Note: Full spoilers for the episode follow.
It’s been a relatively quiet few hours for 24 since the rollicking premiere episodes. Tense standoffs and high-stakes decisions have been made, sure, but we haven’t had the pure adrenaline shot for little while. Tonight hits that spot hard, as agendas collide in an hour that’s alternately suspenseful and flat-out exciting.
In a surprise to absolutely no viewer anywhere, Heller puts Jack back into action, approving his plan to go undercover with a particularly intimidating arms dealer. But of course Boudreau has to have his man-to-man talk with Jack, who awesomely reminds him that he’s almost certainly a dead man so why bother? The writers and Tate Donovan have done a wonderful job in making Boudreau a fully realized character, a slime ball who can’t seem to get out of his own way, and he’s just one example of how this season has laid the groundwork with new players that’s beginning to pay off.
