Madam Secretary Recap Season 2, Ep 19

This episode called Ghost Detainees starts off like any typical Madam Secretary...with breakfast.  The McCord family, dressed in tasteful blues, greens and greys is eating toast in their charming Goergetown kitchen. Liveley banter abounds about Mom’s big speech at the UN, mocking mom’s love for her horse Buttercup, and of course, the eternal relevance of Hello Kitty—   But by the end of the show, Henry had ratted out his OWN WIFE to Amnesty International  Can you say, 'Passive Aggressive Henry?"      In terms of storyline, we go back to Russia with Madam Secretary working on a  coalition to stop the terrorists El-Shahib and Henry working to get answers from the terrorists Dinesh’s wife HJHJHJHJHJ.    But then the stories intertwine and more deals with the devil are made—or in this case, the Ghost of  of Dmitri Petrov appears in the form of Dmitri’s sick sister who is back in Russia and arrested. Remember, young Dmitri that Henry recruited and then abandoned in Moscow? Well, Henry feels really bad, it’s making him unhappy and crazy and,  frankly, kinda unsexy as he snaps at his wife over his work failing.      In the middle of the show, we had some excellent DC-speaks with phrases tossed about like:   The Shark Technique The Human Cost     But ultimately, Henry is OUT OF LINE. As if it's not bad enough that Buttercup needs to be put down—Henry busts his own wife to Amnesty International.
