Season Overview
Season Seven takes place 42 months after Season Six and begins with Jack Bauer on trial for alleged crimes he committed while working for CTU. Senator Blaine Mayer has disbanded CTU and strengthened the policies of Allison Taylor's administration against torture. Bauer is brought into another counter-terrorist operation when FBI agent Renee Walker interrupts the hearing to tell him about an imminent threat.
Like Day 4, Day 7 is divided into small acts which portray the villains as having an ever-changing agenda.
- Warlord Ike Dubaku breaches a government firewall and attempts to cause massive damage.
- Dubaku subsequently tries to manipulate President Taylor by kidnapping her husband.
- A unit of soldiers from Sangala invades the White House and takes President Taylor hostage.
- Mercenaries from Starkwood acquire a prion weapon and threaten to deploy it on major American cities.
- Tony betrays Jack and the FBI by stealing the last canister of the pathogen and attempting to use it against civilians.

Famous quotes containing the word season:
“The theater is a baffling business, and a shockingly wasteful one when you consider that people who have proven their worth, who have appeared in or been responsible for successful plays, who have given outstanding performances, can still, in the full tide of their energy, be forced, through lack of opportunity, to sit idle season after season, their enthusiasm, their morale, their very talent dwindling to slow gray death. Of finances we will not even speak; it is too sad a tale.”
—Ilka Chase (1905–1978)
