Well, we’re 6 hours in, and Jack has already burst into the President’s office and started beating up cabinet members. (Well, just one, but it still counts). Walt got in a little punching bag practice (he was the bag), and he barely managed to keep his eye. But something tells me Jack’s not done with him yet. After all, Walt’s bones are still all intact and he has no bullet holes in any extremities. Meanwhile, President Logan is soooooooo not getting laid tonight. Tune in, or else!!! * * * _24_, Season 5, Episode 7 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM SPOILERS AHEAD!

It still hasn’t occurred to Jack to check Walt’s cell phone. Perhaps “the puppetmaster” will call while Jack is in the room. “riiiiinnggg” Jack: “Who is it, Walt?” Walt: “I don’t know!” Jack: “And I just put my knife away. Walt…Walt…Walt…whatever am I to do with you?” ---
