Plot summary
With an opportunity to end the trade embargo with Cuba, Elizabeth and Russell convince the president to support their efforts. Sterling, who disagrees, goes behind their backs to scuttle the plan. When the deal hinges on a 1960s revolutionary who Cuba refuses to return, Elizabeth offers the woman a new trial and a chance to have her message heard across the country. She gives herself up, the embargo is lifted, and the U.S. reopens its embassy after 54 years.
