Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Kyle's family was having money diffilculties with his mother Helen sick and his father Sam having recently lost his job. Kyle hoped to provide for his family by smuggling a shipment of cocaine from Hector Salazar's business into the U.S. from Mexico.

Kyle used the money he'd been paid in advance to pay for the family's rent. When his mother demanded to know where he'd gotten the money, Kyle's girlfriend Linda found the cocaine and stormed out.

Jack Bauer and Chase Edmunds had been tracking Kyle and sent HAZMAT units over to the Singer's home in order to apprehend the cocaine, which they believed contained the Cordilla virus. When CTU discovered that the bag holding the cocaine had been torn, they declared a quarantine in the Singer's apartment. Eventually, it was determined that the virus was not in the cocaine, and that the cocaine itself was actually silicone. Jack suggested the possibility that Kyle himself had been infected while he was in Mexico, and that the Salazars were using him as a carrier for the virus.

CTU tracked Kyle to a local mall by tracing a phone call with his father. Kyle didn't believe his father when he told Kyle about the virus. He believed that he was still transporting cocaine, and called Linda to ask her for money to pay off the drug dealers. While he was at the mall, he was confronted by Tony Almeida, but Tony was shot by one of the Salazars' men before he could apprehend Kyle. Kyle and Linda were then captured by the terrorists and put into an incubation chamber.

While in the chamber, Kyle discovered what was happening, and decided to try and kill himself before the incubation period of the virus was over, but Linda saved him.

Kim Bauer and Adam Kaufman eventually tracked Kyle's location using video footage of his abduction. He and Linda were saved by CTU field agents and Kyle was put into a containment unit at the hospital. Believing his death to be imminent, Kyle had a tearful reunion with his parents, and everyone apologized for their mistakes.

Dr. Nicole Duncan conducted tests on Kyle and realized he wasn't infected. He was released to his family. Later in the day, it was revealed that the bioterrorist threat from Kyle Singer was part of an elaborate sting operation by Jack, Tony, and Gael Ortega. The fake threat was meant to distract CTU so that Jack could escape with Ramon Salazar, in an elaborate sting operation in order to get to Michael Amador, the true controller of the virus.
