Plot

Ellis (Wade Andrew Williams) is murdered while Jack (Kiefer Sutherland) is on the phone with him. Milo (Eric Balfour) uses Ellis' information to get photographs of the three assassins that are in the country. One of them is Alexis Drazen (Misha Collins). Jack calls the safe house to talk to Teri (Leslie Hope). She admits that she has to talk to him about something, but says it can wait until things settle down. Palmer's (Dennis Haysbert) staff sees the photos of the assassins, and Elizabeth (Kara Zediker) is horrified when she recognizes Alexis. During her debriefing, Kim (Elisha Cuthbert) lies to Nina (Sarah Clarke) about her continuing contact with Rick (Daniel Bess). Palmer tells Jack about Elizabeth, and Jack brings her into CTU for questioning. Teri offers to continue her debriefing with Nina, but when questioned about Kim's veracity, Teri gets testy. Because of the tension between them, Nina decides to let Paulson (Kevin Ramsey) finish the debriefing. Mason (Xander Berkeley) returns to CTU, replacing Alberta. He has qualms about Jack's plans to have Elizabeth keep her date with Alexis. Palmer promises to "be there" for Keith (Vicellous Shannon), but Keith wants his father to tell the police about Ferragamo's murder, and he won't. Myovic (Henri Lubatti) waits outside the safe house, and tells Drazen (Zeljko Ivanek), "The women will be dead soon." Keith slips away from the Secret Service, and goes to meet with Carl (Zach Grenier). Elizabeth agrees to meet with Alexis, and to try to plant a tracking device on him. Myovic makes his move, killing several agents. Paulson helps Teri and Kim get out of the safe house, with Myovic in pursuit. Carl threatens to pin Ferragamo's murder on Keith, who is secretly taping their conversation. ~ Josh Ralske, All Movie Guide
