A slightly less explosive episode of Designated Survivor - 1.14 - easy to do, in view of the surprise killing of VP by his wife, and her following suicide, last week. This weeks was a good time to shuffle the desk a little, with a variety of changes including- Aaron out and Emily in as the President's Chief of Staff. Kirkman is understandably suspicious of him, and we're given at least some reason to think this ourselves at the end of the episode, but I'm still not buying it. I think Aaron will come down as a good guy before the season concludes. In the meantime, it's good to see Emily dressed up for her new, more important position.
- Kirkman's wife and kids are off to Camp David. Actually, this strikes me as a bad idea, and not just because Kirkman will miss them. I think his family is indeed safer in the White House than up in isolated Camp David, where I predict we'll see them attacked by helicopter or whatever before the season is over.
- There are some brand new, old players afoot - new, in that we haven't seen them before, old in that they are a former Secretary of State and a former President. The former President, especially, should have some interesting story lines - including his take not only on Kirkman but who was behind the explosion.
