Day 5: 11:00 PM - 12:00 AM - S5-E17

Question: Why was Audrey so desperate to ditch the tracker that was put on her car? Wouldn't it have made more sense for her to lead the people following her to the airport? She was meeting her father after all, and once the people back at CTU realised that they may have stopped being so suspicious.

Answer: If she allowed herself to be followed, there was no guarantee that her father's plane would touch down before Audrey and Jack got there. Once Jack got there, CTU tactical teams would've moved in and arrested them both.

Season 7 generally

Question: How did Sean and Erica know that wiping the servers would erase the files Chloe was downloading off the memory card? How did they know it was a self deleting (which doesn't exist) card and not just an SD card or similar that doesn't self delete?

Answer: Believe it or not, self-deleting drives do exist, but they're only used by agencies and governments. That means that Shaun and Erica would know that the only drive that Dubaku would have access to would be a self-deleting one.

Answer: He got a call pretending to be his daughter.
