But until then, here's a tidbit: Within the first hour of Season 8, Jack will meet his granddaughter. No word yet on whether Baby Bauer is rooting for New York or Philadelphia. (Go Phillies!)

Kitchen cooked up an average of 8 million viewers, but was strong enough to eke out a victory for Fox in the coveted adults 18-49 demographic.
