"Designated Survivor" episode 6 is going to showcase a controversial string of events. President Kirkman (Kiefer Sutherland) already made plans to elect new members of the Congress but his plans go awry. A series of shots were heard during the Governor's Summit but the obstacles on his path to rebuilding the government doesn't end there.
After the terrorizing evening at the White House, the President decides to continue holding the summit. But instead of going straight to appointing people, the governors demand that he submit to questioning first.
"Designated Survivor" Episode 6
After the tragic bombing of the Capital, Kirkman needs to take the necessary steps to rebuild the government quickly. However, he seems to be stumbling upon huge blocks at every turn. During a Governor's Summit that is meant to appoint new members of the Congress and the Senate, one of the governors expressed her concerns over Kirkman's motives.
One of Kirkman's buddies stands up to defend him saying that they go way back and he knows that the President is a "fine man." But at the same time, he reminds the President of the fact that other governors don't know him and this is the best opportunity to rectify that.
Tit For Tat
Since the task of filling the seats on the Senate lie with the governors, Kirkman needs to woo the governors to do their duty. One governor insisted that the President submit to their questioning and if they are "satisfied," he will get his appointees. Kirkman tries to defend himself insisting that he is not on trial but the governor won't be fazed. With the fate of his new congress hanging in the balance, Kirkman may have no other choice but to submit to an interrogation with all 50 governors acting as jurors.
Meanwhile, Agent Hannah Wells (Maggie Q) made a surprising discovery about the bombing that took place at the Capitol. Could this change the dynamics in the new government and help President Kirkman gain more supporters? Or could this new discovery make it harder to rebuild the government?
"Designated Survivor" episode 6 "The Interrogation" will air on Wednesday, Nov. 9 at 10 p.m. EST.
