Baylor was instructed by Richard Walsh to analyze the key cards of all CTU employees. He was asked to look for suspicious patterns of movement and computer access, but found something even more incriminating, one of the cards' magnetic strips had been used to store encrypted information. However, the owner of the card had wiped their personal information off it before handing it over.

Baylor put his family on a flight to Canada and asked Walsh to meet him secretly at 2350 Dunlop Plaza to hand off the card. Baylor met with Walsh there and gave him the keycard. He explained to Walsh that the magnetic strip on the keycard had an embedded file with a great deal of data which could be easily smuggled out of a restricted area. Fearing for his life, Baylor wanted to resign and be with his family, but Walsh convinced him to remain at CTU and help uncover the people responsible for the threat on Senator Palmer. Baylor agreed to help for the next 24 hours, but insisted he would join his family after that. As Walsh and Baylor prepared to leave, Walsh was seriously injured, and Baylor was killed.

A couple hours later while doing a routine systems check she discovers an abnormality and reports it to Edgar Stiles. Edgar tells her that if she wants someone to check it out, she should do it herself. When she enters the room where the anomaly was (the ventilation control room), she is murdered by Ostroff, who was planting Sentox nerve gas in CTU for Vladimir Bierko.

Howard Bern

Howard Bern (played by Robert Cicchini) was a CTU field agent. Late during Day 4, Bern was part of a covert CTU operation led by Jack Bauer to extract Lee Jong, an associate of the terrorist Habib Marwan, after Lee took refuge at the Chinese consulate in Los Angeles. Though team successfully extracted Lee, a major diplomatic incident occurred when the Chinese consul was accidentally killed by friendly fire during the incident.

CTU and the White House initially denied any involvement, but Chinese agent Cheng Zhi managed to identify Bern when his mask was briefly pulled up by a guard and caught on a surveillance camera. Jack and Bill Buchanan arranged for Bern to go into hiding, but he was apprehended by Cheng and his men before he could reach his hiding place. Faced with the possibility of spending the rest of his life in a Chinese prison, Bern reluctantly implicated Jack as the leader of the operation. Bern was presumably released after this.

Jack would later be forced to fake his own death because of this and go into hiding for over a year, before he too was apprehended by Cheng.

Rick Burke

Rick Burke (played by Marty Papazian) was the CTU interrogator during Day 5 and 6.

Burke was brought in to try and get Christopher Henderson to talk, and got him into CTU Medical before the Sentox VX nerve gas was released.

Burke appeared during Day 6 to assist in the interrogation of Graem Bauer. He was also standing by at CTU to interrogate Abu Fayed, but Jack and Buchanan decided to deceive Fayed and trick him into leading CTU to the bombs after it became clear that medical torture would yield no results.

During Day 5's hostage crisis at Ontario Airport, McGill was appointed by the White House to CTU-Los Angeles to supervise Bill Buchanan and the rest of the team. Initially portrayed as confident, McGill's competence came into question as he worked and operated with a rigid and unyielding "by the book" naïveté. This eventually led to his removal from command.

Later that day, McGill's stolen keycard was used to gain access for a deployment of deadly Sentox nerve gas into the CTU facility. About 40% of CTU staffers perished from exposure, but McGill survived in a sealed holding cell. To disperse the gas, McGill decided to sacrifice his life by leaving the protected area to disable a rogue program interfering with the ventilation system.

She was only provisionally qualified for Level Three technical work, though her Chemistry expertise led CTU to Wilshire Gas Company, the natural gas distribution center where Vladimir Bierko planned to release the remainder of his Sentox supply.

Knowing that Vladimir Bierko would have to lower the pressure of the gas running through the pipes before releasing the Sentox into the supply, Shari pointed out to Buchanan and Chloe O'Brian that they could find which center Bierko was after by monitoring the PSI at each one. Because of her knowledge, Jack Bauer was able to destroy the center before the Sentox could be released into 90,000 homes.

Between 11:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m., Shari was in charge of checking satellite logs, and noticed that one of the satellites was being used covertly. Shari alerted Chloe, who discovered the satellite was being used by DHS director Karen Hayes (then in charge of CTU Los Angeles) to track Audrey Raines.

Tony Almeida and Michelle Dessler — two of Paula's close friends at CTU — assure her that she is the best one for the job, and she shouldn't worry. Additionally, Paula worries about her family while working, but Michelle convinces her that they are all working to save millions of lives — including Paula's family.

Paula performs several data processing and file alterations during the first hours of the day. When Jack is undercover with Eddie Grant, Paula assists him by altering his records to cement Jack's position and deter suspicion amongst Grant's subordinates. Immediately thereafter, NSA learns of a potential attack on CTU Los Angeles, but they withhold the information from CTU to maintain Jack's cover. However, NSA orders Tony to copy their information onto NSA's servers in an attempt to secure any leaked data that the attack would create. Tony sends Paula over to perform this task.

Less than an hour later, CTU is attacked by a bomb while Paula is going through the most sensitive phases of the file transfer. After the explosion, Paula is stuck under a girder, losing consciousness and on the verge of death. Paula had earlier encrypted all of their intelligence on the nuclear threat, but is now unable to decrypt it. George Mason tells Tony to do whatever he can to regain that data. Although she is on the verge of death, Tony needs Paula to decrypt the information — which may save millions of lives at the sacrifice of Paula's. When Paula wakes up, Michelle and Mason ask her for the source decryption key to complete the file transfer. With her last words, Paula gives them the location of where she hid a copy of the decrypt key. Mason tells her that she is responsible for saving many lives. As Paula is rushed to an ambulance, she flatlines.

Edgar becomes angered at him and blames him for Chloe not showing up on time. Spenser finds out that Chloe was logged in remotely at the Penthouse that former president David Palmer was assassinated at. This led to CTU discovering Jack Bauer's location and having Chloe captured. A few hours after Chloe was reinstated, she saw that Spenser was accessing a server that CTU hadn't given him clearance for (his clearance for CTU was level 3). After it was revealed that he had a level 5 clearance, he was brought into holding for accessing sensitive files. Before he was taken into holding, he admitted a man into the building who claimed he was from Division to put taps on some computers. The man was actually an assassin sent by Walt Cummings and James Nathanson to take out Jack Bauer. Not realizing that this man was a professional assassin, he admitted that he had been working for the White House; specifically Walt Cummings. (Spenser lamented that he thought he "was serving the President" Charles Logan; in an ironic sense it turns out he was correct, as it is later revealed he was involved in Walt's conspiracy.)

In episode 7 he was released from holding to help Chloe O'Brian and Edgar Stiles hack the building security of a building owned by terrorist Jacob Rossler so Jack Bauer and Curtis Manning could move in covertly and arrest him. After this was over, Chloe fired him because of his work for Walt Cummings. She remained mad at him throughout the day, even after he left, for crawling in bed with her.
