The way they set up President Logan wearing the wire himself was genius. I am honestly surprised that more shows and movies haven't explored this plot twist. I genuinely wondered if kidnapping Logan was all Jack's plan was, as he seemed desperate.
I found it unlikely that the Chinese government managed to get Jack from the room all the way onto a boat already traveling through the ocean in a matter of minutes very unlikely, but the reveal of the boat was necessary, so I don't think it takes away from the episode. I also question the legal validity of Logan's wire, in that it was enough to remove him from office, but I'm not expert.
I was a huge fan of the dialogue when Jack was interrogating Logan, especially when he compared himself to Lincoln and Kennedy, and compared Jack to Booth and Oswald. Logan was a phenomenal character this season, and I was surprised that a seemingly naive guy like him could pull off something so huge.
Overall, it was definitely one of the strongest episodes of the series so far, and one of the better episodes of television.
