Having got to Salazar and released the other inmates from their cells Jack still has to get his man out of the prison and that won't be easy with Chase and the guards looking for him and the prisoners going on a murderous rampage. It is the latter group that provides the greatest threat; disguised as guards Jack and Salazar are caught by a group of prisoners and forced to play Russian roulette!
Meanwhile back at CTU they are desperately searching for any sign of Kyle Singer although their attempts are delayed slightly by traitor Gael Ortega. A bigger concern for them is the discovery of heroin in Jack's office; they must determine whether it is affecting his actions.
The presidential debate begins and, just as the president's brother warned, his opponent raises suspicions about his partner; perhaps they should have just paid of her ex after all.
This was a thrilling episode, especially the events within the prison. They were filmed in a way that gave a claustrophobic feeling as there was no way to avoid danger. The 'Russian roulette' scene was tense and it came as quite a shock when the gun fired even if it wasn't a major character pointing at his head at the time. The scenes back at CTU were obviously tamer but no less interesting; the scene where Chloe disclosed to Kim that Jack may have been taking heroin was particularly good and Mary Lynn Rajskub did a fine job portraying Chloe's discomfort at the situation. As the episode came to a conclusion it looked as if the major threat had been thwarted but Jack is still in a dangerous position and I have no doubt that even greater dangers will emerge soon.
