Madam Secretary closes out its first season with its freshman finale on Sunday. The episode kicks off right from where episode 21 ended. Bess walks into the interrogation room where Juliet is and starts asking questions. However, Juliet promptly accuses Bess and says Bess could have been the one sitting in her chair. This causes Elizabeth to flash back to her time at the CIA, where we see then-Director Dalton talking to her about an important report she wrote and subsequently offering her a new job. Flashbacks are seen throughout the hour and are all about Bess considering that job offer.
A few other teasers from the season finale:
-Harrison is asking Stevie to be his plus one for a formal event at the White House. This might or might not lead to some bonding between the two.
-Isabelle does not appear in the flashbacks, but she is mentioned.
-There are, however, two dead characters appearing in the flashbacks: George Peters and Andrew Munsey. George appearing brings the season full circle, as we last saw him in the series premiere.
-Mike B returns to give Elizabeth advise on legal matters regarding the Senate hearing.
-A portrait of the late Vincent Marsh is being removed from the State Department, but the question is what to do with it. And what will Nadine have to say about this portrait of her ex-lover?
-Pretty much all the questions that are still left unanswered from the season will be answered in the finale.
