A ROGUE JACK BAUER REMAINS RESOLUTE IN HIS VENDETTA ON AN ALL-NEW “24″ MONDAY, MAY 10, ON FOX

Michael Madsen, Gregory Itzin and Jennifer Westfeldt Guest-Star

With only four hours left, a rogue Jack Bauer stops at nothing to determine who is behind the day’s most devastating events, and he uncovers an unexpected lead in the all-new “Day 8: 12:00 PM-1:00 PM” episode of 24 airing Monday, May 10 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (TWF-821) (TV-14 L, V)

Cast: Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer; Mary Lynn Rajskub as Chloe O’Brian; Cherry Jones as Allison Taylor; Mykelti Williamson as Brian Hastings; Chris Diamantopoulos as Rob Weiss; Katee Sackhoff as Dana Walsh; Freddie Prinze Jr. as Cole Ortiz; John Boyd as Arlo Glass

Guest Cast: Gregory Itzin as Charles Logan; Jennifer Westfeldt as Meredith Reed; Necar Zadegan as Dalia Hassan; Joel Bissonnette as Pavel; Thomas Ryan as Gary Klausner; Sarah Hollis as Susan; Reed Diamond as Jason Pillar; Michael Madsen as Jim Ricker; Julie Claire as Eden Linley; Navid Negahban as Jamot; Graham McTavish as Mikhail Novakovich; Joe Sabatino as Captain Walleki

The return of Meredith Reed is interesting, and it seems like she will be the “unexpected lead” that Jack uncovers. Madsen is back after an absence from episode 20, and that pesky Pavel (Renee’s killer) is back again.

JACK SEEKS JUSTICE AND VENGANCE LIKE NEVER BEFORE AFTER THE SHOCKING DEATH OF AGENT RENEE WALKER ON AN ALL-NEW “24” MONDAY, MAY 3, ON FOX

With only five hours left, the clock races toward the climactic series finale as Jack stops at absolutely nothing to avenge the emotional setback of losing his beloved partner Renee Walker. Meanwhile, the administration attempts to keep the historic and pivotal peace agreement on track as undermining forces surface in the all-new “Day 8: 11:00 AM-12:00 PM” episode of 24 airing Monday, May 3 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (TWF-820) (TV-14 L, V)

Cast: Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer; Mary Lynn Rajskub as Chloe O’Brian; Cherry Jones as Allison Taylor; Mykelti Williamson as Brian Hastings; Chris Diamantopoulos as Rob Weiss; Katee Sackhoff as Dana Walsh; Freddie Prinze Jr. as Cole Ortiz; John Boyd as Arlo Glass

Guest Cast: Gregory Itzin as Charles Logan; Frank John Hughes as Tim Woods; Necar Zadegan as Dalia Hassan; Nazneen Contractor as Kayla Hassan; Joel Bissonnette as Pavel; James Hiroyuki Liao as Devon Rosenthal; Sarah Hollis as Presidential Aide; Reed Diamond as Jason Pillar; D.B. Sweeney as Mark Bledsoe; Navid Negahban as Jamot; Graham McTavish as Mikhail Novakovich

Pavel (the sniper who killed Renee) is listed in the guest cast section – kill that dude, Jack! Michael Madsen is weirdly absent (at least in the press release). Also make sure to check out these set pictures from episode 19/20 to see a Jack Bauer/Dana faceoff that happens in these episodes.

Here’s the synopsis for the final episodes of the season as part of a larger FOX press release detailing their May schedule.

24 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) – “11:00 AM-12:00 PM”
In its eighth and final season, the clock on the Emmy Award-winning series ticks toward its final five hours as Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) sets out to avenge the unthinkable events of this tragic day.

24 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) – “12:00 PM-1:00 PM”
With only four hours left, Jack stops at nothing to determine who is behind the day’s most devastating event and uncovers an unexpected lead.

24 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) – “1:00 PM-2:00 PM”
As Jack’s final day nears a close, he endures intense international forces at play. Meanwhile, former President Logan (guest star Gregory Itzin) becomes increasingly involved.

24 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) – “2:00 PM-4:00 PM” – Series Finale
It’s the end of an era when the groundbreaking and iconic action-packed series comes full circle with the climactic two-hour series finale of “Day Eight.” Emotions run high as the harrowing day climaxes with resolute President Taylor (Cherry Jones) closing in on a world-changing objective and Jack forced to take matters into his own hands for one last and unforgettable job. Additionally, Eriq La Salle guest-stars.

They’re sort of vague for the most part, but I find it interesting how Jack uncovers an “unexpected lead” in episode 21 and then with episode 22 Logan becomes “increasingly involved” – can you say villain?
