Even though FBI Agent Hannah Wells (Maggie Q) has state-of-the-art equipment at her disposal, it's not going to be easy doing what she has to do. The pressure is on. The President wants answers! So do the American people!
For a guy who's about to address the nation, he's handling it quite well. He has no choice in the matter at the moment, so it's best he does present a calm exterior. Besides, it's Kiefer Sutherland and he can do anything!
It's not going to be easy for Hannah and her team to find answers to the day's events. Will someone claim responsibility? What will the White House's response be?
White House Chief of Staff Aaron Shore (Adan Canto) looks like he's ready to go with whatever is thrown at him. He doesn't even look a bit fazed at what just happened. A sign of a true professional.
Seth and Alex look like they're getting along great for two people just thrown together. Makes sense that he would be getting input from the First Lady. Who knows the President better than she?
No more hoodie for Mr. President. He looks ready to take on his new job, though he probably could get things done no matter what he was wearing. What is he going to say to the American people?
Before the catastrophic events later in the day, Tom was just the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. He's at a meeting with his chief of staff, Emily Rhodes (Italia Ricci) to talk about the upcoming State of the Union address.
Mike Ritter (LaMonica Garrett) is prepared to do whatever is necessary to protect the President of the United States. He definitely doesn't look like the kind of guy you'd want to mess with.
The severety of the situation doesn't seem to be affecting Kirkman's kids, Leo (Tanner Buchanan) and Penny (McKenna Grace). Are they even aware of what just happened?
Alex: Tom, you can't do that. You can't make promises you won't be able to keep. Tom: We're in Washington. They're the only promises you're allowed to make.
