The president's impatient brother is his new chief of staff; a more mature Kim Bauer (Elisha Cuthbert) is a new CTU techie who has a strangely testy co-worker; and lone ranger Jack is now paired with an edgy new partner, Chase . Jack had spent the last year infiltrating Salazar's drug ring in order to bring down the terrorists associated with it. Annicon is insistent that they not sweeten the deal. Salazar calls out to Jack from the two-way mirror.
