We open seeing Jack checking through wreckage of the fiery bombed out van. Milo and Marilyn are running through the alleys and streets with Phillip’s henchmen close behind. They hide behind some dumpsters, but the bad guys know they are there. Milo tries to outshoot them, and tells Marilyn to flee, but she can’t. Goons close in on them and grab Marilyn. Milo gets shot twice, but Jack shows up in time to stop the baddie before he kills Milo.
This season, we are again reminded of Jack’s medical diagnostic skills. A quick glance at Milo’s right arm and he pronounces him fit as a fiddle. Actually something like, “The bullet went through…no arterial bleeding, you’ll be OK. Oh, and that Right Guard you’ve been using has gone wrong. Ya might want to switch to Arrid XX.” He then “quizzes” Marilyn about how she tipped off Gredenko’s men. Jack really seems to favor grabbing women by the throat and slamming them against the wall. Finally she comes clean about the whole ‘call me Susan thing.’
At CTU Chloe checks on Morris’s progress with the vectors (Gosh, the vectors – we have missed them, glad they are back again this season!). Anyway, it seems like Morris is still feeling sorry for himself. Chloe tells him that he should see a CTU shrink, or call his sponsor. Wait, his what? That can only mean one thing, either Morris is an alcoholic, or he’s about to scarf down everything on the craft table. OK, not that overeating is fantastic, but overdrinking – or even just plain drinking could be quite wrong for Morris at this point. Oh, boy.
He tells Chloe he just needs to go for a walk. That walk brings him to a little store where he buys butts, Red Bull ------- and whiskey (And Altoids, we all know that they dispel any nasty alcohol in your system, right?). He downs nearly the whole pint and immediately makes himself puke. Chloe calls him, and he’s just about in tears. He says he’ll be right back. He’s cool when he sees Milo though, commending him on his field actions. Maybe he’s being too nice; Milo asks him if he’s OK.

As always, nicely done, MK. I wonder about Logan. I mean, Jack brought him down, so he might be out for revenge. He cannot be trusted, but then I'm sure Jack knows that.
