It seems as though a skilled hacker has found a way to override communications on Air Force One, but who does he work for and how much further will he go? When strange things start happening at the McCord house, Elizabeth and Henry (Tim Daly) grow concerned that someone is stalking her family. The Defense Intelligence Agency asks Henry to recruit one of his Russian students to work for the U.S. government, but it will take a lot of persuading to accomplish. Stevie's (Wallis Currie-Wood) relationship with the president's son continues, but she begins to question their future.
