I liked that Chloe stood up to Adrian and chose Jack. I also like the fact that the guy Jack was working with stood up for Chloe. I also thought if Jack doesn't chose her in the end he has ruined Chloe's life again. She won't be able to go back to that group as I doubt that story line is done. I want another Adrian and Jack scene. You can tell Adrian is jealous over the influence jack has over her. I listened to the pod cast and that's the consensus.I also thought maybe Chloe is undercover for the government and her leaking information is just a cover for her to infiltrate the group. What if she knows Adrian releasing information is what lead to her family's death and she is working to take them down. Thoughts? I know that is unlikely but I am trying to think of the twist we know is coming.

As for the Audrey scene we knew it was coming. Clearly there will be more, but I honestly am confident that they won't get together. For two reasons. 1. There relationship only lasted four months and she dumped him. They have not even seen each other in like 10 years based upon this story. I see their relationship as this brief passionate thing that they are both romanticizing. Neither got closure and they feel like star crossed lovers. So I think there is a lot of emotion there, but not something that would last. I honestly don't buy that he really loves her in anyway that is real. 2. She is the Presidents daughter and married. That would be a lot of hurdles and ridiculous for them to overcome in the next few episodes. I still was like come on when I saw the scene. Shut up Audrey. Even non shippers hate Audrey.I did like how tender and sweet he was just wish he was like that w/ Chloe.

I still maintain that at the end Jack and Chloe will go off into exile together. I've heard that they are not sure if they will do another one so it will be left open. Like I said I still think they have known since season 3 that they would be together, but not until the very end. I think the actors know sort of but are told to say the opposite, because its not currently apart of the plot line. Also it allows for more stories and doesn't disrupt the formula. I'd really like to know someone elses opinion on this. I would like Jack to at least show more emotion where Chloe is concerned. I want a scene where she is threatened/hurt and is hand is finally forced.

What do you think?

I am not as optimistic as you are. Especially after just now watching a Kim Raver/Tate Donovan interview on 24 Spoilers. Every time she is asked in an interview if Jack and Audrey get back together, she makes it sound like they will. Her most recent comment? "We're working on it!" I really don't understand how she can be so forthcoming about what's gonna happen between them. Not a friggin' peep from MLR about her storyline outcome. Almost...almost makes me wonder if she's full of shit and is saying all this to throw people off. But I've never been that lucky. Not when it comes to chlack. Are we the longest suffering ship around, or what? Like thanks, 24, for coming back just to stab us in the heart one final time. Just when you think all Jack's women are out of the picture, an old flame gets brought back. I don't see how they could even sell chlack to the average fan at this point. That whole reunion scene between Jack and Audrey was gold. Audrey would have to turn evil to even give chlack an opening and you know that ain't gonna happen.

And it pisses me off how their reunion was so emotional and Jack and Chloe's wasn't. I'm sick of these writers and the way they seem to think Chloe isn't good enough for Jack. Yeah, I've heard all kinds of theories as to why they might not be putting them together, but the only theory I buy is my own, which is that they are assholes.

I'm in a really bad place with this. What's your take?
