Jack loses contact with Robert Ellis and sends agents to check his location in New Orleans. CTU identifies Alexis Drazen among the backup assassins and circulates photographs to Palmer's staff. Elizabeth Nash recognises her lover and admits their relationship to Palmer. Brought to CTU, she agrees to return to Alexis and help Jack monitor him. Confirmation of Ellis's death reaches Jack as he prepares to leave with her for the operation.
At the safehouse, Teri tells Nina she will not hold the affair against her, but the questioning remains uncomfortable. Nina leaves before Myovic and Suba attack the agents guarding the house. Paulson discovers the missing guards and tries to protect Teri and Kim. The women escape through the garage while the wounded agent shoots Suba. Myovic kills Paulson and pursues their car along the hillside roads, forcing Teri to turn off the road to evade him.
Teri stops near a steep drop and leaves Kim in the car while she checks whether the pursuit has ended. The ground gives way and the vehicle rolls downhill before exploding. Teri collapses, then wanders onto the road unable to remember her name. A passing woman offers her a ride, while Kim wakes alive near the wreckage and calls for her mother. Meanwhile, Keith secretly records Carl threatening to plant evidence connecting him to Ferragamo's death.
