What we've learned: the President's Chief of Staff may not be a bad guy, after all. At very least, he doesn't know that the bad guys have kidnapped and are trying to kill the First Gentleman...
Deaths: (1) The President's son's (late son's) girlfriend - killed by the Secret Service guy working for the above bad guys. Too bad, I liked her. (2) Emerson, by Jack and Tony, who is not too happy about Emerson's death (they were like "brothers"). In contrast, I'm glad. He was no damned good.
Rapprochement: I'm also glad to see Jack and Renee getting closer again. She survived - Bill and Chloe rescued her, nice touch. And now she's realizing why Jack had to do what he did.
President's cabinet: Especially of interest these days, with Obama's cabinet taking their offices. Regarding President Taylor's - her Secretary of State resigned. No loss. Good to see her hanging tough in a terrible situation.
President: Speaking of which, Allison Taylor has become my favorite President so far on 24. She surpasses even David Palmer, and the others are no contest. She's strong, and sensible, and doesn't ruffle.
Looking forward to next week.

How could you say Taylor is better than Palmer when she's only been around for seven hours? Palmer endured a lot over his 3 "days" and did so admirably. I don't think we'll ever get a better President than him. He was honest, trustworthy and a good man. He had to do these impossible things: order Jack to kill Ryan Chappelle, OK Nina to kill Jack in season 2 to give up the location of the bomb, etc.
Bottom line, is David Palmer is an American hero. Let's see how Allison gets through the day.
I love David Palmer, too - but he was not as strong under extreme pressure as Taylor has so far shown herself to be.
There times when David waited too long, and didn't move quickly enough against the bad advice given by some in his cabinet.
