Other than that, though, he seemed like a solid guy.
The death of Ben did provideLegacywith a real didnt see that coming moment.
I mean, Jack wouldnt have even hesitated.
But I didnt expect it to go down like this.
The action begins with Nilaa finally being vindicated.
When Rebecca notifies her that she was set up, Nilaa rightfully gets a little sassy.
She might be free now, but she also realizes that her reputation will never be the same.
While its not much consolation, Rebecca does tell her that John never lost faith.
Yeah, that definitely isnt going to make her feel any better.
CTU is in panic mode trying to track down Carter.
Before the conversation is over, Mullins does his best to convince Carter that he cant listen to Ben.
Hes wrong about me, Ben argues.
you’ve got the option to trust me.
Not a great track record so far, Benny.
Thats a perfect segue to what is surely one of those sleeper cells.
We are changing the world, he says, though she looks pretty unconvinced.
Waiting for them at home is quite the surprise a visit from papa.
As John could attest, thats never a good thing.
Having just escaped death, Isaac is on a war path.
Nicole is nervous, prompting a call to Carter in hopes that her husband will come to get her.
The best he can do is tell her to go to Christines.
Man, for people in witness protection, they have a lot of nearby options.
Nicole is confused; she thought this was all over.
Spoiler alert, Nicole: Its never over in episode 5.
It was you leaving that broke him, he tells her, laying on some super-guilt.
Papa Terrorist is enjoying some of Amiras cooking when he asks his son how work is going.
Papa T slaps his son, demanding answers.
The men tussle, and the younger and more in-shape Khasan scores the expected victory.
Despite their fathers pleas, a conflicted Amira helps her brother tie him up.
As he gives himself a trim, he contemplates the afterlife.
You think you get to see them when you die?
Ben asks his friend.
The people you love.
Oh yeah, we should have known he was a goner.
NEXT: Ben finishes shaving
Time for this weeks segment of Mullins Hates Andy.
The analyst is called into Mullins office, where he learns that hes being benched.
Well, it definitely has something to do with illegally helping Carter get those schematics.
Thankfully, the ride to see Gabriel is just enough time for Ben to get edged up real nice.
Upon walking into the scary-looking warehouse, the duo is confronted by armed men.
You got some balls coming back here, says an intimidating man.
Welp, thats sign No.
2 that Ben hasnt shared the whole story.
But Carter pulls out a glimpse of the schematics, leading the man to bring them to Gabriel.
After being guilted into it, Nicole goes to see Isaac, who is still off his rocker.
This is what being a drug kingpin will do to you, kids.
If you keep going like this, theyre gonna turn on you, she pleads.
Uh oh, thats not what you should say to an already paranoid person.
He freaks out, asking who she has been talking to, and ends up accidentally knocking her over.
Thats the last straw; shes headed to Christines (whoever the heck that is).
Im losing my mind here, he admits.
Now, hes laying guilt on her, too, confirming that hasnt been the same since she left.
Everyone seems to be reminiscing about the past must have been pretty dope times back before she left.
She agrees to stay as they get a little too close for my, and probably Carters, comfort.
Im delighted you decided to drop by, he opens.
Ben says that hes here to make things right.
Yep, Ben definitely did something bad.
Right into your veins, interjects Gabriel, saying what we were all thinking.
In a classic24test, Gabriel gives Carter a gun.
Kill him, he orders.
Then we can talk.
We are, but Carter fails… or actually passes.
As John looks on, his father follows Luis instruction from last week and plays dumb.
This doesnt sit well with John, who rushes in.
You have a chance to make this right, he screams.
Tell her the truth!
But what if she cant handle the truth?!?!
Well, it turns out that Kusuma isnt good at listening, and he went against Jadallas orders.
At least this way, we strike a blow, he shares.
Bad news for Kusuma: Jadalla has gone cold blooded, shooting his right-hand man in the head.
Gabriel has checked out Carters credentials and is satisfied.
A shootout begins as CTU arrives, with Carter having to put a bullet in Gabriels knee.
Lockes entrance distracts Carter, leading Gabriel to slash his own throat.
And the moment Gabriels computer is touched, it starts to wipe itself clean.
Carter rushes to put the dead mans thumbprint on the gear, hopefully salvaging some of the evidence.
What did you think?
Are you happy to see Ben gone?
Is the Amira story line getting more interesting or even more absurd?
