Episode #1.8

Despite giving him an emphatic no as a response, Kathryn is still contemplating accepting Max's offer, as those around her can see. She has to weigh the pros and cons of accepting the offer. Part of the consideration is what deal Max has struck with Angela Howard for his support, and Caden's welfare, he who is being released from the hospital. What Caden himself ends up doing once released may be outside of his conscious control, as someone new into his life knows all too well, while he and Orla have to decide if there is a future for them. Maggie, on her deathbed, is still trying to convince Caden, through Kathryn, to tell the complete story on the record. And the election is fast approaching, the polls showing that the race is too close to call, an Angela Howard victory which could drastically change the face of the country in ways she has not told the electorate. As he usually does, Max is leaving the country in the middle of the election, this time to see if he and Sofia can mend the issues in their marriage in the lead up to the birth of their son.
