Blimey, where to start? Well, first of all it’s ironic how Jack originally suspected her of being the CTU mole from the outset in season one. Ironic indeed as she was sensationally revealed to be the Drazens’ inside woman in the penultimate episode of said season. Watching it first time round, there’s a palpable sense of shock when the camera focuses in on her speaking in a conspiratorial Eastern European tone.

In season three, having acquainted ourselves long enough with Jack, it must have crossed his mind to rip her tongue out with his teeth - well, we’ve seen him take a chunk out of someone’s ear - when she asks him to kiss him to prove he is over Teri’s death.

Inevitable though it was rather anticlimactic when Jack finally gets to kill her: lying helplessly wounded, bargaining with her life by insisting to Jack she had more valuable information. Something which Jack doesn’t believe to be true and accordingly pulls the trigger. The main thing, of course, was that he got his revenge…at last.

The name's Colbourn, James - yeah, doesn't quite have the same ring to it.
