Goofs:

Plot holes: When Jack arrives at Palmer's room, he passes the lady that he met at the breakfast (think back 13 episodes) who was a friend from school. Surely one of them would have noticed each other.

Quotes:

[Jack wants David Palmer to fake his own death]
Sherry Palmer: You've got to be kidding.
Jack Bauer: I've never been more serious in my life.

The Real Traitor

On the day of the California Presidential Primary, between 10:00 PM and 11:00 PM, Jack Bauer is contacted by Victor and Andre and they ask him to meet Senator David Palmer to release their assets of US$ 200 millions and then kill Palmer after. Meanwhile Palmer lures Patty, who believes that has seduced him, and fires her. Sherry justifies her actions telling that it would serve to higher purposes. When Jack meets Palmer, he notes that the cell phone is a bomb and saves the senator again. Jack asks Palmer to say to the press that he is dead, trying to buy time and rescue Kim. Kim manages to escape from Drazen and his men jumping in the water. In CTU, the traitor calls Victor and Andre and tells that David Palmer is alive.

In the twentieth third episode of "24", the identity of the real traitor is disclosed and I confess I could never imagine that this agent was dirty, and I was disappointed with this character. The cynicism and Machiavellism of Sherry is impressive, being one of the most amoral characters I have ever seen. On the contrary, the attitudes of Senator David Palmer are awesome. My vote is ten.
