Fox's 24 has officially announced that Season 5 villain-in-chief Gregory Itzin and his firecracker first lady Jean Smart will resurface during Jack's next very bad day. While no details were divulged about the Emmy-nominated couple's encore, save that they are both recurring gigs, I invite you to read what Itzin told Ausiello back in September about his Season 6 return.
