Jack Bauer is back at CTU and is informed that President Taylor has gone missing, presumably taken captive by Logan's mercenary team. Jack contacts former CTU agent Renee Walker, who is now working with the FBI, to aid him in tracking down Taylor. They receive a lead on the location of the mercenaries and Jack decides to go in alone.
Meanwhile, Logan attempts to strike a deal with Taylor's chief of staff, Ethan Kanin, in exchange for helping him cover up his involvement in the Russian conspiracy. However, Kanin refuses and attempts to flee the scene, only to be shot by one of Logan's men.
Back at CTU, Chloe O'Brian works to decrypt a message sent to Jack by Taylor before her disappearance. She discovers that the message contains evidence of Logan's involvement in the conspiracy and notifies Jack and Renee.
As Jack closes in on the location of the mercenaries, he is ambushed and captured. He is taken to a warehouse where he is tortured for information on Taylor's whereabouts. However, Jack manages to escape and finally locates Taylor, who is being held in a nearby building.
With the help of Renee and a team of FBI agents, Jack stages a daring rescue mission to free Taylor and take down Logan and his men. The mission is successful, but not without its casualties.
In the aftermath, Taylor is faced with the difficult decision of whether or not to expose Logan's involvement in the conspiracy to the public. Jack provides her with evidence of Logan's crimes, but warns her of the consequences that may come with revealing such information.
In the final moments of the episode, Taylor delivers a press conference where she announces her decision and the fate of those involved in the conspiracy. The episode ends with Jack reflecting on his actions and the toll they have taken on him throughout the day.
