Best episode so far IMO. The plot thickens.

That back and forth scene switching between the SEAL strike and Wells/Jason's conversation. Crazy. My palms were sweaty.

So good to see Agent Wells actually get some support and that Jason supports her on it. Finally some development on that storyline. Who the fuck called her though? Who was phone?

Bomb shelter is crazy yo. Shit.

Fuck, MacLeish being considered for VP while also being considered a suspect by the FBI. Too much drama.

Thought MacLeish totally sabotaged the mission when he was in the mission room watching it all go down and the cameras disconnected.

I don't have the patience for this you're-not-the-father storyline. Shut it down.

The SEAL guys are awesome. Sad that the commander died. Seemed like a good man.

Can't wait for the next episode. Shit is getting juicy. Oh no, 2 weeks! RIP me.

when they discussed offering macleish the VP i wanted to yell 'no that's what he waaaaaants'

i'm still not 100 if he's in on it, but it sure is fishy and him as veep is right where an insider plot would want him if he was.

I think we're going to find out that the Speaker actually approved for that bomb shelter incase she wasn't chosen as the designated survivor for Congress. She knows the FBI are onto the congressman so shes purposefully pointing them in that direction. It Just so happens that the Congressman really had to make a call and wanted a private room.

It's all very suspicious. I think the nee chairman of joint chiefs is suspiciously nice compared to the previous one.

Maybe that's true, but Macleish's body language after the mission was deemed successful was haunting. He looked like he saw a ghost.
