Plot summary
After an incident of Hindu violence against Muslims in India, Elizabeth gets word that Pakistan might be willing to discuss a mutual anti-nuclear agreement with India, so she convinces Conrad that the US should pursue the agreement rather than attack India's tepid response to the violence. Henry, speaking at an academic symposium, harshly criticizes India's actions, leading that country's leadership to withdraw their willingness to discuss anything with Pakistan. Elizabeth cobbles together a package of trade enticements to lure them back to the table, and an agreement is quickly reached. As dignitaries gather to sign the memorandum, an American white supremacy group attacks the Oval Office with an RPG. Stevie is seriously injured and June, Russell's acting secretary, is killed. Later, the signing is completed and Elizabeth speaks about the dangers of nationalism as opposed to patriotism.
