Sitting back with your eyes closed?

Doesnt that seem reasonable?

For now, well have settle for fiction.

One that could cause you to pay dearly.

That woman, Charlotte Thorne, happened to be a member of Parliament and a potential future prime minister.

Meanwhile, Alex is choosing a lawyer for her mom because bribes.

Then again, thats reality these days, so who am I to judge?

YALL, it doesnotgo over well.

Alex meets with Kendra because lawyers with aggression are the way to go.

Does that make sense?

Not really, but hey, sure, why not?

God, why isntMikepresident?

When they go to inspect the boat (Hannah, stay away from boats, girl!

), shes almost attacked by a man before hes shot by Damian.

Hannahs alive, so back to Suckergate.

The plan moving forward is to appeal to the American people by letting Kirkman be reasonable and accessible.

While thats in the works, Alex decides to attend the subpoena hearing for her mother.

And not only that she also decides to chime in as co-counsel because who cares about ethics here?

Kendra calls a 10-minute recess because Alex is BONKERS.

With 20 minutes left, how will this get resolved?

Oh, you just wait.

Kirkman isntlovingit, but he knows that he has to move on it.

And this judge loves the law, so she decides that this subpoena doesnt hold weight and squashes it.

Speaking of Hannah, shes interrupted by Damian, mid-wine.

There are worse people to be interrupted by, and even Agent Wells admits that she doesnt hate Damian.

But then she doesnt because shes a woman with needs.

But then she stops it again because her phone rings and its Aaron.

He needs to see them because they have a new suspect in the Thorne case.

And he calls the American people suckers because they believe in the American dream.

But if theyre suckers, then so is he because HE BELIEVES IN AMERICA TOO.

Its, like, a lot guys.

Maggie Q is tired.

If youre like me, youre also probably kind of tired.

Anyway, his wife has ovarian cancer and he cheated on her.

What a standup salt-and-pepper god of NO MORALS.

Shes an advocate for her cause because her husband laundered money and undermined her way back when.

Apparently, Kirkman has dirt on everyone, but he only has it so he canempathizewith them.

No, seriously, thats it.

Do you feel like a sucker?

I kind of do.

And I didnt even need President Kirkman to say it for me to realize it.
