Take it away, Dan!
Hulu, Fox Now… its available, people.
The show takes place over the course of ONE day.
But of course, now its in the hands of the terrorists.
Rebecca has discovered the surveillance photo of campaign manager Nilaa was a fake.
Nilaa WASNT the leak after all.
The scene was played beautifully by Miranda Otto and Sheila Vand.
Nilaa may be cleared, but her reputation potentially ruined.
(It was around this time we got a whole new hair/make-up team.
Check out hair inconsistencies.
I notice these things.
Im gay, remember?)
Henry Donovan is taken away to CTU in handcuffs.
He admitted to John he was responsible for leaking the names of the Rangers.
Donovan cant believe what hes hearing through the two-way mirror.
He busts into the room and freaks out at his dad.
Cause thats what CTU analysts do!
We download and upload schematics.
(What does that mean?
I had to…) Grimes shaves his beard in the car.
He seems like hes sitting on a bunch of secrets.
But, its24… so, who isnt?
Jadalla and his team of thugs have discovered the flash drive is corrupt.
Jadalla wants it fixed before ANY of the cells are activated or terrorist acts triggered.
He wants all 15 cells activated at once.
But its clear some of his thugs have other ideas.
Amira and her brother, Khasan, are planning their attack.
Their dad surprises them with a visit.
Khasan doesnt trust him.
Which is okay, because his dad doesnt trust his son either.
He knows his kids are up to something and wants them to come home.
Khasan wont have it.
He beats up his own dad and ties him up.
Amira helps until he admits hes diabetic and needs food.
Thats when we see the chinks in her armor.
Isaac and Nicole return to his drug-dealing crib.
Isaac is REALLY stressed out and wants his gang to cough up any info about Aisha two-timing him.
And,finally, Mullins has it out with Andy.
HeknowsAndy leaked the Onyx weapons schematics to Carter but cant prove it.
Regardless, Andy is benched.
No more CTU clearance.
Its back to filing and monitoring servers.
No more access to schematics or subroutines.
Rebecca knows she probably got Andy in trouble and calls to reassure him.
But I mean, have you MET Andy, Rebecca?
Hes impervious to reassurance.
This call between Rebecca and Andy was shotmonthsafter we wrapped on 105.
It was part of a whole list of reshoots to help solidify interpersonal relationships among the characters.
Gabriel asks Carter to prove himself by shooting Grimes as punishment.
Carter refuses, PROVING what hes really made of.
Gabriels men shoot Grimes anyway.
Carter knocks out two of the thugs and grabs a gun to train on Gabriel.
He wants to know where Jadalla is, but Gabriel says he has no idea.
Carter calls CTU and directs them to come get Gabriel and his men.
Gabriel kills himself before anyone can catch him, and Carter makes off with his computer.
WHAT YOU COULDNT POSSIBLY KNOW:(Because you werent there.
Painful for all of us, as we all got very close, very quickly.
So when we read of Ben Grimes demise (Im a poet!
), we threw Charlie Hofheimer a surprise party.
We all hid in Ashley Thomas apartment and tricked Charlie into coming upstairs to help with an audition.
Ashley came to the door with a towel around his waist the old just in the shower trick.
And when Charlie entered, we all jumped out!
As if he hadnt been surprised and startled enough during that week.
But he really appreciated it.
I kept calling him Director Melons.
Finally, we got through a take.
I mean, come on!
That smell of GARLIC oozing out of his mouth and pores?!
So we rode our bikes to Ponce City Market and bought candles for the apartment.
