This is a recap of episode 12 of season 7 of 24. It is episode 7pm-8pm. In it, terrorists take over The Whitehouse by accessing it through a lake that supposedly exists nearby, drill a whole under it and then enter and take the President of the United States hostage. It’s as ridiculous and stupid as it sounds. So enjoy our recap of it. Somehow.
