The President lists the aid of his former wife to help deal with Alan Milliken who is using extortion tactics against the country's leader. If the President won't fire his brother, then Milliken will make sure his health care legislation won't pass. Palmer feels "Sherry," who used to be a "shark," can handle Milliken.
Meanwhile, actual good news: Chase is rescued, along with the kid and his old man. Poor dead Claudia is left behind.
Jack is literally trying to smooch his way into convincing Nina that he's now a rogue, but she isn't buying it. Yet, since Jack is physically stronger than her, and has offered her money she can't refuse, she really doesn't have much of a choice but to play along and get this virus package from Michael Amador.
Everyone at CTU knows what's up and they are racing to get at the scene but can't be detected until they know the virus is there to be taken. Chase is going back, volunteering to be an "observer" to make sure it's there, but you know he'll get more involved than that. Meanwhile, at headquarters they are monitoring the whole and know where the deal is going down, thanks to info Jack has passed along to them via a cellphone.
Once again, there are a lot of stories here, but the big one is the debate going on between the Salazar brothers. Ramon and Hector are arguing over the deal, which is just minutes away.
Hector just feels (and he's correct, of course) that something isn't right and we wants to back out. Ramon won't listen as he doesn't want his good name hurt by letting someone else beat him to the virus purchase. Pride wins out in a shocking last-second scene where Ramon settles the brotherly debate on his own terms.
