I think Barry will probably be the one to "make the ultimate sacrifice" that they talked about in the previews for next week. No way they're going to kill off another well-liked character this soon after Edgar.
That's the one thing that makes me love and hate 24, the fact that anything really can happen. In the average show, a goofy shlub like Edgar would NEVER end up dying a horrible death in front of the girl he wanted so badly to like him. I really couldn't believe they ended that episode on such a quiet, sad note.
But, putting that aside, it was a really good couple of episodes. I liked how Rudy turned into a Bond villain when he was telling his sister about his access card: "I need that card. All it does is let me into the front door and gives me full access to all areas of CTU. It would be useful to a Russian terrorist, but why do you need it?"
It was nice to see C. Thomas Howell getting a little work, too, even though he really looks like crap these days. Guess those Outsiders checks dried up a while back.
Kim didn't really add much to the show, but I guess she's gonna be more integral to it in later episodes. Did anyone else notice that she had a couple zits above her chin? She's had about as exciting a life as her Dad, she's gone from high school to babysitting to attacked by a mountain lion to CTU agent to "hitting rock bottom" in the span of, what, 3 or 4 years?
And, I think only Jack Bauer can pull off shooting an innocent woman in the leg and still looking like a hero when the dust settles. I'm always expecting him to go crazy like that whenever he's in a scene, so it's almost cathartic when he actually does it.

And again when Kim came and wanted to apologize and ask 'how she was doing.'
