Both of them express that they're glad Jack has moved back in, and Jack doesn't hesitate to back up Teri when Kim tries to blame her for the troubles in their marriage.

** This is a transcendental moment in the series. After lazily drawing on the "MiddleEasternTerrorists" cliche literally every other season for six years, the show not only presents well-meaning, non-traitorous Muslim immigrants, but creates a situation where Jack could naturally accept an imam's ethical and spiritual authority. It shows ThePowerOfLove, even across religious boundaries, as the imam earns Jack's trust by (what Western cultures consider) that most Christian of acts: [[TurnTheOtherCheek Turning The Other Cheek]]. Is it a shameless cash grab and -- as kids today would put it -- shameless SJW pandering? Quite possibly. But it also ''works'', not just because of the tighter plotting of the season but because Creator/KieferSutherland and Creator/RaviKapoor [[SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct Really Can Act]].

What makes this particularly effective is the fact that Jack doesn't say a word until three-quarters of the way through the episode, instead calmly letting events play out, safe in the knowledge that he's completely in control of the situation, until he's ready to put his plan into action.

* Day 7: 10:00pm-11:00pm introduces us to Port Authority supervisor Carl Gadsen, a NiceGuy whose wife is about to have a baby. Turns out he was promised some cash for looking away the one time he shouldn't. Jack and Tony capture him and explain the situation. He feels terrible, and though frightened offers to help with Jack's promise that he won't let him get hurt. Turns out the only way Jack and Tony's newest scheme to catch Stokes men will work is if they ''let'' him get killed to maintain their cover. Just when it looks like Cooper is going to kill him, Cooper's shot by Jack, who couldn't abandon the poor man.

* The entirety of the season 7 finale.
* "I'm sorry Daddy, but I'm not ready to let you go!"
* The end of Season 7, in the White House, when an exhausted Allison Taylor allows herself a moment of weakness, confessing to her former Chief of Staff (and close friend) Ethan Kanin, "I've lost everyone." Ethan says simply, "Not everyone," and she correctly concludes that he is un-resigning. The look of dawning hope on her face is simply magnificent.

* Within the first five minutes of Season 8, we see a relatively relaxed Jack awaken from a nap and play around with his granddaughter. Cuteness exemplified.
* Jack's final recording intended for Kim. A major TearJerker yes, in that he reveals that the actions he is about to take will make it impossible for him to ever see her and her family again, due to the great danger they would be in if he did, but Jack makes sure that Kim understands his actions, and his stance on the nature of Peace, it cannot be garnered through political means, but through human means of trust and honesty. When the recording is Intercepted by President Taylor, his speech is so powerful and moving, it's enough for her to call off the Negotiations with Russia, turn herself in for her part in the conspiracy and give Jack a head start against the manhunt that will assume against him. Most of all Jack ensures his daughter that no matter what, he has and will always love her, just as much as she should love her family.

* Day 7: 10:00pm-11:00pm introduces us to Port Authority supervisor Carl Gadsen, a NiceGuy who's wife is about to have a baby. Turns out he was promised some cash for looking away the one time he shouldn't. Jack and Tony capture him and explain the situation. He feels terrible, and though frightened offers to help with Jack's promise that he won't let him get hurt. Turns out the only way Jack and Tony's newest scheme to catch Stokes men will work is if they ''let'' him get killed to maintain their cover. Just when it looks like Cooper is going to kill him, Cooper's shot by Jack, who couldn't abandon the poor man.

** This is a transcendental moment in the series. After lazily drawing on the "MiddleEasternTerrorist" cliche literally every other season for six years, the show not only presents well-meaning, non-traitorous Muslim immigrants, but creates a situation where Jack could naturally accept an imam's ethical and spiritual authority. It shows ThePowerOfLove, even across religious boundaries, as the imam earns Jack's trust by (what Western cultures consider) that most Christian of acts: [[TurnTheOtherCheek Turning The Other Cheek]]. Is it a shameless cash grab and -- as kids today would put it -- shameless SJW pandering? Quite possibly. But it also ''works'', not just because of the tighter plotting of the season but because Creator/KieferSutherland and Creator/RaviKapoor [[SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct Really Can Act]].
