First off, I have to say that Adam over at The Jack Sack summed up Monday’s episode perfectly, in this video.
I’ll wait here while you watch …
hahahahaha. OK, that was the 24 blog equivalent of a RickRoll, except that it’s totally worth watching.
So what happened?
Jack was exposed, but the level of exposure seems unclear to me. It doesn’t seem he can infect anyone else, as he’s running around in the FBI hq and no one’s running screaming from him, so that’s a good sign, no?
Larry Moss, however, should have allowed Jack to go along with them – even an impaired Jack is worth at least a half-dozen regular, unimpaired agents.
Speaking of the raid, what a freakin’ disaster that was. Tony got pwnd by Mr. Smarmy Suit Guy, who tricked him into believing he was breaking from Hodges. So, all bureaucratic-like, the FBI used a warrant that specifically detailed the exact wrong area of the Starkwood compound and knew that the FBI would be too law-abiding to push through the Starkwood mercernary force.
Dude, Tony, you didn’t used to be so easy to manipulate.
As for Olivia, I’m still not sure if she’s the mole. Her reaction to the news about Starkwood seemed … curious. But 24′s producers have thrown us red herrings like that before. If she is a mole, however, Aaron will definitely find her out. He’s almost as badass as Jack.
Almost.
Still undecided on Janis’ mole status.
I’m trying to figure out Red Hot’s issue, though. She seems all upset about Larry, about Jack, about everything. Does she feel responsible that Jack has been exposed? Does she feel badly because Larry’s in love with her but she’s falling for Jack? Curious. She seemed so … damaged. (Don’t worry; I don’t think she’s a mole.)

Maybe it’s the after effects of all these years of watching 24, but I don’t trust Tony one freakin’ bit, but I love him very much… this makes me crazy. In a most awesome way.
Amy, did you notice a major mistake in episode 16?
In the text of the immunity agreement President Taylor signed for Greg Seaton, toward the end, the following text appears:
“I have hereunto, set my hand this SECOND DAY OF NOVEMBER, in the year of our Lord and of the Independence of The United States of America, two hundred and thirty-first.”
The 231st year of America’s independence, 1776+231=2007. That means, this document is signed ON November 2, 2007.
This really is a big mistake, considering the timeline of the series. Supposedly, season 7 takes place in 2013. This document would prove otherwise.
Season 7 is supposed to take place 3 or 4 months after Redemption, but that is impossible, since President Taylor was sworn in during Redemption, in January.
Here is a link to a screen capture:

@Erika – it’s hard to ever trust anyone except for Jack, Aaron and Chloe. Absolutely, positively, anyone else can be a mole, even Tony, which I know is totally sacriligious to say.
@JustABill – That is an amazing continuity error; I bet they weren’t even thinking of it being visible to insane fans like us when they wrote it. lol
Hehehehe, “RickRolled?” Dude, it wasn’t meant to be that obscenely silly.
@Adam – I thought you’d like that.
