But the big question,,,,where is the next nuke going? They are going to get a drone in the air I bet. Then move with the others.

I also think that Jack’s hostage is still alive. He did call for medical attention and specifically said that he was not a hostile, so they actually appeared to call the medic immediately.

“These cliffhangers are killing me.”

Sort of like a “who shot JR” every Monday at 9:57 EDT instead of once a season.

Mark,

Stab me in the neck so we fool them all. Not sure about that one. In other films the staged attack usually only injured an arm or leg, except for of course the movie “Scream” had the bad guys stabbing each other in the stomach.

I think Martha’s attack was out of a genuine animosity towards a person who she beleives is absolutely evil.

Assuming Charles does survive, he will use the attack in his favor. He may either blackmale or play upon the sympathies of Martha to bring her back into his life.

Another option could be to use that attack to win his freedom, not sure how, maybe blame CTU for not protecting him.

Regardless, I will be tuned in next week - Same Bat-Time Same Bat-Channel.

These cliffhangers are killing me.

Thoughts after second viewing: Why do TV characters always jiggle the phone hook when they lose a connection? It’s been at least 40 years since you could get the operator that way.

Aaron’s lost weight

But I’ve decided Nadia isn’t a mole. I think.

Daniels is in on the assassination plot. Feel it in my bones.

And how is he really going to sell that Assad brought in the bomb? He was in CTU custody for crying out loud, is Daniels trying to convice folks they let him come into the WH with a bomb? Okay, they’re hopeless at keeping moles out, but surely they’re not that incompetent.

Ronin, Yes, but my point was that Martha is in cahoots with Logan for some future nefarious purpose. I’m forwarding the opinion that the knifing was staged from the get-go.

Now it may turn out that Martha is using him from another angle that he’s not aware of, but either way I’m certain that next hour will have a black SUV swooping down upon the ambulance (that stopped so both EMTs could work on him) and wisking Logan away…

The flat line sound just as the episode ended was just too perfect, and I agree that Logan lives. Hopefully Martha (or maybe Chloe) will get another crack at “rehabilitating” him…

I also agree with you, I’m thinking that if Martha and Aaron were doing the horizontal bop, she’d have made more of it to Charles just to rub it in his face…We’ll just have to wait to see how things pan out…

[...] Rick has the full recap over at the Right Wing Nut House. I do have to respectfully disagree with his berating of “little” Ricky Schroeder. Come on Rick, give the poor guy a break, former child actors have got to pay the bills too. I think Schroeder has been more than serviceable in roles ranging from Lonesome Dove to Pool Hall Junkies. Plus he’s been man enough to buck the Hollywood norm and be his own man…an admitted conservative. That alone no doubt limits his roles!! [...]

I’d like to get the name of Martha’s loony bin so that I can spend my next vacation there. Considering the number of wine glasses hanging from the cabinet in the kitchen, alcohol consumption must be a recommended component of treatment. And the visitors are so relaxed that on the day a nuke goes off they manage to get in a game of tennis! That’s my kind of institution!

“also that his wound is superficial” - The stab wound is possibly superficial but appeared not to be. The knife’s blade appeard 3 inches long and entered the body behind the clavical bone in a downward motion. In the area wounded there is an artery and vein, just beyond the jugular, that go into the arm and are potentially fatal in not treated right away.

Per one of my paramedics here at work, That artery is protected by the clavical and may have not been hit. He also stated that if it were hit is should have sprayed if exposed or quickly turned the clothes red if covered as blood pumped through the hole made in the garments worn by logan.

Fatal or not, I don’t know, but definately not superficial.
