geebsTV commentary:
24- Woah, a lot of stuff happens this episode! So Jack captures Navarro, but not before he passes the device to Cross. They eventually suss out Navarro framed Kate's husband, and its revealed that he had actually killed himself a month into his incarceration. Kate blames herself, because she didn't believe he wasn't really a traitor. So, needless to say, she's pretty pissed.
But they use it, they make it look like she's lost control, and that she's going to kill him. She tells Jack he's waiting his time, that Navarro is playing him, so he should just let her kill him. That gets Navarro to talk, to prove he's not lying. So they learn he put a tracker on the device and get the frequency. So now that they have what they want, Kate happily tells Navarro that since he has nothing to bargain for immunity now, he's getting executed.
So, they go after the device. Only there are two big complications. Mark, having got in a tiff with Audrey, gives Jack up to the Russians, giving them the transponder frequency for the CIA phone he's using so they can find him in the field and get him. Mark finds out too late that Jack's going into the field to retrieve the device, and that the Russians going after him might screw that up.
Second- we learn the true history of the device. Cross developed it, for the Chinese, only he double-crossed them in some misguided attempt to open the arsenals of the world, thinking if everyone can access everyone else's military networks it will prevent future conflicts. But Yates stole it, modified it for the drones and we know what happened after that. But it turns out, he wasn't actually working for the Chinese, he's working for Cheng. And Cheng is kinda pissed and wants the device.
He kills the poor geek squad, and Chloe (who is basically Adrian's hostage at this point) and Adrian walk into their HQ to find their tortured, shot up bodies. Then Cheng shows up, demanding the device. But since Yates modified it to work only on US drones, he needs them to bring it back to its original programming. He knows Cross isn't good enough to do it, so Cheng shoots Cross to motivate her to fix it.
So she works on it, secretly trying to plant a virus. Only Cheng knew she would do that, and he was having her screen mirrored, and just needed her to get into the system so his own hacker could do his thing. Oh, and before Cheng kills Adrian, Adrian reveals that Morris and her son weren't killed by some nefarious conspiracy. It was just a tragic accident- but he needed her to think something more was going on to keep her working with him. He says he would've told her eventually, but since they're about to die, she needs to know the truth. And then Cheng executes him.
But yeah, Jack and Kate get ambushed by the Russians on the way there (and without backup, because Jack kept them back so as to not alert Adrian), and thus are unable to stop Cheng from using the device to send a fake message to an American sub to sink a Chinese aircraft carrier. Which Chloe helplessly watches. So, yeah, that's probably going to bad for the US.
