After a hostile attack on a British vessel, seasoned diplomat Kate Wyler assumes a new role in the UK that puts her skills — and marriage — to the test.

As new details about the bombing emerge, Kate struggles to see eye-to-eye with Hal. Prime Minister Trowbridge's fiery remarks at a funeral cause a stir.

In London, Hal's actions cause friction as Kate heads to Paris with Dennison to get a handle on the Lenkov situation, which soon takes a shocking turn.
