little after 2:00 in the morning. Palmer speaks
with the Consul-General and tries to have him release Jong.
The Consul-General tells Palmer that the process will take hours
and Palmer knows he can't wait that long. Palmer speaks with Jack
and gives him the go-ahead for a covert operation at the Chinese
Consulate. Palmer tells Jack that major diplomatic problems will
occur if this mission is failed and Jack fully understands what
he must do.
Jack speaks with Tony and asks for the layout
of the Consulate. This mission is pure black ops so Tony
sneaks off behind all of CTU's back so he can run point
for the operation. Tony watches in real-time as
Jack infiltrates the Consulate. Jack shoots a couple
of guards with non-lethal darts and Tony guides Jack through the
consulate and into Lee Jong's room. Jack enters Jong's room and
knocks him out and makes his way out of the building
with Jong. The Consulate guards realize the compound has been breached
and they close in on Jack. Curtis and another agent enter
and there is a gunfight. In the chaos the Consul-General
is shot and killed, this presents a massive Diplomatic
situation. Jack's problems are only getting started because Jong
was shot during the shootout and he will die unless Jack
can get him medical attention. Jack and Curtis move Jong to the
CTU van as the Consulate guards shoot at them. In the van, Jack
speaks with Jong through an interpreter and asks him about
his connection to Marwan. Jong doesn't deny knowing Marwan and he
makes a series of demands. Jack calls Palmer and notifies him of
Jong's demands and Palmer gives his consent. Jong agrees
to provide information on Marwan's operation if CTU can
save his life and keep him safe. This will be difficult because
Jong is bleeding internally and he will die in minutes unless the
CTU medical staff can save him.
Meanwhile at CTU, Marwan's tape from the
nightclub is played. The tape is damaged but Edgar is able to salvage
some footage. Marwan reveals that a strike will occur
in a few hours on the East Coast and he proclaims that America will
awaken to a new world. Meanwhile, Buchanan finds out
that Tony was covertly running point for Jack's operation at the
Consulate and he gets pissed. Meanwhile, someone
from the Chinese Consulate calls Palmer and the
man confronts Palmer about his possible involvement. The man promises
a full investigation and Palmer gets a little worried about the
possible blowback but he plays it cool and goes on leading the country.
At the CTU clinic, Paul takes a turn for the worst
and he is bleeding internally. The Doctor comes in and starts to
help Paul but then Jack arrives with the dying Jong.
The Doctor says he can't work on both of the men and he tells Jack
that Paul will die unless he receives immediate help. Jack takes
his gun out and orders the Doctor to save Jong's life. Audrey
screams as she sees Jack's dark-side. The Doctor starts
to work on Jong and then suddenly Paul flat-lines. Jack and Curtis
try to resuscitate him but it's to late, Paul is dead."

into one of his stickiest fixes yet when he discovers a Chinese

refuge inside the Chinese consulate thinking nobody will touch him,

catastrophe' (Surnow), breaking into the consulate,
at which time the counsel-general is killed. 'And--boy!--is somebody
going to have to answer to that one,' Surnow says."

"Jack... must make an incredibly difficult
decision when Paul and a vital witness ('someone
who can avert a horrific attack on the US.' Surnow) are both in
need of medical attention and only one surgeon is available.
Guess who wins? What we will tell you is Raver describes the plot
twist as 'one of the more shocking scenes we've ever done.' After
that, Jack and Audrey's relationship 'ends up in turmoil
and their future is in doubt' ...something they'll struggle with
for the rest of the season."
