After learning that Jack was attempting to thwart President James Heller’s assassination, Kate joined forces with him to prevent Margot Al-Harazi from using hijacked drones.

Then she discovered that Adam was falsely accused of selling secrets to China by Steve Navarro after Navarro stole the Defense override module and assisted Jack in his attempt to prevent Cheng Zhi from triggering a war between the United States and China. Then Kate went to save President Heller’s daughter Audrey Boudreau from Cheng’s men, but Audrey was killed by a second gunman, prompting Kate to resign from the CIA.

Despite being cleared, she was scheduled for a transfer back to the United States during the week of Day 9.
