Courtesy of TRS, Kick The Son Of A Bitch now isn't a trope.


* WildCard: Because she's so astonished by the reality of who Alexis is, everyone is more worried about her breaking under pressure. She begins the ''24'' tradition of civilians in high-tension situations suddenly doing something unexpected -- in this case, taking justice into her own hands. That being said, [[KarmaHoudini she gets away with it]], either because everyone knows she was ''waaaay'' out of her depth or because [[KickTheSonOfABitch Alexis Drazen WAS one of the villains]].

To his credit, Jack does try to keep Paul alive long enough for the doctors to get back to him, but the severity of Paul's condition renders this impossible.

!!Jibraan Al-Zarian
->'''Played by:''' Creator/OmidAbtahi

An innocent man who has the poor luck to be a Muslim, getting him swept up into Tony Almeida's plans.

* ActionSurvivor: When put in a dangerous situation, he shows nerve, creativity under pressure, and an impressive penchant for acting.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: A Pakistani national, his parents were slain in a bombing when he was 11.
* FallGuy: Positioned deliberately by Tony.
* FrameUp: In addition to his past, which is typical of radicalized extremists, Tony and Cara Bowden manufacture a great deal of false narrative, including bank transfers, to implicate him.
* GuileHero: His ability to think outside the box is instrumental in getting him out of trouble.
* NiceGuy: His interactions with his younger brother Hamid depict a man who is kind, caring and not particularly violent.
* MetaTwist: He, Hamid and their Imam, Muhtadi Gohar, are the first (and, in the end, only) Muslim characters to be unambiguously portrayed as one of the good guys.
* PromotionToParent: he has been raising Hamid for 15 years.
* RefugeInAudacity: Forced to carry a bomb for a terrorist attack, how does he get that bomb out to the authorities? By holding it up and shouting, "''I've got a bomb!!!''" Simultaneously heroic and [[CrossesTheLineTwice side-splittingly funny]].

* BrokenMasquerade: Learns the true nature of her boyfriend, "Samuel Aboa," from Jack and Renee.
* CarChase: is in one as Dubaku attempts to flee the country.
* HeroicSacrifice: when the FBI lose the trail of herself and Dubaku, she grabs the driver's steering wheel and engineers the crash. She has to unbuckle her seatbelt and lean over the front seat to do this, implying she has accepted that her odds of survival are slim. [[CharacterDeath Which they are]].

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Played with; he immediately works out how untrustworthy Dana is, but the entire reason he comes into contact with her is because he believes that Kevin is a reformed character who's been led astray by Nick. From what we see of them, while Nick is clearly the worse of the two in every regard, Kevin is no saint, and in all likelihood never was.
