The Mysterious Call
The episode kicks off with tension already at its peak. Donald rushes to inform Cal about a shocking development—Hunter is on the line. Cal, however, is skeptical. He insists that Hunter couldn’t possibly have connected, given the security measures in place. To settle the debate, Cal calls James for confirmation. James assures him that all lines are secure, leaving everyone baffled. How did Hunter manage to breach the system? The question lingers, setting the stage for a whirlwind of chaos.
Chaos in the Oval Office
As Donald storms into the Oval Office, he’s met with a scene straight out of a nightmare. Victoria and Eli are found hanging, lifeless. Max, visibly shaken, checks for a pulse but feels nothing. The room erupts into pandemonium as medics are called in. The air is thick with tension, and the stakes have never been higher. The Oval Office, once a symbol of power, now feels like a crime scene.
Richard’s Descent into Fury
Meanwhile, Richard is grappling with his own personal hell. The revelation of his wife’s affair with his father has left him seething with rage. In a fit of anger, he declares that he wants to kill her, even boasting that this wouldn’t be his first shooting. But his fury reaches new heights when he discovers that his wife has drained all his accounts. Betrayed and financially crippled, Richard’s world is crumbling around him, and his next move is anyone’s guess.
Lily's Calculated Moves
Simone and Bobby arrive, completely unaware of the chaos that has engulfed the White House. Simone, ever the inquisitive one, presses Lily for answers. But the conversation takes an unexpected turn when Lily turns the tables, probing into Simone and Bobby’s relationship. Simone, caught off guard, quickly shuts down the inquiry, leaving more questions than answers.
The Code Word: Red Arrow
Alan tries to stop Simone from heading to the Oval Office, warning her that it’s under high alert. But Simone is undeterred. She recalls the agent outside mentioning the code word “Red Arrow.” Lily, realizing the gravity of the situation, explains that the code means Eli, the acting president, is down. Without hesitation, both women push past Alan and sprint toward the Oval Office, their determination palpable.
The Urgent Meeting
Inside the Oval Office, Sam, Donald, and others convene for an urgent meeting. The atmosphere is tense as Sam emphasizes that not a single word of what’s happening should leave the room. Everyone nods in agreement, but the weight of the situation is evident on their faces. Sam turns to Donald, demanding answers. Donald recounts the mysterious call from Hunter, admitting that they have no idea how it happened, the breach in security is a glaring vulnerability, and the team knows they must act fast to uncover the truth.
Simone’s Accusations
Donald informs Simone that Eli has been taken to the infirmary due to his injuries. Simone, however, is quick to point fingers, accusing Donald of being behind the attack. Donald vehemently denies the allegations, but Simone remains unconvinced. She turns to Bobby for confirmation, but he’s evasive, stating that while he doesn’t believe it was Donald, he can’t provide any further details. The tension between the characters is palpable, and trust is in short supply.
Nancy and Priscilla’s Exchange
In another corner of the White House, Nancy reaches out to Priscilla, confirming that Richard’s wife has indeed emptied his accounts. Priscilla, ever the opportunist, excuses herself when summoned by the chief of staff. But before she leaves, Nancy drops a tantalizing hint—she has a gift for Priscilla, threatening to give it to Sharon if Priscilla doesn’t return her call. The exchange is brief but loaded with implications, hinting at deeper schemes at play.
Priscilla’s New Mission
Donald then calls Priscilla, tasking her with a critical mission. He instructs her to go upstairs and communicate with Hunter, hoping to uncover what’s really going on. Priscilla, ever the loyal operative, agrees without hesitation. Her role in the unfolding drama is becoming increasingly pivotal, and her next moves could change the course of events.
Simone’s Calculated Revenge
In a chilling final scene, Simone takes matters into her own hands. She cunningly sends the nurse away from the room where Eli and Victoria are intubated. With a cold, calculated demeanor, she injects something into Victoria’s infusion, muttering “bitch” under her breath. As if that weren’t enough, she manipulates the buttons on the machine connected to the tubes, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats. Simone’s actions are shrouded in mystery, but one thing is clear—she’s not to be underestimated.
