Paul (James Frain) manages to print out the critical encoded document before the electromagnetic pulse goes off. The pulse has knocked out all power for eight square miles. McLennan-Forster thugs grab Paul and demand the document. He refuses to tell them where it is, and they beat him until Jack (Kiefer Sutherland) arrives to stop them. Paul retrieves the document and they leave the building, but the defense firm choppers in a team of mercenaries, and Conlon (Tomas Arana) leads them on a mission to find and eliminate Jack and Paul. While looting and chaos erupt all around them, the fleeing pair take refuge in a gun shop owned by two patriotic Arab-Americans, Naji (Amin Nazemzadeh) and Safa (Omid Abtahi), who agree to help them fend off the mercenaries. Back at CTU, Michelle (Reiko Aylesworth) has taken over. She relegates Tony (Carlos Bernard) to grunt work until Audrey (Kim Raver) points out that Tony has been courageous and effective throughout the day. Sara (Lana Parrilla) approaches Michelle, demanding the same compensation for being falsely accused that Driscoll had promised. Michelle refuses to give in to her demands, and when Sara pushes her case too far, Michelle has her escorted from the building. Tony, anticipating Jack's next move, tells Michelle to send a CTU assault team to McLennan-Forster's offices, but Michelle insists that the team wait on the perimeter of the EMP blast until Jack and Paul come out. Michelle's plan ends up costing valuable minutes when Jack starts a firefight with the mercenaries just a few blocks from McLennan-Forster. Meanwhile, Marwan (Arnold Vosloo) contacts a military man named Mitch Anderson (Ned Vaughn) and begins the next phase of his attack. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

Comedian Cedric the Entertainer serves as both producer and star of this comedy about a family who discovers just how much can go wrong en route to a family get-together. When Nate Johnson (Cedric the Entertainer) is invited to a big family reunion in Missouri, he sees it as an opportunity to reconnect with his estranged wife and growing children, as well as a chance to show up his wealthier know-it-all brother, Mack (Steve Harvey). Nate takes delivery on an expensive new SUV, persuades his recently separated wife, Dorothy (Vanessa L. Williams), to tag along, and packs up his three kids -- nubile teenager Nikki (Solange Knowles), under-age wannabe rapper D.J. (Bow Wow), and precocious seven-year-old Destiny (Gabby Soleil) -- for what he imagines will be a leisurely drive from Los Angeles to St. Louis. However, between his wary wife, arguing kids, angry police officers, bizarre hitchhikers, bad diner food, and an unfortunate run-in with a cement mixer, getting from point A to point B proves to be just short of a nightmare. Johnson Family Vacation was the first feature film for director Christopher Erskin, who previously distinguished himself directing music videos for the likes of Missy Elliot, TLC, and Boyz II Men. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

As season four of The Jamie Foxx Show gets under way, aspiring actor Jamie King (Jamie Foxx) and sexy hotel desk clerk Fancy Monroe (Garcelle Beauvais) have resumed their relationship -- leaving Fancy's former fiancé, Dr. Silas Landry, out in the cold (and out of the series). Elsewhere at the King's Tower Hotel in L.A., Jamie's Uncle Junior (Garrett Morris) and Aunt Helen (Ellia English) have decided to promote Fancy to director of sales, and the hotel's accountant, Braxton (Christopher B. Duncan), to general manager (hopefully, this takes some of the sting out the fact that Braxton has apparently broken up with his girlfriend Cameron). Sizing up his chances for showbiz success, Jamie resigns himself to a "civilian" job with an ad agency called Jingles 2000, where he meets several new series regulars: boss Bob Nelson (Blake Clark) and co-workers Nicole (Rhona Bennett), Phil (Alex Thomas), Mouse (Suli McCullough), and Curtis (Chris Spencer). Despite the fact that he has taken the job on the rebound, Jamie does well enough to be promoted to supervisor -- only to lose that position and his whole job when he is caught making a demo tape with company equipment. Fortunately, he has become close with Nicole, who likewise yearns to become a star. Teaming up with her for a Vegas act, Jamie is delighted that his career is at last getting somewhere. As the season draws to a close, the relationship between Jamie and Nicole has gone beyond the "professional" stage, forcing Jamie to choose between continuing his singing career and returning to his first love Fancy -- a dilemma that takes two whole season-ending episodes to resolve. ~ Rovi

Jamie King (Jamie Foxx) remains the star resident employee of the rundown L.A. hotel owned by his Aunt and Uncle as he continues to pursue his dream of showbiz stardom during season two of The Jamie Foxx Show. The good news this season is that Jamie finally ends up in bed with the hotel's sexy front-desk clerk Fancy Monroe (Garcelle Beauvais); the bad new is Jamie doesn't get any farther than lying down before his innate nervousness overwhelms him. Moving out of the King's Tower Hotel mid-season, Jamie moves in with the hotel's snobbish accountant, Braxton T. Hartnabrig (Christopher B. Duncan). This "Odd Couple" relationship comes to an abrupt end when Jamie accidentally starts a fire in the apartment, forcing himself and Braxton to return, sadder but not a lot wiser, to King's Tower. The season ends as Jamie gets a job doing the opening act for the rap group K-Ci & JoJo, whom he met in time-honored sitcom fashion by bumping into their car. As he prepares to go on tour with the singers, Jamie is completely oblivious to the fact that former "ice queen" Fancy (Garcelle Beauvais) has fallen in love with him. ~ Rovi
