Shes hired some guys to rig up the building where Zapata and Boston a.k.a.
the Fake Del Toro will be doing the hacking.
Shes truly one of the most sinister villains this show has seen.

So, they come up with a different plan and set up a meeting with Madeline.
Its a plan that works, but it doesnt come without its consequences.
Madeline has to pivot.
Either way shes a liar.
I need to know which kind, she says.
That means Madeline fabricated the files, planning to leak them after the plane crashed to ruin Bradley Dynamics.
Thats when Young reveals something shocking.
The contract wasnt for a number of jumbo airliners.
It was for one specific plane: Air Force One.
Thats right, Madeline is targeting the plane typically meant for the President of the United States.
Its in the air right now, on the way to its inaugural flight.
The president isnt on board, but a lot of his staff are.
Theres also one other twist here: Weitz is on the plane too.
Theyve been found out, which means they need to escape as soon as possible.
Thats when Boston steps in with a steel chair shot to the back.
So I watch professional wrestling, he says.
You try being on house arrest.
Plus, its like gayFantasia.
They get into the cockpit and confirm that the pilots have no control over the plane.
They make a run at reboot the system, but Del Toro is one step ahead.
He cuts off the air pressure to the cabin, rendering everyone unconscious.
That should be cause for celebration, but theres a problem.
Shell stay behind and push the button to finish the job.
Its an emotional scene.
If something happens, tell Reade… she says before trailing off.
I will, replies Boston.
He frantically calls Rich and tells him to turn the server back on.
Then, the building blows.
Madelines plan hasnt worked, but she can still destroy the evidenceandZapata.
Boston is blown back, still on the phone.
Im sorry, he says to the team before seeing Zapata emerge from the dust, alive and well.
I told you, how hard could it be to push one key?
Rich hugs it out with Reade.
Heres to the people we care about still being alive!
For his role in thwarting the attack, Bostons house arrest is lifted.
Weitz is also given his job back.
Firing the guy who just saved Air Force One wouldnt look so great on the administration.
There are still some puzzles to figure out, though.
There are still quite a few mysteries out there.
