The ID of the Body in the Trunk

On the day of the California Presidential Primary, between 5:00 AM and 6:00 AM, Jack Bauer asks for security in the hospital for Janet, who is recovering from a cardiac arrest in the surgery, since he believes her life is in danger. Kim helps Rick to bury Dean. Carl tells David Palmer that he had covered up what Keith did with Gibson and Sherry knew. He finds that Nicole also knew that Keith killed Gibson, and feeling that he is losing more than the election, he goes to the campaign adviser of the party Mike Novick and tells him the truth. Mike tells David to disclose the truth to the press early in the morning before Maureen Kingsley since the electors could forgive him. Jack goes to the hospital, tells the truth to Teri and explains that the wall he had built between his work and his family was falling apart. Ira Gaines calls Jack and forces him to leave the hospital. Meanwhile Alan, who actually works for Gaines, kills Janet and lures Teri, driving her to a distant location to meet Kim. Teri receives a phone call from Nina telling the ID of the body found in the trunk of Penticoff's car.

In the sixth episode of "24", David Palmer discloses the dramatic secret of his family and is completely disappointed. Jack's sixth sense about Alan York is amazing, and Teri now knows that Kim was kidnapped. Jack seems to be in the hands of Gaines and now Teri is also in trouble with the revelation of Nina about the ID of the body found in the trunk of the car by Jack, in one of the best and most surprising twists of a series. My vote is nine.
