With this episode Jack Bauer has failed to sacrifice himself 3 times today. He left Fayed's base when CTU tried to trade him for Assad, Philip didn't pull the trigger when Jack traded his life for his nephew and in this episode CTU prevented Jack from blowing himself up while trading Audrey for the nuclear component.
Jack leaves a message on Buchanan's phone with details of his location. He also says that Bill "has been a good friend".
Jack first met Buchanan on Day 4 when he took over from Michelle as head of CTU. At the end of the day, Jack's death was faked so he could hide from the Chinese. He returned (18 months later) on Day 5, where Buchanan was still running CTU but at the end of Day 5 he was captured by the Chinese and put in prison for another 18 months. When he returns on Day 6, he works with CTU for a few hours.
So just when did Jack Bauer and Bill Buchanan have the time to become "good friends"?
Jack Bauer: (referring to Cheng) Is he gone?
Mike Doyle: Yeah. I gotta take you under custody, Jack.
Jack Bauer: I had this handled. Why the hell didn't you listen to me?
Morris O'Brian: Why don't you write down the way you want me to act, put it in a file, tab delimited, the way Milo loves it, and... shove it.
Chloe O'Brian: Okay, I'll write it down. The first item on the list would be "Don't be such a jealous jerk".
Morris O'Brian: Okay, um, the day I'm jealous is the day I kill myself. Is there anything else?
Chloe O'Brian: How about "Don't arm nuclear bombs for terrorists"?
