Ritorno a casa – 2° parte («No nukes is good nukes»)

Attacco all’Air Force One («Wind beneath my wing»)

Nel primo episodio della settimana, Mac cerca di impedire che l’incidente del sottomarino Seattle provochi un conflitto con la Corea del Nord.

A questo proposito si rivelerà molto utile l’ambasciatore cinese, con il quale parla anche Templeton.

Nel secondo episodio, il Presidente inaugura nel North Carolina la biblioteca intitolata a Ted Bridges, il suo predecessore.

Intanto, un uomo armato prende il controllo dell’Air Force One.

State of theUnions

While Mac is busy working on her first State of the Union address, Rod becomes a tad tipsy and is found in compromising position with an intern for all the world to see. Meanwhile, Templeton sets out to find a way to sabotage Mac’s Homeless Initiative Bill. Plus, Dickie and Jayne, who has gone back to being Templeton’s chief-of-staff, go out on a dinner date.

The Price You Pay

Mac decides to stand by her friend and Attorney General nominee, Carl Brantley, after he gets hammered in his confirmation hearings. A cargo plane which contains military weapons goes missing over Pakistan and it’s up to Vice President Keaton to resolve the situation. Meanwhile, Rod tries to settle in the domestic life, but soon faces a crisis when Kate is nowhere to be found.

Ties that Bind

Mac wants her Attorney General to look into an urban situation in Maryland because it’s where Gardner is from. Mac is also briefed on the situation of the missing surface-to-air missiles that went down in a military plane crash over Pakistan and has to make sure that the weapons do not end up in the hands of terrorists. Templeton is ralling support for the Templeton Act which focuses on domestic crime and Mac is threatening to use her veto power in the hopes for more law enforcement and education over the bill’s calls for tougher sentencing. Dickie learns that Vince is planning a commitment ceremony with his partner and he warns him not to invite Mac because it might hurt her in the polls.
