Oops, Marika did die. No wonder Renee was angry -- although there is no way on God's green earth that the police get Marika's sister to the hospital that quickly.

An acquaintance of mine was recently watching seasons 1 and 2 again. In season 1, Jack was almost as emotional about what was going on as Renee is this year. In season 2, he was much different, cold-bloodedly murdering a bad guy in episode 1 to get access to the real bad guys, but he still wasn't the gung-ho torturer that he later became -- although he did fake killing a bad guy's kid to get the guy to tell him about a bomb location, which is pretty much what he and Renee did this season.

So, in answer to Renee's question about his feelings, he could have answered that he's seen a lot of friends die over a lot of years, and a lot more enemies.

And it looks like he may see one more friend die next week. Rumor is that either Bill or Aaron Pierce is toast during General Zuma's invasion of the White House.
