The Oval” Season 6 Episode 19 turns the White House bunker into a full-blown horror chamber, delivering one of the wildest instalments of the season. From explosive family violence to political power plays, the episode proves that the First Family is far beyond redemption, and everyone around them might be just as unhinged.

The hour picks up right where last week left off and things only get more deranged from there.

A Bloodbath in the Bunker

Inside the bunker, the twisted triangle of Hunter, Victoria, and Jason spirals into pure madness. Jason, already deep into his violent psychosis, continues his attack on Victoria. She lies on the concrete floor, motionless, blood pooling beside her, and Jason demands that Hunter let him “finish the job.”

Jason taunts his father, reminding Hunter of his own hate for Victoria. He tries to twist that hatred into permission: “Pick a side,” he says, promising that watching someone die slowly is a thrill. It’s chilling, especially when the episode flashes back to Jason murdering Jean and his grandmother, reminders of just how far gone he’s been for years.

Hunter, still gripping Jason with fading strength, keeps saying, “Hold on, baby,” to Victoria. Instead of calming things, his desperation only unsettles Jason further. The bizarre tenderness makes everything feel even more unhinged, like a toxic love story unfolding in a crime scene.

But Jason is right about one thing: Hunter’s grip is weakening. He keeps taunting his father until finally Hunter hesitates long enough for Jason to break free.

And then the twist hits.

Victoria, very much alive, rips the knife from her side with an almost superhuman calmness. Jason, too focused on celebrating his “victory,” doesn’t even see her move. As he leans in to inspect her body, she springs up and begins stabbing him back. Both of them, mother and son, are slashing at each other like animals while Hunter yells helplessly for help.

The Secret Service? Still nowhere to be found. At this point, it’s become a running joke in the show: They are always late, always missing, and always useless.

Jason and Victoria’s knife fight becomes the centrepiece of the episode; violent, unhinged, and impossible to look away from. By the time they both collapse from exhaustion and blood loss, the bunker looks like a crime documentary reenactment and still, not a single agent has entered the room.

Donald Plans a Presidential Run

While chaos unfolds underground, Donald and Kyle sit upstairs discussing the muffled screams echoing through the White House.

Kyle hears Hunter begging for help and wonders if the First Family is being tortured. Donald, unfazed, calls Hunter stupid for getting himself into this bunker situation in the first place. Then he drops a bombshell: he’s planning to run for president.

Kyle seems confused because hasn’t Donald been talking about this plan for years? But Donald insists this time is different; this run is real. The only thing he’s worried about is whether America would accept a gay president. Still, he claims he’s ready.

Kyle believes Donald knows more than he’s saying, especially when he brings up “Constance” and hints at secret political maneuvers happening behind the scenes. The two also begin discussing escape routes should things go south, which, in this world, they always do.

The Money Problem

Meanwhile, Sharon and Dale continue their storyline involving the stolen money. Sharon is adamant they need to return the cash to Kareen’s place because she fears there’s a tracker inside and that the cartel-like enemies will come looking for it.

Dale wants to keep it, but Sharon refuses. It’s clear she’s terrified of what carrying this money could bring. Their bickering gets interrupted when Nancy calls them to pick her up from jail.

Nancy Is Home!

Nancy walks out of jail acting like she just came from a spa weekend. She slides into the car with Sharon and Dale and immediately starts listing all the errands she wants to run: visit the funeral home, get groceries, make plans. She’s talking a mile a minute, like nothing catastrophic has happened.

Sharon is confused, how is Nancy planning a funeral when she just gave away all their money? Did she save anything? Nancy doesn't give a clear answer, which only adds another layer of uncertainty.

Later, Priscilla tries to convince Richard to talk to Nancy, but he refuses to entertain the idea. He’s still furious, and honestly, who can blame him? After everything Nancy has done, Richard can’t just pretend their marriage is magically repaired. Priscilla thinks everything is “finally over,” but Richard tells her plainly: as long as the chaos in the bunker stays hidden, nothing is over, and he’s right!

Max, Bobby, and the Woman They’re Unsure About

Max calls Bobby to ask a favour; he wants Bobby to “get to know” Constance. Not romantically, well, not necessarily. But he wants Bobby close to her to gather intel. He needs to know who she is and whether she can be trusted.

Sam later tells Max that Constance is “solid,” insisting she’s someone to trust. But Max isn’t convinced. Constance has worked with several presidents; she says she’s fully vetted, and she seems confident no one can dig up dirt on her. But when she calls Sam and somehow knows Max is standing right beside him, it raises serious suspicions. How did she know who was in the room?

If she has access to that sort of surveillance, why didn’t she know the First Family was trapped in the bunker? Something doesn’t add up and Max knows it.

Alonzo Tries to Help but Allan Won’t Listen

Another key storyline features Alonzo stopping by to warn Allan. But Allan has changed—his arrogance and anger have taken over. Now that he’s Chief of Staff, he thinks he’s untouchable. Alonzo tries to warn him that being elevated this fast is suspicious, but Allan lashes out, accusing him of jealousy.

It’s the same anger we saw from Allan earlier in the season, the unpredictable temper that makes him dangerous to everyone around him. He’s walking right into a trap, and he’s too proud to see it.

Ending Thoughts

Episode 19 is one of the most chaotic, shocking, and unhinged episodes of Season 6. The bunker scenes alone deliver enough drama to fuel an entire season, while the subplots continue setting up betrayals, power struggles, and dangerous alliances.

With Victoria and Jason lying stabbed, Hunter screaming for help, Donald preparing to run for president, Nancy acting as if nothing happened, and Constance’s mysterious aura tightening around the White House, everything is spiralling toward a massive Season 6 finale.

If this episode proves anything, it’s that no one in "The Oval" is safe, not even from themselves.
