She steps out of retirement for a couple of weeks when her hand-picked successor goes on vacation, and she's a maddeningly sharp, maddeningly quick woman who's expert at summarizing a situation 'fairly' -- until a minute later when you finally feel that stiletto going in your side. Stevie (Wallis Currie-Wood) works closely with June in the episode

CBS announced today the storylines for its 2014-2015 season finales, featuring dramatic conclusions, big reveals and a couple of weddings.

Maybe it's just me, but every time the opening scene goes past the ten minute mark, I am completely drawn into an episode. MADAM SECRETARY has been using this device better than anyone, and tonight's episode was no exception. We are going one step deeper into the conspiracy theory with the Secretary's decision to bring the team to Venezuela for a little diplomacy, and a check into former Secretary Marsh's secret bank account that came to light this week. The trip also brings daughter Stephanie back home to stay with her sister Allison while they are in South America, and Stephanie still has not gotten over her mother's reveal last week about her participation in torture during the Gulf War.

CBS has given full season orders to all four of its new dramas, including the #1 and #2 new series of the season, NCIS: NEW ORLEANS and SCORPION, Sunday's #1 scripted broadcast, MADAM SECRETARY, and the time period-winning suspense thriller STALKER. These pick-ups include three of the top four new shows launched on television this season, and three series that rank among the top 15 of ALL prime time programs.

Hey Stranger Friends, MADAM SECRETARY is going rogue this week as Secretary McCord is prepping for her first big speech in front of many countries' leaders at the World Affairs Committee. She has not been inspired by what she is rehearsing, as her staff tries to remind her that she must be neutral and positive, while her speech writer Matt, says that finding the right tone is, 'super hard.' After admonishing her team to find something to talk about that she actually cares about, she goes with Blake to find out how his investigation is going on Nadine, her Chief of Staff.

Welcome back Stranger Friends, and I hope you enjoyed week two of MADAM SECRETARY as much as I did. I think this episode really emphasized the balance the writers are achieving in mixing the politics, and the family life. While the episode and the title, 'Another Benghazi,' may be pulling from the current headlines a bit soon in my opinion, I think going at it from the private security angle was a winner. Myself, and quite a few others that saw the pilot, were questioning the mention of a third child at the Secretary's dinner last week with the King of Swaziland and his many wives. We only met two children that first episode, and I am glad our questions were answered.
