A high-profile murder has Sam and her team chasing an elusive killer... Just back from their anniversary trip to Dewey Beach, there’s no slow roll back to work for the first couple as Sam is immediately thrust into a baffling new case that has everyone on edge. The FBI wants in on this one, and she’s determined to figure out what happened before they can take over her investigation. Avery Hill and his team is also nosing in on the new investigation into Stahl’s nefarious past, forcing her to go on defense as she strives to protect her team and her beloved Uncle Joe from intense criticism. In the midst of the new case, she’s got to put on her first lady hat for the Canadian Prime Minister and his wife, who are in town for the Cappuano administration’s first State Dinner. Once they get through that event, Sam and Nick will finally meet with Nick’s mother, who's asked for a chance to make things right with her son. With all of that going on, who has time to breathe let alone give an in-depth interview designed to stop the “illegitimate president” nonsense once and for all?
