The previous episode of Designated Survivor gave the viewers a glimpse of what could come. They one-hour episode detailed on three points: President Kirkman's frustrated side when the Supreme Court was not coming to a settlement; Abe Leonard's mission to find out about the bombing and Agent Wells's adventures in North Dakota.
However, the second episode is going to largely deal with Abe's investigation. It does seem like the investigative journalist is going to get one step closer to the uncovering the truth behind the Capitol bombing.
The synopsis of the episode reveals three crucial pointers:
President Kirkman considers candidates for the vice presiden's position. It is definite that Kimble Hookstraten is one among the potential candidates. But the synopsis reveals that the show will not let Hookstraten take over so easy. In a twist of events, Madam Speaker land herself in a messy scandal that may result in her exit from the list creating more mess for President Kirkman.
On the other side, Agent Wells and Jason Atwood will return to the drama unveiling around Kirkman with important leads into the conspiracy. But it is not only the duo that have their hands on the information, journalist Abe Leonard's nose also sniffs out information that could likely get him closer to the Capitol bombings.
But there is more to the episode than the mere plot summary. According to promos, something very very bad is going to happen. The trailer teases that President Kirkman might come to know who is the inside source, who is leaking out information and the promo confirms it is someone of his own. "President is betrayed by one of his own. The traitor will finally be revealed," the promo said at the end.
Who could it be? To know, watch Designated Survivor's season 1 episode 18.
