Plot summary
Liv questions the President about his role in the downed aircraft, but he refuses to confirm or deny his involvement, prompting Liv to work for Josie Marcus, which shocks Mellie and Cy. Rowan, realizing Jake is the one looking into Remington, plots to have him killed while pushing Cy to take down Marcus. Marcus’ campaign desperately needs money and endorsements, but she prefers to play nice, prompting Liv’s team to use a fake ad to toughen her image in front of the national media. Cy tries to turn Harrison against Liv by threatening to give a visa to Adnan Salif, a person by which Harrison fears to be killed, but it fails.
Cy orders to give him a visa. Jake meets with his contact whom he asked to look for evidence on Remington, but it turns out to be Rowan’s trap to kill Jake, who is saved by a man sent by the President. Cy learns of Sally Langston’s treachery while Rowan is slowly turning a deranged Quinn into an assassin through Charlie.
