Change in Plans….
So, I was all ready to start writing a post about the kill count when I realized something: I think this is one of the few episodes where someone wasn’t killed (at least on screen). Sure, the first husband and his son’s ex have one foot in the death pool, but they’re not there yet and anything can happen on this show. The Mutobo’s guard seemed like he was about to hop in the pool as well until the FBI called and they moved one to more important matters.
So, why not go on a mole hunt instead? I never really bothered with Brian and any other agents in the SS on this show. I figure if the kid’s agent was dirty, there’s every chance other ones are too. (What’s up with all the moles in there and in the FBI/CTU anyway? Haven’t they heard of little things called background checks?) So, let’s look at people not in the SS….
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say someone in the AG’s office is dirty. Otherwise, it seems a bit odd for them to be so wrapped up in Renee’s breech of protocol at a time like this. Seems like that case would go on the backburner. Especially when the agent in question having been captured.
Sean is still not winning any points with me and seems to be kinda half-assing his job right now. Although, I will say I think his mistress may be involved in the conspiracy as well.
I still wonder about the President’s CoS and SoS. They seem to be looking for any excuse possible to stop the whole Sangala invasion.
Renee is either dirty or the most hard-core chick out there. She showed not one bit of fear and was practically daring Jack. If she’s not dirty, I kinda adore her.
And now… my (other) totally out there, crazy pick:President Taylor. Yes, I’m calling her out too! Ms. President seems a bit too into her Sangala invasion. It wouldn’t kill em to postpone the mission for a bit, would it? At least until the CIP device is found and/or the thing is made useless in about 6 days. See, Taylor? It’s not that hard. Why all the whining and speechifying?
So, what do you all think? Am I off? Am I right? Post your own guesses below.

I’ve changed my mind on Renee and now think she is clean. I don’t think they would have ordered her killed if she was involved. The President is an interesting choice, though I doubt it since her own son was killed by these people. I do think Sean is involved but I don’t think he is the highest level mole. The SOS I don’t think would have been as openly defiant if he was the mole, so I am still left with thinking the COS is the main mole.

I agree. Renee was always a more “crazy, out there” pick for me. I still think she moved too fast into Jack territory, but that can probably be blamed on bad or lazy writing.

I agree that Renee moved very quickly into “Jack territory”. That might be explained that we really don’t know her complete back story. Maybe she’s a frustrated career woman who has gotten tired of the lesser people getting promoted over her. It’s already been established that she has a lot of Jack in her when it comes to doing what needs to be done and maybe she only needed that little push to put her over the edge.
