Jack goes rogue and meets with Number 7 of the Coral Snakes. This guy is obscene military. He takes Kate with him and has to decide whether to turn her over to the bad guy. Meanwhile, President Palmer's inner circle is appearing more and more insubordinate, including the Vice President an his Chief of Staff. Honestly, I don't know what the hurry is here. Anyway, his conflict is the word of Jack Bauer. The second plot is a hostage situation where Kim Bauer gets embroiled in a situation with a guy who breaks into a convenience store and kills the owner.

Enter the Vice President
MaxBorg8922 June 2008
The last batch pf 24 - Day 2 begins now, the last eight episodes of the season being devoted to figuring out who came up with the whole nuclear bomb conspiracy. Needless to say, no one will rest until the mess has been cleared up.
Beginning-wise, it couldn't get better: Jack had to knock Tony unconscious so he could smuggle Kate Warner out of CTU. Why? He received a phone call from a Coral Snake member who needs Kate to leave the country. In return, he will give Jack a chip that proves the infamous Cyprus recording is a forgery. Because of this, President Palmer is postponing the retaliatory strike in the Middle East as much as he can, a decision that doesn't sit that well with the Vice President, the conservative Jim Prescott (Alan Dale).
While the episode is, as usual, dominated by the thriller part (even in the Kim section, as she gets caught up in a convenience store robbery), some juicy personal stuff is thrown in as well, Jack's rogue actions putting a strain on whatever is shaping up between Tony and Michelle. Of course, any regular romance would have been boring, right?
And once again 24 confirms its talent in picking recurring guest stars: a well-known face on American television (The O.C. and Ugly Betty most notably), Dale, though always cast as a manipulative politician or businessman, gets past the stereotype stage and portrays Prescott as a flesh-and-blood character (having starred for years in an Australian soap opera probably helps him avoid the wrong kind of acting). Bravo.
