- While on a secret mission to Afghanistan, President Kirkman meets with two infamous warlords and must determine whom he can trust to hand over territories to the United States, while Seth has a run-in with Washington D.C. police that puts his job, reputation and future in the White House on the line.
- Tom, accompanied by a small contingent - Aaron as assistant/strategist, and Mike as security - is on a secret two day mission to Afghanistan, specifically Bagram. Outwardly, the trip is for Tom to thank personally on behalf of the American people the troops serving the country. The concurrent secret mission, with strategic issues handled by Hannah, is to meet individually with two feuding Afghan warlords, Mullah Bahri and Mullah Fayad, arguably the two most powerful in the region. Tom wants to set up a strategic alliance with one in an effort to take control of the conflict and hopefully bring the American troops home in the thus far close to twenty year American involvement. However, Hannah and her team have discovered through monitoring of chatter that one of the two is planning an attack on US soil, it uncertain which one. If Tom makes the wrong choice of with who to set up the alliance, he could be handing that person a free pass for that attack to happen. When a major incident occurs on the trip, further circumstantial evidence begins to point to the one planning the terrorist attack, which is one more factor but not a decisive piece on which to make a definitive decision. Hannah and Mike are tasked with another aspect of dealing with the incident, which may not be a comfortable working relationship in their differing views of how holistically to serve and protect the President. Meanwhile, Emily is in charge at the White House, her main task, with Seth and Lyor's assistance, to ensure that the goings-on in the President's absence run smoothly, but perhaps more importantly that the press corps and thus the American people do not know that Tom is away at all. Emily's tasks end up being made all the more difficult as issues arise concerning both Seth and Lyor, legal issues which require Kendra's expertise to mitigate. While Lyor's is more a personal one that would cost him financially and be more of an embarrassment than anything, Seth's is one, if it comes to light, which could cost him his job, that specific incident which includes being stopped by a DC police officer while out with his visiting brother, Mike, the two celebrating Mike's recent MCAT results.—Huggo
