FSince the death of the First Lady, Kirkman has been ineffective, actually vindictive. In this episode we see hm do several things that would go against the guy who wanted everyone treated equally. Apparently, he is missing obligatory trips, not reading his briefings, and failing to sign legislation. His daughter is getting into trouble at her school. He isn't seeing the forest for the trees because of his intense anger.

Perfect timing for Audrey to join the show after the First Lady died. This show is like if Jack Bauer went into politics instead of becoming a federal agent. Parallel universe.

I have been asking for the show to take its politics more seriously, but in tonight's episode that might have been more of a detriment than an advantage. Ignoring the clear shots at our real life President with Kirkman's strong stance on Russia, the NASA push and the hacking of rockets was just too ridiculous.

An argument between the President and the former Secretary of State could be a good arc, but only if it unleashes more confrontational Kirkman, like we saw when he confronted the driver who killed his wife.
