A Shocking Twist Changes the Course of the Mission
Summary
– President Heller’s apparent death was a deception, tricking Margot Al-Harazi into believing she succeeded
– Jack Bauer and Chloe O’Brian uncover the truth, realizing the drone footage was manipulated
– With one drone still active, Jack rushes to stop Margot before she can launch another attack
Margot Al-Harazi thought she had achieved her goal—executing President James Heller in a devastating drone strike. She believed she had avenged her husband’s death, watching as Heller stood in Wembley Stadium just as the missile struck. But in a shocking twist, it’s revealed that the entire event was a deception, orchestrated to fool her into thinking her mission was complete.
As Margot and her son Ian prepare to destroy the remaining drones, Ian notices something strange in the footage—Heller’s subtle movements don’t align with real-time reactions. Upon further analysis, the truth is revealed: the video was looped. Chloe O’Brian confirms that the feed was hacked and Margot had been tricked. President Heller is still alive.
Jack Bauer, realizing they have limited time before Margot launches her final drone strike, scrambles to track her location. As Chloe works to trace the override device, Jack tells Heller that he had to take the chance to save him despite the president’s willingness to sacrifice himself. Heller insists he should have taken the hit, but Jack remains focused on the mission—Margot still has one drone left, and it’s capable of killing thousands.
While the deception buys them some time, Margot quickly regains control of the last drone and redirects it back toward London. Jack knows he must move fast, heading into East London to find Margot before she can unleash further destruction.
