Tonight 24 returns to its normal once-a-week, one-hour regular episode schedule (woe is us!). After four hours, 15 terrorists done away with, two girlfriends, the detection of a new mole, and Jack’s return to vigilante/CTU agent status, the next hour should set the stage for the rest of the season — trying to stop the release of a chemical weapon attack.

In case you have missed a few episodes here and there (shame on you), catch up with Paul Beston’s insightful analysis of the show, from our July/August issue.
