Day 1, 9:00 a.m.-10:00 a.m. : Having escaped federal custody, Jack follows a new lead that might allow him to find his missing wife and daughter. Back at CTU, Tony and Nina have to deal with the tragic death of Jamey Farrell, the woman who supposedly helped the conspirators organize the attempt on David Palmer's life, and the presence of Alberta Green (Tamara Tunie), who has been sent by Division to run the agency for the rest of the day and apprehend Bauer as soon as possible. As for Palmer, things don't seem to be improving, as Sherry makes a phone call to Carl Webb (Zach Grenier) and asks him to solve the family problem.
The tenth episode of Season 1 is one of the darkest, mostly at the start (CTU's attempt to save Jamey's life) and in the middle (Sherry and Carl having one of the show's trademark conspiratorial conversations), though neither scene gets close to the sheer pain inflicted by the off-screen rape of Teri Bauer in the previous hour. Less is more, someone once said, though that doesn't detract from 24's explicit moments of plotting and killing.
On the other hand, this show also continues the "Jack gone rogue storyline" that began in Ep. 9, giving Kiefer Sutherland plenty of opportunities to bring his character to new, edgier levels. The final shot, where he does his best Arnold Schwarzenegger impression (imagine the Terminator poster with Sutherland instead of Arnie and you've got it), is probably the coolest (visually speaking) moment of the season.
