TV Review: 24 - Hour 17 - Extreme Customer Service - Page 3

And we wonder, what became of poor Evelyn and her daughter Amy? They are holed up in this motel room. Amy is a little sickened by her mom’s blood and starts to cry in the bathroom. Bad move kid. Evelyn is drawn to her daughter’s distress and limps her way to the bathroom – or almost – as she collapses on the floor. Amy thinks she’s being a good-do-bee and calls 911. Kid, when will you learn? Robocop’s henchmen intercept her 911 call, and of course, they give the info to him, and he heads right over to the motel. Just as the EMTs are tending to Evelyn, they’re shot dead and Robocop enters the room. Scene ends while Amy screams in horror.

Back at Citizen’s Bank, Mr. Good Citizen, Bank Manager Carl, asks a lot of questions. Wayne and Jack finally come clean. Carl does a 180 – and all is okay with the way he and his wife have been treated. He helps Jack and Wayne get the vault open – they find the precious recording that clearly implicates President Logan in all the nastiness. Carl seems to take it all in stride, keeping company with a former (and newly assassinated) President’s brother, hearing that his own president is a real honest-to-goodness bad guy - must be Stockholm syndrome. They’re about to split when they realize that Robocop’s little robots are waiting for them outside the bank. Damn! They get the bright idea to trip the silent alarm. That way the local cops will show up, engage Robo-hostiles in fire and provide a nifty distraction for Jack and Company so they can run away.

At CTU they’ve got some awesome James Bond music going on to accompany the whole ‘searching for Audrey on satellite’ thing. Chloe realizes what’s going on, and makes her way to the servers to disrupt the feed. Miles gets suspicious quickly though, and sprints to the backroom in time to catch Chloe in the act. But our girl Chloe is quick, and by the time Miles is there – she’s gone. He wanders down the halls, and finds her coming out of the Women’s rest room.

    Well, Mary K., the way things are going, more than Audrey's coat is going to get soiled next week. Judging from the previews, Lowguns and Nuts Landing are going to go at it. Can't wait!

    Yeah, I imagine missing the first ten minutes of an episode in this show is a good way to be confused.

    Good movie trivia this week!

    I'm wondering what happened to Evelyn and Amy. Given all his other Evil Actions, I can't imagine Henderson just let them live. It would be far too harsh to show Amy getting shot, so maybe the scream was the clue that Mom and Daugther went to CTU Heaven.

    As for Audrey's coat, hmmm. DaD talks to Logan next week, so he makes it to the retreat. HS is still tailing Audrey, so maybe Miles tries to get her arrested.

    Lowguns and Nuts Landing are going to go at it

    Oh my. This really is CTUback Mountain.

    And btw - what has happened to Snakehead? (Bierko) No mention of him this ep either.

    Yeah, the scenes for next week show Audrey - in the perfect white coat - standing there with gun(s) trained on her.

    Maybe they'll make her dance the Macarena

    Yeah, he and Curtis must still be hiding back in CTU Medical. (Curtis didn't even come out to check his email or something?)

    We haven't seen Mike Novick for a long time, either.

    (and thanks for watching my back...)
