1 Season one largely centres around the kidnapping of Jack Bauer's daughter Kim, and later his wife Teri. How is Teri killed?
Answer: She is shot by CTU agent, Nina Meyers.

Teri and Kim are held hostage by terrorists who have a score to settle with Jack, but they are rescued from that. The women are in a safe house when it comes under attack, but they also manage to escape, unharmed, from that.
Back in CTU, Teri stumbles upon the fact that Nina is the mole. Initially Nina only ties Teri up, but after a phone order from her contact, she shoots Teri and tries to escape. We don't actually see Teri being shot; we hear the order being given and see Nina turn and look at her. Jack's discovery of Teri's body is the first that we are sure that Nina carried out her orders. Up until that point we have some hope that she was still human enough to let Teri live.
Teri was played by Leslie Hope.

10 In season one, George Mason is District Director of CTU and is not a very sympathetic character. By Season Two he is Special Agent in charge of CTU Los Angeles who becomes more human as the season progresses. How does George die?
Answer: In the explosion of the nuclear bomb

At the beginning of season two George is still not that sympathetic a character. In fact, the news that there is a nuclear bomb threat to LA seems to provoke the flight response in George and it looks like he is going to get himself out of range. He ends up being exposed to lethal levels of plutonium and his approaching death seems to help him find his resolve. He chooses to spend his last hours trying to prevent the nuclear bomb from going off.
When the bomb is found, it becomes obvious that someone is going to have to fly it over the dessert to have it detonate there, where it will do the least damage. Jack makes the sacrifice but Mason stows away on board, gives Jack a parachute and takes control of the plane, dying when the bomb explodes.
George was played by Xander Berkeley.

17 David Palmer is a presidential candidate in Season One and President of the United States for seasons two and three. How is David assassinated?
Answer: He is shot by a sniper.

Palmer's term as president is fraught with terrorist activity. He is president when the atomic bomb is exploded over the dessert. He is still president when a deadly virus is released into a downtown hotel, and the threat of having more of the virus released had to be averted. An assassination attempt is made on his life through a toxin transmitted through a handshake, but he survives the attempt.
He chooses not to run for re-election, but gets called back in to advise VP Charles Logan how to handle his crisis, when Logan becomes acting president.
At the beginning of Season Five, Palmer is meeting with his brother to discuss the writing of his memoirs, when he is shot and killed by a sniper, from an adjacent building. He is assassinated because he has information about a plot, by both the government and private industry, and is intending on doing something about it.
David Palmer was played by Dennis Haysbert.

Answer: Chloe O'Brian

Chloe O'Brian is first introduced to us in season three as the computer geek whom no one understands. She is always ready to state the obvious and sometimes seems to make things worse when she's really trying to help.

In season five when Edgar Stiles is killed, Chloe actually shows some deep emotional sadness that helps her character develop further.

32 Sherry Palmer is David Palmer's wife and political partner in season one. David becomes aware of how unscrupulous and dangerous she really is, and splits from her before she can achieve her dream of being First Lady. How is Sherry killed?
Answer: She is shot by Julia Milliken.

David's brother, Wayne, had an affair with the wife of Alan Milliken, one of David's biggest supporters and financial backers. When Alan demands that Wayne be fired, David asks Sherry to help with the situation. Sherry is in Alan's presence when he suffers a heart incident, and she withholds his medicine (forcing his wife Julia to do the same) causing him to die. Sherry then uses this information to either try to force David into bringing her back into his life as First Lady, or to bring down his administration by naming him as a conspirator in the murder. Meanwhile Milliken's wife has become the chief suspect in the murder. Distraught, Julia confronts Sherry, shooting her and then turning the gun on herself. David is disgusted at what he inadvertently caused to happen and chooses not to seek another term as president.
Sherry was played by Penny Johnson Jerald.
