She played presidential candidate Valerie Caldwell who has been targeted by a bomb explosion that annihilates her SUV and kills one of her security personnel. After sifting through the usual red herrings (which includes a Chinese-American working for the People's Liberation Army), we find out that Valerie has been targeted by a lawyer named Len Barker who had once worked with her and had represented accused rapist Wayne Simmons who wound up spending ten years in prison. Ol' Len knows explosives, you see. So why would Len Barker go after Valerie? Turns out she sat on evidence that would have cleared Wayne. And now she's running for President. Yeah, I had the feeling that Valerie was crooked. Just goes to show, you just can't trust a whole lot of politicians these days. Just look at the polls. And Jeremy Sisto's character still bellows "The clock is ticking, people! Let's find the peep and bring him in!" Great episode.

Bias Creating Unrealistic Storylines
jreagin13 October 2019
This show needs to try to be more realistic and consider that sometimes violent attacks might be perpetrated by radical leftist. Since in real life they usually are. Instead, this show's usual suspects are always 'right-wing'. Seems like every show, the first 10 minutes they mention the perp possibly being some right-winger.
