 After Takashi prevents an unknown party in Miami from trying to abduct Maria, he becomes complicit in a subtle and disturbing emotional game in which Takashi, Rachel, and Yamaoka make three separate appeals to Maria that convince her at the last moment to retract her statement and thereby save the senators's campaign.
Now, having won the California primary, Yamaoka has a serious shot to snatch the prize from Vice-President Al Noah at the now only weeks-away Democratic National Convention. Back at the Oval Offices, Bill tells Al he can use his clout to guarantee him the nomination - provided he accepts his wife as running mate!
