- It's Christmastime and President Kirkman is alerted to a group of religious extremists who refuse to evacuate when a forest fire threatens to engulf their cabin. Deploying Emily and Aaron to help diffuse the situation, Kirkman must act quickly to save multiple lives at stake. Meanwhile, the First Lady finally gives her testimony to the FBI director, while what happens next changes the lives of the Kirkman family forever.
- It's the Christmas season. There's a group of young carolers trying to bring cheer to those at the White House, the President and staff who are all too preoccupied to enjoy the festivities as of yet. Tom and the senior staff are dealing with a wildfire in Virginia that has been burning now for close to a month. The decision has been made to let the fire burn itself out as the most ecologically friendly course of action. However, there is a group of Christian religious extremists in the path of the fire, they who refuse to leave their forest retreat as a pseudo means of protest against the court decision to let the authorities take custody of Grace Morgan, the six-month old daughter of congregant Carey Morgan. Grace requires a surgery to save her life which involves a blood transfusion in which the church does not believe. The small group of twenty will voluntarily leave once Grace is returned to Carey's custody before any medical intervention is done that goes against their teachings. Tom and his staff have to find the right balance between respecting religious freedoms, respecting the role of a parent and wanting to do what's "right" for a baby who otherwise has no power in the matter, all the while trying to save lives, whether it be the twenty holed up in the woods, those on the front line who are dealing with the twenty and are risking their lives in the process, or baby Grace. And Kendra and Alex continue to deal with the subpoena for Alex to appear before the FBI, with the two and Tom also continuing to differ on the best approach to take. Alex's main priority in the matter is to end it all as quickly as possible. These competing priorities flavor their proposal to Forstell and what they do about Forstell's counter-proposal to them. Meanwhile, Hannah begins to suspect that it was Damian who tipped off Lang and thus may be working against her and the White House in the investigation against the First Lady. Hannah needs to bring Aaron into the fray. She, however, wants to lead the investigation against Damian as the one person in authority closest to him and who he may trust the most, and as she has a more personal stake herself.—Huggo
