Before Day 8
Six months before Day 8, Reed met President Omar Hassan at a conference of oil ministers. After meeting, Hassan agreed to an interview with her and they met at his hotel lobby twice. At some point, they started a relationship.

Day 8
Meredith Reed arrived at the United Nations for the peace treaty sign of Presidents Allison Taylor and Omar Hassan. However, upon arriving at the security checkpoint, the security guard told her that her credential had been revoked. When she insisted, the guard told her to step away. After walking out, she called Hassan and told him what had happened. He assured her that he would have the matter resolved. Almost at 5:00pm, Farhad Hassan went down to the lobby and let her in. However, he also warned her not to harm Hassan. Once inside the building, Reed was arrested by Agent Manners and other security agents. He was immediately brought to CTU where Brian Hastings told her what she was being charged with. When she denied the charges, Hastings ordered her to be taken into an interrogation room with a full biometric package. In the meantime, CTU discovered incriminating files on a hard drive in her apartment. After she was prepared for the interrogation, Brian Hastings came to the room and started questioning about her relationship with President Omar Hassan. At some point, the specialist told Hastings that she was witholding information. Hastings pressed on her until she revealed she was having an affair with Hassan. Not believing it, Hastings left her to corroborate her story.

After Hassan corroborated Reed's statement and the true assassin was discovered, Hastings released Meredith offering her an official apology. She then met with Hassan in one of CTU's meeting rooms. Hassan, relieved to see her released, told her that he had decided to finish their relationship. Heartbroken, she left the building.
