; Throughout the series, he wavers in his decision whether to confirm Judge Wallace Rainer to the Supreme Court or not, believing he is part of the conspiracy and is using Sara kidnapping as leverage to force him confirm Rainer. When he believed that Sara was killed, he stood firm in his stance to not confirm him; however, Agent Graham Kelton informed him that the murder scene was staged. Believing that he was going to vote against the nomination, one of the kidnappers named Morrel threatened to kill Sara right in front of his eyes. Jeffrey does so, but is astounded when the kidnappers don't release Sara. Agent Lucas then tells him that the whole kidnapping was a wider plot whose main objective was to release a death-row criminal who could decipher an important message for the kidnappers.

Sara Collins

Sara Collins is the second wife of Senator Jeffrey Collins, and her disappearance spurs the events that drive the plot of the series. Prior to her abduction Sara was a Kindergarten teacher. She met Jeffrey Collins when he visited the school as part of his senatorial campaign. After the event Jeffrey asked her out on a date. While his campaign often interfered with their schedule, Jeffrey eventually proposed to Sara. She accepted and they got married. Many people credited Jeffrey's subsequent win to his marriage to Sara boosting his image as a family man. Later, she became an owner of a charity centered towards helping troubled children. Before she disappeared, she sent her stepson, Max, to a rehab facility. Unbeknownst to Jeffery, this was the same facility that she was sent to as a teenager. While there she was tortured, but was able to escape. Following Sara's abduction, the FBI opened an investigation, with Special Agent Graham Kelton called in to head the case.

However while delivering ransom to the kidnapper, the kidnapper pulled an explosive device killing Nathen Miller and critically injuring Kelton. He spent almost a year in the hospital, leaving him in a coma for 4 months. He returned to work few weeks before Sara Collins vanished. When it was believed that Sara Collins was dead, Kelton was forced to take a leave of absence from his position. After realizing that Sara was alive, Kelton tried to alert Senator Collins but was shot. The last thing he saw before he died was a hallucination of Sara over him.
