- When a senator appears on the national news and misrepresents a private conversation with the president, Kirkman must win back the American people's trust, while MI-6 Agent Damian Rennett joins forces with FBI Agent Hannah Wells to help solve an international murder.
- Tom and those at the White House are facing two crises. First, British MP Charlotte Thorn, in DC for a G20 meeting, is shot dead while jogging in a local park. In addition to Hannah, Damian returns on behalf of the British government to investigate. Because Thorn was scheduled to make a damning speech on the illegal arms trade, Hannah and Damian, stemming from a discussion with the Brits, turn to Darius Cray as their first suspect, he an arms dealer who coincidentally also happens to be in town. And second, Tom is looking for bipartisan support for a pension bailout package sponsored by the Democrats. He turns to a friend, Republican Senator Alan Rouse with who he plays recreational hockey, for that support from the other side of the aisle. Despite believing such a bailout is charity in which the government should not be involved, Rouse gives Tom his support behind closed doors. However, Rouse goes to the media speaking against the bailout, but more importantly makes a statement of fact of something Tom said in that behind closed door discussion which makes it sound like Tom believes the American public is a bunch of suckers as Rouse takes the statement out of context. Previously seen as being an advocate for the average Joe and Jane, this statement by Rouse could derail Tom's entire agenda as his base begins to desert him. Hannah and Damian finding Thorn's killer could help change the channel to a positive message. Beyond discovering why Rouse, a supposed friend, turned on him, Tom, with Lyor and Emily's advice, has to decide what to do, and whether he should shoot below the belt against Rouse as a defense as Lyor wants. Meanwhile, Alex is looking for the appropriate legal counsel to represent her mother in the bribery case, which John has launched. Alex is not totally comfortable with who she eventually chooses based on Tom's suggestion. She does not realize that she may harm her mother's case more than help it as she becomes too emotionally involved in the proceedings.—Huggo
