S2·E23 Day 2: 6:00 A.M.-7:00 A.M.

Episode recap

In the early hours of the day, Jack's investigation reaches a critical point. He encounters a roadblock in his lead and is forced to consider alternative methods to obtain evidence against Kingsley. This involves persuading Sherry to cooperate with his efforts.

Meanwhile, at the Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU), concerns arise regarding the absence of Chappelle. Division becomes suspicious of his unexplained absence, which creates tension within the team. This development adds to the already heightened sense of urgency and raises questions about the reliability of CTU's personnel.

In a separate development, Michelle leaves the CTU premises to work alongside Jack. This decision marks a significant shift in her involvement in the operation.

Additionally, Mike and Prescott seek the assistance of President Palmer as the threat posed by the bombers continues to escalate. With the situation becoming increasingly dire, Palmer is asked to provide support in the efforts to prevent further attacks. The President's role in the crisis deepens as the clock ticks closer to the predicted bombing time.
