Duh. Initially I thought the guy who was tailing Kim was the kidnapper, but the minute she sat down with that couple I knew something else was up.
Fistfull is right, the Kim kidnap has only been done twice before S7, but it's still the worst device the show has introduced. "Badass' daughter gets kidnapped" is a staple of the action genre sure, just keep it out of my 24.
Like I said on GAF, what is the writing process like for this season? You'd think by now they would get a fucking blackboard and throw a bunch of tired devices on it - mole, Kim kidnap, etc - and ban them. Instead they've used every single one. Overall this has been a good season but this Kim shit could ruin everything. Honestly I want her to die. Then we'll get the truly deranged Jack that appeared in the S1 finale.
