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:
“Compare ... the cinema with theatre. Both are dramatic arts. Theatre brings actors before a public and every night during the season they re-enact the same drama. Deep in the nature of theatre is a sense of ritual. The cinema, by contrast, transports its audience individually, singly, out of the theatre towards the unknown.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
