- When a U.S. Navy ship containing secret surveillance becomes stranded in enemy waters, President Kirkman must negotiate the crew and ship's release. If captured, the technology on board would create a massive threat to national security. Meanwhile. Chief of Staff Emily Rhodes reconnects with someone from her childhood.
- The USS Verona, a naval destroyer, runs off course in bad weather and ventures three miles off the coast of Kunami, considered an unfriendly regime to the US, in the Persian Gulf. There, the ship collides with a Kunami garbage barge, rendering the Verona disabled, the Captain killed in the process in being sucked out of one of the resulting holes. The ship, regardless of the reason for it being in enemy waters, is seen by the Kunami government as a hostile act by the US. Tom, whose first priority to is bring the sailors home safely, wants to take a diplomatic approach so as not to escalate the rhetoric and thus the potential for war. Tom has to decide how far to go with diplomacy, especially if it doesn't seem to get them anywhere, before taking a more drastic approach. Things could change if Tom finds out the reason for the destroyer being where it is, and the true nature of the accident. Thrown into the mix are the actions of the acting Captain, Will Griffin. Meanwhile, Emily is overly preoccupied with the thought of reuniting with someone she has not seen in twenty-three years. That reunion switches between being bitter and sweet as that reunion extends to a tour of the White House. Despite Kendra quashing the subpoena against Eva, the legal battle for her continues, which Tom understands in John's need to seem impartial in his work for the FBI. Kendra thus wants unfettered access to Eva. The discussions between the two take a turn when Eva divulges some information which could place the Kirkmans in a bad light in the matter. And Hannah and Damian focus their attentions on Catherine Cray as the probable mastermind within the family of illegal arms deals and thus the chief suspect in Charlotte Thorn's murder. An incident outside of Hannah and Damian's interrogation of her may change the course of that interrogation.—Huggo
