Designated Survivor Season 1 Episode 1 was everything we expected and more. We saw how Tom Kirkman's life was turned upside down in a matter of moments, but what happens after his address to the American people?
Based on these photos, he's taking the bull by the horns by visiting ground zero. It's a lot to take in, but he seems to be handling it well. Alex joins him as does his staff, including Emily, who finally is where she's supposed to be!
But something appears to go wrong. What could have happened?
Whatever the threat, it's not keeping Tom from doing his duty as he goes back to ground zero later in the evening.
It's definitely going to be interesting to see how Tom handles his first day as President of the United States.
Check out these photos from Designated Survivor Season 1 Episode 2, "The First Day", which airs on Wednesday, September 28, at 9/8c on ABC.
