Oh holy crap.

Tonight marked the untimely end of Soul-Patch Tony Almeida.

He was predeceased by his wife, the lovely Michelle Dessler, in an horrific and untimely car explosion. Michelle and Soul-Patch Tony were formerly employed at L.A.'s easily-penetrable-by-terrorist-moles Counter Terrorism Unit, aka CTU.

Last year, following the "death" of Jack Bauer, aka "The Man", the couple left the organization to open a private security technology company.

Reports of the death of Jack Bauer were greatly exaggerated.

Michelle and Soul-Patch Tony were in on the cover-up, as was the surly but competent computer guru Chloe, as was the best American President Ever, President David Palmer.

President Palmer, regretfully, was assassinated by a bullet to the neck. Chloe was saved by not-so-dead Jack Bauer. Michelle was killed instantly by the aforementioned car explosion. Soul-Patch Tony was critically injured in the blast.

After Soul-Patch Tony learned of his wife's death, he was, understandably, distraught. He vowed soul-patch vengeance on his wife's murderer. Conveniently, his wife's murderer, Henderson, was brought to the same CTU facility where he (Soul-Patch Tony) was receiving medical treatment. Henderson was the subject of ongoing torture to reveal crucial information relating to some sort of nerve gas crisis.

Soul-Patch Tony's plan of vengeance was thwarted momentarily when nerve gas was released into CTU's ventilation system.

Once the nerve gas was cleared, he began to exact his plan. Henderson lay in a torture-drug-induced coma on a gurney. Soul-Patch Tony, although he had just had surgery, deftly knocked out the agent attending to the torture. He picked up a syringe and filled it with some sort of life-ending drug. He was poised to inject the drug directly into Henderson's chest.

He stopped short of his goal - he couldn't go through with it!

At that very moment, Henderson sprung to life, tore the syringe from Soul-Patch Tony's hands, and injected the drug into Soul-Patch Tony's chest!

Not even Soul-Patch Tony can survive an injection of life-ending drugs.

Jack Bauer, maybe he could, but not Soul-Patch Tony.

R.I.P. Soul-Patch Tony.

P.S. Also, R.I.P. Lynn "Fat Hobbit" McGill. They're dropping like flies.
