⁣It is revealed that Naseri was Ibrahim's mole in Carter's team during the mission, and that Naseri used the cover to reach a high-value intelligence asset, whom he killed along with his family. Naseri contacts Stephen Grant, CTU head of security, demanding that he comply with Naseri's plan to free Jadalla by threatening to detonate an explosive vest attached to Jennifer Marshall, Grant's girlfriend. Not knowing about the romance, CTU tracks Marshall's house by Naseri's cell phone call. Eric's team arrives at the house and kills Naseri's female operative. Meanwhile, John decides to suspend his campaign, to Henry's objections. Grant disables the cameras and allows Naseri's team access to CTU, where John arrives in order to talk to Ingram. Eric manages to detach the bomb for a safe explosion. Marshall tells CTU about Grant, who has already freed Jadalla. Naseri's team kills Grant and secures Jadalla, encountering John on the way and abducting him too. Naseri tells Jadalla that he is working for someone else. They fight their way through an MPD roadblock and escape. Also, Mullins reinstates Shalowitz. Elsewhere, Isaac manages to bring Nicole home to her house where, while cleaning the place up, she finds some paperwork involving Eric's application to CTU.
