But look at the pile of implausibilities here. Tony had to be captured by Starkwood so he could be part of the FBI raid so he could be left behind, but he was only left behind because of the call by Jack to Doug -- how could that have been anticipated?

------------
Why would that have to be anticipated? Maybe he was playing things by ear? Remember we still don't know who he's working for - or what their purpose is. Is it part of the bigger cabal? Remember Hodges mentioning that his operation was the tip of the iceberg? Is Tony part of this overseer group?

=================

For that matter, how could Tony have known any of what happened, including Jack's involvement? Without Jack being hooked into the FBI through Renee, all of the "rump CTU" activities look pretty stupid.
------------------
Don't understand this. What did Tony know that he shouldn't have known? I don't remember him saying anything about something that he didn't have knowledge of?

==========================

Oh well, time to just go with the flow and see how this works out.
-------------

EXACTLY!!! It has to be determined what group he's aligned with and what he's doing. Remember he's the one with the tip that led to finding out about the attack on the Prez! He said he was in contact with people that said the plane thing wasn't the end of it!!!

Was Hodges out of control? Remember Hodges killed off his "partner" when he got in the way? Did the people over Hodges think he was expendable or had gotten a little too big? We don't know. Or it could be a group is trying to bring down the people over Starkwood. It looks like Hodges gets out so is the bioweapon going to be used against them.

The other possibility is that Tony is a mercenary whose services go to the highest bidder. It could be why he keeps apparently switching sides. Then again, if you're being watched - which he wasn't when he hotwired those Starkwood missiles - he had to follow through and play the part he's pretending to be.

Now if the plot twist doesn't explain his destroying the missiles carrying the bioweapon at Starkwood while keeping a supply for himself - that's going to be a problem!!! As stated, he wasn't being watched at STarkwood and could easily have not done anything and said, Oops, didn't have time - or I was being watched - or there was no opportunity - or any number of things!!! Who would know? No one! But he went out of his way to complete that mission, but part of the mission that the FBI was not aware of was squirreling away that hidden amount of the bio weapon.

Hmmmmm....

I love this series!!! Best thing on TV at the present moment!!!
