*Spoilers from the latest episode ahead*

While I greatly missed Chloe O'Brian in this episode -- blink and you missed her -- and longed for more screen time for Jack Bauer, there were still moments of amusement in the sixteenth hour to behold:

Quote of note: Chloe's three-week winning streak in this category was broken as she barely appeared in this episode. (I choose to believe that she was busy re-charging her Taser for use in a future hour.) So the quote of note award this week goes to President Wayne Palmer who, in a nod toward irony, said in a cabinet meeting while struggling to remain conscious, "I'm in complete possession of my faculties."

Um, I'm not so sure of that Mr. President.

Moment of tension among CTU staffers: "Look, I know you and I got off on kind of a bad start," Mike "The Brawler" Doyle said to CTU analyst Nadia Yassir, whom he choked when it was believed she was a traitor helping the terrorists.

"A bad start?" she replied. "You assaulted me."

Moment of tension between White House staffers: This has got to go to Tom Lennox (to whom I'll no longer refer as a baked good), who illegally planted a bug in the presidential bunker meeting rooms and confronted power mad Vice President Noah Daniels with a recording of the veep and his advisor concocting a false story to submit to the Supreme Court in order to bounce Palmer II from office. "As I'm sure you're aware sir, conspiracy to commit perjury is a felony offense," Lennox said, prompting Daniels to drop his complaint against Palmer II.

ACLU nightmare moment of the week: This goes to Jackie boy. Even though he served as a special guest star (*again*) during this last hour, what true 24 fan did not applaud when he kicked "bad" terrorist, Abu Fayed, in the chops in the bar after Fayed said he hoped the innocent barfly he'd gunned down died?
