24- Okay, I'll admit, they surprised me! I mean, there was a slim chance Heller's death was a fake out, but I wasn't sure how they could do it. But pretty clever, that while Chloe was trying to track the Al-Harazis or stop the drone or whatever, she was actually creating a vid loop to make it look like Heller was at the stadium.
But cool, the gang manages to track Cat Stark and foil their plans, and Jack does a double defenestration! First, pulling her son out the window when he rappels off the roof. Then after he resolves the problem and has her captured, he just throws her out the window to her death. Its like, what the shit, and I get she's a terrorist, and the CIA folks are prolly all pissed at her anyways after killing some of their comrades earlier in the day, but they're just cool with him basically executing her? I mean, he didn't even untie her, so its not like he can make up some excuse about her trying to escape or something!
Of course, that was just the first half hour. Turns out Jordan is dead-dead. But Kate's cop friend is in charge of the crime scene and so informs her and Erik. They're obviously sad and upset, but mostly incredibly confused. They manage to get a fingerprint to Jack, and he says he'll check with his own CIA contact (which, isn't he technically still a fugitive, Heller hasn't officially pardoned him yet). Navarro is of course all, "Oh, no, we can handle it!", freaking out since the dead assassin can be directly traced to him.
So, he contacts Adrian Cross, wanting help to flee. He'll do it, for the device. Which we find out is ultra dangerous, because not only can it hack into drones, it can hack into much more of the military stuff. Heh, unfortunately, Jack had gotten called out of the room so Audrey could be all lovey-dovey with him (which is sure to piss of Mark and cause him to sic the Russians on Jack), and so when his contact is on the other line and tells him Navarro was the guy's ex-handler its too late. He absconds with the device. And I know he's supposed to be all hardcore loner, but its like, couldn't he tell the security guard, "hey, that guy is a traitor and is trying to steal a dangerous piece of tech" instead of just decking him?!
Fosters- Oh, heh, I totally forgot Sophia (Callie's heretofore unknown half sister played by Bailee Madison) and Jesus played the same character on WoWP. So, Callie meets Jack Mcphee, but thinks he's just this nice guy. She's kinda angry at her birth father though, since he's been ducking her, and even though she claims he just wants him to sign the papers so she can be with the Fosters, she was kinda interested to see him during the DNA test. Which he doesn't attend. And so she googles him and is livid when she finds out its Jack Mcphee.
He at least apologizes and says he'll sign the papers, but also gives her a letter to read. Eventually she does, and finds out its from her half-sister, who is actually excited to meet her.
Poor Jude though. Connor's dad sees Jude being too familiar with him, and thus bans his son from sleeping over anymore. Also, Jude is also kinda sad that Connor is prolly straight- I mean, the stuff with that one girl made it seem like he was. But then Connor was all, "Oh, my dad just doesn't want me to stay over because he thinks you're gay. But I know you're not!" Which, really?
Brandon wants the surgery, but Stef is obviously scared for him, so she and Mike shut that down. Of course, Lena is mad, because once again, Stef's making decisions about Brandon without her, even though she's his mother now too. But looks like he's getting a love interest. The cousin of an old classmate of his, who are in a band. They butt heads a little, but it inspires him to try playing the piano again. And so he's going to try seeing if he can still play without the surgery first.
Also, Stef questions Mike about the night he was drunk. At first, he thinks its because she's trying to make some play for Brandon, but then he realizes she's quizzing about Ana. He tells her not to worry, because he's pretty sure he didn't kill her, and the blood is from some jerk who was harassing a waitress who's nose he broke. She's placated at that point. But then she finds out the police found a body near the halfway house, which might be Ana.
As for the twins, Mariana doesn't get much to do, and Jesus gets into a fight with Emma when he calls her too bossy.
