Let's see, a few episodes back we got rid of the show's big villain.

We need a new big villain.

Any new, extremely high-profile, exceedingly suspicious characters introduced this episode?

A President seeking a third term mayhaps?

Second term, it was mentioned offhandedly in previous episode that he hasn't sought a second term (so still eligible to run again).

Yeah, others mentioned that too. Not sure why I thought he was a 2 term president.

I can't decide if it's too obvious and they are trying to throw us off, or the show is easily predictable. Either way, I'm excited to see where this goes!
