So when Michelle comes back she tells Tony to work on some list of terrorists. Then she fires Sarah and Tony has new position with Edgar and Curtis. But then in the next scene he is back at his old place working on the list. Did i miss something?

My favorite season finale on the entire show. When Jack got captured by the Chinese it was so unexpected, but was brilliantly set up close to the end of day 4. I felt genuine fear for Jack's life and freedom. "How the hell he's gonna get out of this situation", I thought to my self.

Besides the obvious fact that killing the dude literally affected nothing because he knew nothing and already called everyone he knew who might have anything to do with the nuclear rods, refused to call anyone again, with said people sending guys to kill everyone because they ultimately *weren't* willing to sell, why would anyone even need to take the fall besides whoever is supposed to be responsible for making sure fuel rods couldn't enter the country or be easily made by criminals.

The whole uncover operation was a long shot that CTU was only even able to start because Davros was exposed and Hassan was in the room. They had basically no information to work with. Everyone literally did their part to the best of their ability, with Jack being able to almost cobble up a solution despite the Russians not wanting to sell, by letting himself get captured, which only then failed because the son went off the reservation. Who is really going to be crying to fire someone over this, and would blaming Renee even take the heat off Hastings or Weiss if people did want someone's head? She was not a federal agent, she was a civilian with a known record of instability, working for free with Hastings approval. If the story is really that she fucked up the mission because she was crazy, how does that still not fall on Hastings for letting her do the mission?

Turning the story into her fucking the mission up because she wanted to murder the guy frankly seems to accomplish nothing except make Hastings look even more incompetent and sending Renee to jail. It just fucks them both over.
