Sherry Palmer tells President David Palmer than she believes in his presidency, vowing to find out as much about this terrorist plot as she can. She goes to see Kevin Kelly whose daughter was killed by Peter Kingsley to cover up financial deals he had with known terrorists. Sherry goes back to his trailer to find blood on the wall. She is then tasered and brought before Alexander Trepkos, who tells Sherry that she will soon work for Max.
At the Counter Terrorist Unit, Adam tells Kim that the baby she's taking care of is not Chloe's. Kim confronts Chloe with this, and raises concern to Tony about Chloe being unstable. He says that they need to keep Chloe in place.
Max retrieves the virus, and Nina Myers points a gun at Jack Bauer. Delta Teams move in.
Jack kills Ramon Salazar but the briefcase containing the virus is empty.
Jack reports back to CTU that they do not have the virus and asks about Max. Max is cornered by Delta 3, but they are ambushed and he escapes. Jack tells Chase that they need to find Nina.
1:00 A.M. - 2:00 A.M.
1:00 A.M.
Jack and Chase roam the woods, searching for Nina. Chase radios Jack when he sees a light. He goes to check it out and finds a dead delta team member. Nina comes upon Chase and takes his weapon. She orders Chase to radio Jack a code six, and he obliges. Suddenly, Nina is cold cocked by Jack. He makes Chase go to the airfield so that he can "interrogate" her. Nina claims that she can help him find Max in Los Angeles.
1:05 A.M.
Although Jack looks like he is about to kill Nina, he instead calls CTU to tell Tony that he has captured her alive. Jack thinks she must know something.
1:06 A.M.
Tony tells Chloe that Chappelle wants to see her. He then phones Kim to let her know that her father and Chase are returning to Los Angeles with Nina.
1:07 A.M.
Chloe comes into Chappelle's office, refusing to speak about the baby. He accuses her of violating agency rules, and he threatens to perform a blood test to find out who the baby really is. Chloe still won't reveal what is going on, so Chappelle places her under guard while they run tests on the child.
1:08 A.M.
Wayne lets Palmer know that Max escaped in Mexico with the virus. It is unclear what his motivation is for bringing it back to Los Angeles.
1:09 A.M.
Sherry refuses to work for Max. Trepkos offers her money but Sherry shakes her head. "Then I have no choice..." Trepkos says menacingly. He then has his men beat Sherry up.
1:10 A.M.
Jack arrives at the Las Nieves airfield with Nina. Chase is a bit surprised to see Nina still alive. Jack knows that Max is already out of Mexico, so they board a Navy plane headed for Los Angeles.
1:11 A.M.
Aboard his own private jet, Max phones a man named Marcus Alvers. He tells Alvers to be ready because he has the virus.
--Commercial Break--
1:16 A.M.
One of Trepkos's men dabs a knife in acid and then stabs Sherry in the stomach. She screams out in pain. Trepkos calmly watches. The man repeatedly stabs Sherry in different parts of her stomach. He then goes for a gun, but Sherry hollers out that she is willing to listen to Trepkos's proposal.
1:19 A.M.
Jack asks the restrained Nina what she knows. She says that Max always deals with a man named Alvers when it involves business on the west coast. However, she has no idea who he is or how Max contacts him. Jack asks Tony to run a check on the name.
1:20 A.M.
Chase is cold towards Jack, and he accuses him of not trusting him with the secret mission. Jack explains that when he pulled the trigger on Chase, he was taking a chance that Salazar would not give him a loaded gun. Thankfully, that proved true. Those kinds of choices are always a factor in the field. Now they must keep their focus on stopping the virus. Chase backs down, and wonders whether Nina really does knows more. Jack wants to wait to see if Alvers is a real lead.
1:21 A.M.
Gael finds a connection between Max and a man named Marcus Alvers. He was once suspected of manufacturing weapons-grade Anthrax but was not convicted. Alvers has also been seen with Max numerous times over the last few years. Tony assigns Michelle to hook Gael up with manpower from Division to trace Alvers.
1:22 A.M.
Tony calls Jack with news on Alvers. Now they have to find him. Nina decides to admit to Jack that she knows more, and that she can help him find Alvers before he meets with Max. She wants Jack's word that he will help her case with the Department of Justice. He agrees. Nina gives up a Felco prefix number that, when dialed, gives an internet socket where Alvers can be reached. After Jack follows her direction, nothing happens. With a slight smile, Nina tells Jack to wait.
1:24 A.M.
At CTU, everyone's system locks up. All the computers go down. Tony warns the group that there is a self-propagating code leaking into their database. Back on the plane, Nina informs Jack that his dialing actually triggered a worm that will bring down agency connectivity. "Until I say otherwise, your entire anti-terrorist computer network is jammed," Nina says calmly.
--Commercial Break--
1:29 A.M.
Jack gives Tony the heads-up that Nina embedded a worm into CTU's system when she worked there. They don't know what Nina wants in return to stop it. Jack suggests they assign Chloe to the task of saving the network, but Tony explains that Chloe has been asked to step aside.
1:30 A.M.
Nina tells Jack that she wants the plane to return to Mexico. Once it turns around, she'll slow down the spread of the worm. When she's safe in Mexico, she will give him the final kill code to end it. Jack knows that if the CTU computers go down, undercover agents around the world will be exposed. Nina warns him that they can't solve the worm internally.
1:31 A.M.
Tony appeals to Chappelle for allowing Chloe to work on the worm. Chappelle begrudgingly agrees, and lets her go from custody. With Adam and Gael's help, Chloe gets to work on the system.
1:32 A.M.
Trepkos explains to Sherry that the goal three years ago was not just to cause a war in the Middle East to quadruple their oil revenues in the Caspian Sea, but to destabilize the entire region as well as the world. Eventually, the United States and other countries would be on the brink of total collapse, and the oil companies and defense contractors run by Trepkos and the others in this cabal would step in and assume total control. But a major obstacle to their plan is President Palmer. He would never surrender the U.S. to them, and so they’ve been trying to kill him or remove him from office ever since he announced his campaign. Trepkos reminds Sherry that she sought to bring down her ex-husband’s presidency three years ago. Sherry counters that she was instrumental to restoring Palmer back to power. But Trepkos knows that Sherry really only did that to save herself. And yet it didn’t pay off. She was still branded a traitor and sentenced to life in prison. The only “mercy” Palmer showed was not executing her. Trepkos believes that Palmer selfishly only used her for his own ends and then threw her to the wolves. “What a great man,” Trepkos scoffs. Sherry shifts uneasily.
--Commercial Break--
1:41 A.M.
Chloe hurriedly leads the group in de-worming the system. She is upset, however, that Adam and Kim stabbed her in the back by going to their bosses. Chloe says she went out on a limb in order to protect her friend's baby. "What friend?" Adam asks. Before Chloe can answer, her monitor beeps, signaling that the worm is now speeding up. Chloe tries another tactic.
1:42 A.M.
Trepkos offers Sherry millions of dollars if she decides to rejoin their efforts. Sherry says that she never supported the detonation of a nuclear bomb in Los Angeles. Trepkos apologizes for deceiving her, but calls Sherry a very smart woman and that she knows that the deaths of millions of Americans would deeply humiliate Palmer and destroy his presidency. She wanted this three years ago, and Trepkos suspects she still does, especially after Palmer betrayed her and sent her to prison. Sherry says nothing. Trepkos soothes that Sherry has always been single-minded in her approach, and what she needs to be focused on is taking down Palmer. “Nothing else,” Trepkos says. But Sherry still balks at Trepkos’s invitation.
1:44 A.M.
With Jack out of earshot, Chase tells Nina that Jack will kill her if she tries to play him. Jack brings over a laptop and shows Nina that the worm is now spreading faster. It will bring down the whole CTU network in a few minutes. If she wants any leverage, she will have to stop it. Over Jack's phone, Nina gives Chloe instructions. This slows the worm down for another 20 minutes, but does not stop it completely. Nina warns Jack to turn the plane around or the worm will finish its task. Jack insists that they are going to land in Los Angeles and that she will help him find Max.
1:46 A.M.
Trepkos explains to Sherry that he would never betray a longtime business partner as Palmer did to her, twice. He reminds Sherry that in one single stroke, Palmer flushed down decades of their enduring and loving relationship. And then, after Sherry single-handedly saved his presidency, Palmer threw her away once again, without a second thought. Palmer owes Sherry his life, and he treated her like an old pair of shoes. And just like three years ago, she now has a prime opportunity for revenge. “You single-handedly put David Palmer in the White House,” Trepkos says. “You should be the one to remove him.” Sherry thinks and then tells Trepkos that she will join him.
--Commercial Break--
1:52 A.M.
Trepkos equips Sherry with a gun and explains that she will be going on a mission to ensure that she is loyal to Max. If she can fulfill the requirements of this mission, she will be ready to carry out a more important -- and dangerous -- assignment. Sherry bitterly tells Trepkos that ever since Palmer left her on the day of the California presidential primary and especially after he sent her to prison, she has wanted to get back at him. She assures Trepkos that she is loyal and will do whatever they ask.
1:54 A.M.
Chloe works frantically to stop the worm, but it is unsuccessful. Tony calls Jack to tell him that they will need to go back to Mexico to get Nina's assistance in preventing this worm from bringing down the CTU system. Jack turns to Nina for more help, but she remains silent. Chase wonders if they should just give in to her demands. The plane begins to rise, and the pilot lets Jack know that he got orders from Tony to return to Mexico.
1:56 A.M.
Jack points his gun at the pilot to make him land the plane in L.A. Tony sees the plane's descent and radios the cockpit. He tells Jack that he is ordering the plane to turn around so that they can get the kill code. As Tony and Jack argue, Chloe makes some headway into defeating the worm. She succeeds, and Tony lets Jack know that they are back to being fully functional.
1:57 A.M.
Jack goes to Nina smiling. She doesn't believe him when he says that the CTU system is working. But as the plane lands, Nina sees from Jack's relieved expression that this is true.
1:58 A.M.
Chappelle commends Chloe on her work. Yet he says that she is still going to be handed over to the police. Chloe is alarmed when she sees the baby being taken by Child Protective Services. She agrees to tell Chappelle who the father of the baby is.
1:59 A.M.
Chappelle releases Chloe after he gets his information. Kim comes up to her and asks what happened. Chloe says that since she told Chappelle the truth, there won't be any charges pressed. Kim asks who the father is. Chloe answers that it is Chase.
