It's certainly not a very glamorous swearing in, but it's got to be done. Is Tom wishing he was wearing something else. He probably never imagined he'd be sworn in as President wearing a hoodie.
After the shocking events, what better way to calm yourself than a hug and kiss from a loved one. But, Tom has work to do and Alex has to go. They'll see each other again, soon.
Tom and his wife, Alex's (Natascha McElhone) lives are turned upside down after the attack on the Capitol, but there's no time to dwell on it. Kirkman has to become President. It's not a choice.
Kirkman is meeting with his speechwriter Seth Wright (Kal Penn). What could you possibly say to the American people to calm them down in a situation like this?
Hannah looks like she's reflecting on the severity of the situation. How will she organize her team to get the answers they need in the quickest way possible?
Tom Kirkman (Kiefer Sutherland) is looking mighty serious as he ponders what he's going to say to the American people. What exactly can you say at a time like this?
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.
