SPOILER ALERT
Some B plots move the story forward and add to the overall sense of constantly rising stakes and tension. Some B plots involve Dana Walsh and her inexplicable past that didn't prevent her from getting a high-level government security job but who also did such a bad job covering it up that her ex-con ex-boyfriend just sort of found her. In a show like 24, you have to fill time, and sometimes, that filler just make you want to cringe in disgust.
