Goofs:

Plot holes: Alan Wilson's identity is supposed to be anonymous to Tony Almeda, at least that's what Kara is supposed to think. After Jack's body proves to be viable for harvesting the pathogen, Almeda asks Kara (Wilson's operative and girlfriend) to make the case to "him" (Wilson) for a bigger position in the organization. When she says she's not sure she can convince "him," Almeda asks for her to set up a face-to-face meeting. She balks saying, "He's very protective of his anonymity." Almeda convinces Kara to go to bat for him. In a later scene, Kara is on the phone with Wilson and calls him "Alan" twice, but Almeda is not in the room. After she convinces Wilson to meet Almeda, she hangs up the phone and tells Almeda, "He wants to meet you. ...It's up to you now." Again, Wilson's name is not mentioned. In the scene where Almeda reveals his plan to Jack, the audience learns that Wilson is not anonymous to Almeda, and that Wilson is the target of Almeda's vengeance. After Almeda zips Jack's jacket, Kara enters the room. Almeda nonchalantly asks her if "Wilson" is on his way. Kara never flinches at his question; for an operative of her stature it's impossible that she would miss that slip-up. Therefore, are we to assume that Kara shared Wilson's identity with Almeda while we were gone?

Quotes:

Ethan Kanin: Oh, save it, Olivia! You're not going to talk your way out of the situation. Not this time.

A great ending to a truly phenomenal season

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

Where do I start? After waiting for season 7 to grace our television screens for 20 months, it is gone by already. I enjoyed this season so much and I believe it was one of the greatest seasons 24 has ever had. The plot lines were great, and the acting was outstanding, Kiefer really showed us everything he had this year, Carlos Bernard showed us new acting depths when Tony turned evil, he played it so awesome, Annie Wersching was fantastic(and hot I might add) and I can't wait to see what they do with Renee next season. Cherry Jones really made the female President work. The finale was great going with more drama then action, any scene between Jack and Tony was amazing and has been all year, the scene where Tony confronts Alan Wilson was the best scene of the entire episode. And the end where Kim comes in to save a dying Jack, just great stuff, the only complaint I have is that I have to wait until January for Day 8. I hope this show and it's actors get some recognition at the Emmys this year!!
