designated survivor episode 9
People were all types of mad at anniversary added in this week's advancing Designated Survivor! Americans were mad at Mexicans, cousins were mad at cousins, the First Lady was mad at an FBI abettor and Lyor (Paulo Costanzo) was accidentally mad at an age-old vase!
But no one will be as mad as Tom Kirkman (Kiefer Sutherland) will be at his mother-in-law Eva (Bonnie Bedelia) if she is abaft all these adumbral deals the appearance is alluding to. To be honest, it's a little ambagious as to what's activity on -- partly because the appearance is affective at an accelerated clip and partly because there isn't abundant dumbing bottomward of the political abracadabra -- so let's try and accomplish faculty of it together, OK?
As we activate out in aftermost week's episode, Hannah (Maggie Q) doubtable that Eva acclimated her position as a secretary at the Department of Aegis to bang her bedmate up the affection displace account in barter for central advice on a abeyant mega aegis arrangement way aback in 1987. In this episode, Eva accepted it, to Alex's (Natascha McElhone) shock. Alex owes Hannah an apology, methinks.
Hannah's bang-up John Forstell (Reed Diamond) subpoenaed Eva, and aback Hannah went to accord him a allotment of her mind, John alone addition big bit o' info: addition aegis arrangement for Icarus Astrotech -- the aforementioned aggregation that Eva helped get a acknowledged bid decades ago -- went through aloof afterwards Lloyd's Pentagon hack. The signator? Eric Little, the aforementioned guy who oversaw the arrangement that Eva got her easily bedraggled on, and the aforementioned guy who is now dead.
Designated Survivor Tackled Racism Head on With Interesting Results
There's an association actuality that Eva could be somehow complex in added adumbral dealings, but I don't anticipate so. First, it's Bonnie Bedelia! She's way too nice! Second, the appellation "circumstantial" has been befuddled about so abundant that it's engrained in my brain, and abutting Eva to this arrangement seems like such a amplitude I wouldn't alike apperceive area to activate with.
The abstraction of bringing Eva's mistakes from the 1980s aback to the ahead in adjustment to accident Kirkman is difficult to swallow, so Lloyd may absolutely be targeting addition else. Could addition being in Kirkman's close amphitheater be complex in this? Could Lloyd accept addition birthmark central the White House that would befoul Kirkman's presidency? Whatever the case is, things are absolutely added than meets the eye and we'll accept to delay until abutting anniversary to see the abutting footfall in Lloyd's plan.
Designated Survivor affectedness Wednesday nights at 10/9c on ABC.
