The Diplomat season two introduces a major development that shakes up Kate's hopes of becoming the Vice President.
Keri Russell's diplomatic journey becomes more challenging as she tries to solve the British aircraft carrier attack and manages its fallout.
In the season finale, Grace Penn reveals to Kate that she orchestrated the attack to stop Scottish secession, leaving Kate in shock.
Kate tries to report Grace's actions to the State Department while trying to give up her own bid for the VP post.
But Kate's plan backfires when Hal tells President William Rayburn about Grace's history of orchestrating the attack, which leads to the President's death.
Following President Rayburn's death, Grace Penn becomes the President of the United States, and the VP position is open, but it may not be Kate's for the taking.
The timing and circumstances of the season two ending feel uncanny as it premiered five days before the US presidential election.
Netflix's 'The Diplomat' is a political drama with a familiar yet soapy plot and has already been renewed for a third season.
