**FAQ Bauer (aka Thread Rules)**  
_1) What can be discussed in plain text, unboxed?_  
A: Any events in episodes, once aired on the east coast – as well as any speculation based on these already-aired events.

_2) What should I confine to spoiler boxes?_  
A: Any discussion of upcoming shows that contains information from sources outside the aired material, or any speculation based on such things. This includes the “Next week on 24” previews, which some people choose not to watch.

_3) What was the best quip from last week’s thread?_  
A: “If she is dead, she will have no choice.” - **carnivorousplant**

Previously on 24:

- Jack finds Tony and beats him up for a bit. Jack also stops the last bio-cannister threat in the nick of time, neatly wrapping up plot #4 this season.

- Kim makes friends at the airport with a nice couple who wants to kill her. Thus begins Plot #5, setting up tonight’s season finale.

- Jack is being given instructions over the phone: Break Tony free, or Kim dies. Presumably the effects of the bio-goop will make Jack forget that he knows how to use a pen and paper, and that the bad chick can only hear him, but not see him. Or maybe the writers got exposed to the bio-agent, too…

Two hour Season Finale tonight – don’t forget that it starts at 8:00 EST, an hour earlier than usual. Will Jack find some stem cells? Will Kim be saved by the cougar? Will Chloe and Janis finish the 24-hour period in a free-for-all cat fight / mud wrestling match? Find out tonight!
