Plot

Kim (Elisha Cuthbert) survives the car crash, wanders the roadside, calling for Teri (Leslie Hope). Teri has amnesia, and she's been picked up by Tanya (Pauley Perrette), who's taking her to the hospital. CTU sets up surveillance in Alexis' (Misha Collins) hotel room, as Nina (Sarah Clarke) preps Elizabeth (Kara Zediker) for her "date." Palmer (Dennis Haysbert) confronts Jack (Kiefer Sutherland) about putting Elizabeth at risk. Jack offers reassurance -- the SWAT team will be right outside the door -- but Palmer says he'll hold Jack responsible if anything goes wrong. Kim gets to a pay phone and calls CTU. She tells Tony (Carlos Bernard) what happened at the safe house, but she won't tell him where she is, and Jack isn't there. Mason (Xander Berkeley) tells Tony he'll tell Jack about the call after the situation with Alexis is resolved. Kim calls Rick (Daniel Bess) and threatens to rat him out if he doesn't help her. Keith (Vicellous Shannon) gives Palmer the tape he made of Carl's threats. Drazen (Zeljko Ivanek) tells Alexis to kill Elizabeth after he gets the information about Palmer's itinerary. Jack gives Elizabeth a small tracking device, and he suggests she surreptitiously put it in Alexis' wallet, after which he'll call her on her cell phone, she can make her excuses and leave. He tells her to say, "I hope I'm not getting a cold" if she feels unsafe, and wants them to come in and arrest Alexis. Teri makes Tanya stop at a familiar restaurant, where the manager recognizes Teri and calls a friend. Kim arrives at Rick's, where not everyone is happy to see her. Just before Alexis arrives, Nina tells Jack that Teri knows about their affair. Elizabeth goes to meet Alexis, and has trouble concealing her true feelings for him. ~ Josh Ralske, All Movie Guide
