Warning: Spoilers
After the shocking revelation that Nina Myers, the woman who killed Jack's wife, is working for the other buyers there is another surprise when Jack proposes working with her to get the virus; this will be a dangerous proposition; not only will he have to convince her that he is no longer working for CTU he must be able to give her a better offer. The meeting is only possible because Gael has got in touch with Hector again and explained that he was in a meeting for a couple of hours; Gael then feeds Hector the seller's location which he acquired using CTU facilities. While Ramon and Jack are trying to make contact with Nina, Claudia is helping Chase escape in return for him getting her family away from Hector.

Back in the States Wayne is trying to get the president out of the bother with Alan Millikan; he doesn't have much luck though and it is soon clear that Milliken's threats were far from idle as senators he backs start dropping their support for a key piece of the president's legislation. With support dropping away the president decides that he too can play dirty and gets in touch with somebody from his past who is an expert at playing dirty... his ex-wife Sherry!

This was another gripping episode with a good amount of action and some fairly gruelling scenes where Chase's torture continued a even more gruelling when he used a piece of red hot metal to cauterise a wound, James Badge Dale did a fine job in these scenes; it really did look as though he was suffering. As well as good action there are scenes that nicely set things up for later; no doubt things will get interesting with Nina and I'm sure Sherry Palmer's return will make things more interesting on the campaign.
