I'm all done! Now it's just a matter of submitting all of them! So here's my drawing from episode 8, which at the time was so beautifully written that I ranked it one of my top 10 favorite episodes of 24! But then a week later when I found out Heller didn't actually die, it lost it's quality! Still a great episode, and I guess it was a great way to make us all think he died so the surprise that he wasn't was even greater, but I just felt like, "Why put us through all those emotions and have such a great episode with so much closure to Heller, just to have him still alive?" I believe most, if not all, of the 24 fans agreed in saying that this was one of the best episodes, and now I don't think that can be said just b/c, knowing he's not dead takes away the sadness that the episode produces! Oh well! The next episode kicks ass b/c it's about Jack Bauer winning left and right! Then episode 10 is so great that I would say it's one of the best! And I'm sure the final episode will not disappoint, no matter how nervous I am about it!

So episode 7 left off with Heller calling up Margot, via video call. He then tells Jack what he's planning to do, and Jack defiantly declines his request for his help! Jack says that they can still find Margot in time, while sounding slightly doubtful. Heller tells Jack he has Alzheimer's, then after Jack says this isn't just about him, Heller yells at Jack saying he knows it's not. That it's about the thousands of lives at stake. He then says that f Jack were in his position, he'd give himself up too. Jack finally agrees to help him sneak out of the building but says they need one more person's help to be able to get past secret service and get through the Wembley Stadium gates (the location Margot chose) Once Heller convinces Mark Boudreau (Audrey's new, terrible hubby) to go along with the plan, he calls a staff meeting to clear the halls, and gives Jack the secret service detail for the next 30 minutes, plus the gate code to Wembley. Before they leave, Heller has one last conversation with Audrey, yet she has no idea it's their last. Jack and Heller manage to make it outside after encountering (and knocking out) only one agent. It's about 6:20 PM at that point, and the clouds over London cast a gloomy mood, the perfect weather for such a tragic journey. After flying by helicopter to the stadium, they arrive at their destination. Then Audrey and Mark have quite a big moment in their relationship once she reads her father's letter (earlier then she was supposed to) saying goodbye to her. She finds out Mark helped him, and they have a tearful argument. Then Jack and Heller are standing outside the entrance to the field, and Heller and Jack have one last conversation before Chloe calls, claiming she might be able to hack into the drone Margot's currently using. Jack asks how much time she needs, but Heller claims they have no time, and walks out to the middle of the pitch. Jack stares in disbelief, as do Margot and Ian once they see Heller through the drone camera. They make sure it's him with facial recognition software, then Margot grabs the trigger, and takes the shot...
