Take it away, Dan!
Its worth it from beginning to end.
The point is, Im not just saying it cause Im in it.
And in Episode 107?
Im in it A LOT!
Heres what happened this week:Its the aftermath of the bridge explosion.
CTU is eerily quiet and subdued.
Mullins is feeling the impact.
Mariana is seeing terrorism up close for the first time.
Mullins shows a soft side, reassuring Mariana well get through it together.
But John cant find out.
Hows that conversation supposed to go?
Rebecca assures Mullins she knows just the right guy.
Mullins wants to know who?Yep, its TONY ALMEIDA.
The mans a criminal.
Henry Donovan is released from CTU.
In the garage, Andy shuts off his car alarm.
But then it goes off again.
As he gets closer, a figure grabs him from behind, pulling him into the shadows.
What ever happened to a good, old-fashioned tap on the shoulder?
Eric asks Andy if hell help Jadalla fix the flash drive but really erase it.
Andy thinks of a virus, but theyll know as soon as the files are erased.
So how do they get out alive?
Its a suicide play.
To save thousands of people…Andys just lost his boyfriend and his clearance at CTU.
He needs a little pick-me-up…and nothing like a suicide mission to make you feel like a hero.
Andy gets his equipment: ready for the mission.
(Hell see, just wait!!)
Plus theres this cool blue-lit disk that looks like an Airwick Stick Up air freshener.
The man HAS been sweating under interrogation.
Meanwhile, Isaac and Nicole are tied to a pipe.
He admits she made the right choice in picking his brother.
Hes afraid they wont live through the day.
it’s possible for you to see his love for her, again like if youre gifted with sight.
Thugs come and beat him and take Nicole.
Jadalla asks her to tend to his wounds.
Sheisa nurse, though clearly not the bedpan kind because she sure knows how to suture.
Andy sits in Carters truck trying to write the virus when Locke shows up with a gun.
He knew something was up when Andy left midday with his bag.
They explain the plan.
Locke and Carter get into a pretty intense hand-to-hand kerfuffle.
Andy grabs a gun and yells, Freeze.
And ladies and gentlemen, THAT is as badass as hes ever been.
Locke knows he wont pull the trigger.
But it gives Carter time to tie up Locke so Andy can go back to writing the virus.
Rebecca shows up in the warehouse where theyve got Henry.
She and Almeida plan the strategy while his hench woman SIDRA figures out about Tony and Rebeccas romantic past.
Shes less than thrilled.
Tony starts interrogating Henr, who continues to deny the claims.
They threaten to inject him with a drug thatll hurt like hell.
Id start talking as soon as I saw her break out the black rubber gloves!
Andy and Carter tie up Locke.
Andy keeps working on the virus.
Jadalla lets Eric speak with Nicole but Jadalla threatens to kill them.
Meanwhile, Locke begs Andy not to go through with it.
I almost lost it when Locke (Bailey Chase) said, I dont want to lose you.
Isaac gets thrown into a van with Nicole.
Hes been kicked around pretty hard.
But Isaac is tough: You know my grandma used to hit harder than them.
Rebecca finally calls her husband so she can tell him the truth.
Andy pops pills…theyre probably Tums.
Oh no, theyre Ativan.
He used to take one a day with his coffee.
Should never have stopped.
I should try that, actually.
Whered he get that?
Came in a cookie with his eggrolls.
Carter and Andy arrive in a junkyard where they meet Jadallas men.
Andy just concentrates on not pooping his pants before Jadalla arrives.
Isaac, in fear of dying, decides to confess his love for Nicole one final time.
Carter flies into action, holding his gun on Andy.
If Jadallas men dont lower their guns, hell blow Andy the man they need most to oblivion.
Andy is very surprised.
And by surprised I mean poops the above-mentioned pants and regrets not having taken a second Ativan.
Jadallas guys lower their guns and they release Nicole and Isaac from the van.
Nicole breaks into a run and lands in Carters arms.
Carter demands they get in his truck and drive to CTU.
Nicole doesnt want to leave without her husband, but you cant always get what you want.
It dawns on her that Eric might not make it out alive.
She cries out for him as she and Isaac pile into the truck and drive away.
Andy looks far from pleased being escorted into the back of Jadallas van.
They did, ultimately.
But Andy has no such luck.
Hes got to go through with it.
Umm, can you say best cliffhanger ever?
Its a miracle we got a usable take.
I think Im overacting in that scene a little bit because I was trying so hard not to laugh.
I found this meme of Gerald McRaney (Henry Donovan) on Twitter posing as the new Grumpy Cat.
Probably throwing up his Ativan.
But apparently audiences have a higher tolerance for heightened interrogation tactics than a vomiting computer analyst.
Here, we were about to shoot, waiting for the sunset (Golden Hour).
to make it make the schedule, we had to get from one set to the next very quickly.
Trying to be helpful, I insisted on using my Waze app to get us there.
I was just trying to help.
No good deed goes unpunished.
Maybe actors need to act and leave the driving to the drivers.
Once we finally arrived, it wasnt hard to play frantic.
