== Season overview ==
Twenty months have passed since [[Season 5|Day 5]]. After being captured by the Chinese for his involvement in the events of [[Season 4|Day 4]], [[Jack Bauer]] is returned to the United States government a broken, yet honorable, man. To stop a series of devastating attacks on the US, [[CTU]] has agreed to hand Jack over to a terrorist mastermind, [[Abu Fayed]], who is bent on revenge. Jack survives and, after a nuclear attack on American soil, vows to retrieve the remainder of the nuclear weapons used in the day's attacks. The White House, meanwhile, suffers from an internal power struggle between President [[Wayne Palmer]] and his Vice President [[Noah Daniels]], forcing Palmer's staff to choose sides, which in turn affects CTU and its employees. After eliminating the day's threats, Jack is forced into a personal crusade to save [[Audrey Raines]] from [[Cheng Zhi|those he fears most]], and discovers that [[Graem Bauer|his]] [[Phillip Bauer|family]] is more involved with the day's events than he ever imagined.

== Timeline ==

Day 6 begins at [[6:00am-7:00am|6:00am]] [[Pacific Time|PST]] ([[9:00am-10:00am|9:00am]] [[Eastern Time|EST]]), taking place 20 months after [[Season 5|Day 5]] and roughly 9 years, 2 months after [[Season 1|Day 1]]. Wayne mentions that he was inaugurated three months before Day 6, which would place the day somewhere in late April or early May. A scene in [[Day 7]] shows that it takes place on "the second day of November". That sets [[Inauguration Day]] in [[24: Redemption]] on August 29. If Wayne Palmer was inaugurated on August 29, this would set Day 6 in late November or early December. In "[[Chloe's Arrest]]", Chloe's son's birthday is stated as July 8, supporting a November date for Day 6, where she discovers her pregnancy.

==Format==
Similar to the first three seasons, Day 6 can be split into two acts:

#After nearly two years in a Chinese prison, [[Jack Bauer]] works to bring down the [[:Category:Fayed terrorist cell|terrorist]] [[:Category:Russian ultranationalists|masterminds]] that threaten to detonate [[Suitcase nuclear device|suitcase nukes]] in Los Angeles, discovering links to his own family in the process. The main antagonists in this act are [[Abu Fayed]], [[Dmitri Gredenko]], [[Graem Bauer]] and [[Phillip Bauer]]. ([[Day 6: 6:00am-7:00am|6:00am]]&ndash;[[Day 6: 10:00pm-11:00pm|11:00pm]])
#After the nuclear suitcases are recovered, Jack is contacted by an [[Cheng Zhi|old enemy]] who demands Jack hand over an extremely sensitive [[FB subcircuit board|component]] of the nukes in exchange for a [[Audrey Boudreau|hostage]]'s life. Jack's decision to steal the component begins to ignite an international incident with Russia. The main antagonists in this act are [[Phillip Bauer]] and [[Cheng Zhi]]. ([[Day 6: 11:00pm-12:00am|11:00pm]]&ndash;[[Day 6: 5:00am-6:00am|6:00am]])

=== Major subplots ===

* The principal subplot of the season revolves around a conspiracy in the [[White House]]. It initially revolves around internal conflict between the passage of a law that would curtail civil liberties, then revolves around an assassination attempt against [[Wayne Palmer]], the overtaking of Palmer's position by VP [[Noah Daniels]], and the diplomatic incident regarding Jack's theft of the [[FB subcircuit board]]. Major characters in this subplot include Palmer, Daniels, [[Tom Lennox]] and [[Karen Hayes]]. The main antagonists of Wayne's assassination plot are [[Bruce Carson]] and [[Reed Pollock]].
** There is also revealed to be a [[Mark Bishop|spy]] in Washington's midst.
* [[Jack Bauer|Jack]] struggles to readjust to his old life following his imprisonment.
* Many characters are confronted by discrimination against Americans of Middle Eastern origin. [[Nadia Yassir]]'s work is slowed down to how government employees of Middle Eastern backgrounds are faced by heightened levels of scrutiny.
* Jack discovers his family's involvement in not only the brokering of the suitcase nukes, but the murders of his friends [[David Palmer]], [[Tony Almeida]], and [[Michelle Dessler]] during [[Day 5]].
* A mysterious newcomer to [[CTU]], [[Mike Doyle]], faces criticism for his past and present actions, yet sometimes appears more informed and compassionate than expected.
* Jack must go against everything and everybody he knows in order to save [[Audrey Raines|one of the people who means the most to him]].
* The day's stress on major characters' relationships—in particular [[Karen Hayes]] and [[Bill Buchanan]], [[Chloe O'Brian]] and [[Morris O'Brian]], and [[Nadia Yassir]], [[Milo Pressman]] and [[Mike Doyle]].
* The Bauer family is put to the ultimate test as an endgame is put into play involving Jack's nephew [[Josh Bauer|Josh]], his father Phillip and the Chinese government.
* An attack on CTU, leading to the impeding of the investigation and the killing of several CTU agents.
* The events of the day lead to a brewing international incident with [[Russia]], as President [[Yuri Suvarov]] threatens a military response if the U.S. cannot avert the incident.
* [[Wayne Palmer]] is injured after a plot to assassinate him, and his ability to run as President is put into question.
* [[Vice President]] [[Noah Daniels]] rises to the role of President in the middle of the crisis.

===Impacts on future seasons===
* Jack is freed from the Chinese prison.
* The deaths of [[Curtis Manning]], [[Milo Pressman]], [[President]] [[Wayne Palmer]], [[Graem Bauer]] and [[Phillip Bauer]], the latter two of whom were involved in the [[Sentox nerve gas conspiracy|conspiracy]] surrounding [[Day 5]].
* The proper introduction of [[Morris O'Brian]], Chloe's ex-husband.
** The revelation at the end that Chloe is pregnant.
* The introductions of [[Marilyn Bauer|Marilyn]] and [[Josh Bauer]], Jack's sister-in-law and nephew respectively.
* The arrest of [[Cheng Zhi]].
* [[Audrey Raines]] is freed from captivity, though she has become catatonic, and this causes rivalry between [[James Heller|her father]] and Jack.
