So let me see if I understand the Bauer boys' plan here: Dad heads off to find McCarthy while Graem waits behind. Jack and Graem show up. Grame pretends to send Jack and Dad off to be killed. Dad now depends on Jack getting them free, stopping to kill one of his own men. They both head back, so that Jack can recapture Graem. Jack tortures Graem, who spills the fact he was in on Day 5's attacks.
All this was done to make it look like Graem was the bad guy, so that Dad could act unimpeded. But, now Dad realizes that Graem won't be able to hold out against extended interrogation, and so he kills Graem - but only after conveniently being left alone with him (once again, CTU's outstanding security comes through).
Frankly, this whole thing is a load. Was this supposed to be their contingency plan all along (since they didn't have any time that we saw to plan this out)? Would they have used the same plan if Jack hadn't been the one to come in - after all, the Bauers did not know Jack was back from China yet. And how could this plan end with anything other than the death of Graem?
Arrrrrrgh. Sure, there was a nice interrogation scene, and the new track with Morris could be O.K., but the convulsions this episode went through to hide and then reveal Dad's role in things was just stupid, even for 24.
