Efficiency? Heck, the guy must have been prescient. He didn’t just have to get to the hospital, somehow obtain a doctor’s uniform and ID tag, and hack the computer to find the location of the target, all in less than an hour. He also had to somehow know that he would be able to access and alter the video/audio feed from above the guy’s room, and do it so well that someone watching the feed in real time wouldn’t even notice. And lucky for him the perfect scapegoat, Jack, happened to be in the room at the time! Even for 24, that was really pushing it.

Overall, it was a disappointing episode, except for Bill Buchanan’s Last Stand, which was pretty cool. (Although he might have had at least a chance of survival had he fired that gun around the corner instead of doing it right in the doorway.) I was also glad they didn’t kill off Agent Pierce. Yet. I’m guessing the vague Martha-Logan-is-probably-dead dialogue was put in to set up a future Bill-like heroic sacrifice.

Aaron has her stashed in a Hollywood bungalow living on Scotch and frozen pizza rolls, I’ll warrant. 🙂

Does the name “Frequently Naked Lesbian Terror Chick” ring any bells?

One would think so, but sadly, no.

Mandy did quite a lot of terroristing and lesbianating before becoming a full-time lesbianator on “The L Word”.

Most notable she…

Blew up the airliner in the first season’s opening episode  
Hit President Palmer with a Poisoned Handshake of Death  
(a couple other things I can’t remember)  
And when she was close to being captured she took down Tony and ALMOST got Jack

Is she the one who killed Jack’s Wife during an escape? Jack killed her, did he not?

In response to carnivorousplant’s spoilered question:

That was Nina Myers.

You probably want to read the [wiki](http://24.wikia.com/wiki/Mandy).

Thank you. Most of that seems familiar, yet somehow not. ??
