Teri Bauer is a fictional character played by Leslie Hope on the first season of the television series 24.
Teri Bauer was born in 1961. She was the wife of Jack Bauer and the mother of Kim Bauer. She has a Master of Fine Arts and Art Practice at the University of California, and worked as a freelance interior designer. She was killed by Nina Myers on the day of the California Presidential Primary in Season 1.
At the beginning of Day 1, Jack has just moved back into his house with his wife and daughter, at Teri's request - though Kim is still treating her mother with a lack of respect as she takes Jack's side in the separation. This shows Kim's unappreciation for her parents. When it becomes apparent that Kim has left the house, Teri goes to look for her, along with a man claiming to be Alan York, the father of the girl Kim is with. When Kim realizes that she is not in control of the situation, she calls Teri to say, against her will, that everything is alright. Teri begins to suspect that something is up when Kim tells her that she loves her, something that she never says. Teri stays with the man claiming to be Alan York and eventually they find out that one of the girls had been taken to the hospital after being hit by a car.
Teri and Alan York go to the hospital where they discover that Janet is the one that was the victim of the hit and run. Teri is later re-united with Jack at the hospital, where it is revealed that Kim's disappearance may have been connected with terrorists. After Gaines contacts Jack and forces him to leave the hospital without telling Teri anything, Teri once again leaves with Alan York, who (unknown to Teri) has since killed Janet, to find Kim.
Teri eventually discovers that the man claiming to be Alan York is an impostor when Nina Myers phones her to tell her that a body Jack found is the real Alan York. The man posing as him is actually Kevin Carroll. She fakes being carsick to get him to pull the car over and uses that opportunity to escape. However, Kevin listens to a voicemail left by Gaines telling him that Teri has just learned that he is not Alan York. He goes to find her, but is knocked out by Teri with a rock. She ties him to a tree with cables and calls CTU for help. Agents come to pick her up, but they are in fact Gaines's men and instead take her to the compound where Kim is. Both collaborate to escape with Rick's help. One of Gaines's men, Eli attempts to rape Kim, but Teri offers herself instead, saying she won't fight him off. Eli accepts and takes Teri into another room. When they come back, Teri reveals that she was able to steal Eli's cell phone and uses it to call Jack, but he is unable to find them when the battery dies while running a trace on the phone. When Gaines orders Eli to kill her and Kim, Teri shoots him with a gun that was given to them by Rick, killing him. They hide his body and they are soon rescued after Jack has Kevin bring him to the compound. Rick steals one of the vans from Gaines and they all try to escape, but the van is shot out of commission. During the shootout, Jack orders Teri and Kim to take his GPS and run to where the CTU chopper will be arriving. The chopper soon arrives and they are flown to safety.
