‘State of Affairs’ episode 4 preview: Katherine Heigl’s choices in ‘Bang, Bang’

Anytime that you hear an episode title for a show that is “Bang, Bang,” it is pretty easy to assume the worst. It really doesn’t matter what you are talking about.

With that being said, it seems that more so than guns, a virus could be the focal point on the next installment of “State of Affairs” bearing this name on NBC. Charlie and the entire US government have an enormous problem on their hands. Not only is their a virus out there, but it is in many ways something that the government has to take responsibility for … if they choose to, anyway. There is a whole lot of moral gray area in Charlie’s profession, and she has to figure out whether or not she is really okay with that.

Of course, there is so much more happening in this episode beyond that, including some great stuff when it comes to Charlie and her personal life. Want to know more? Then take a look at the official synopsis below:

“Charlie (Katherine Heigl) and Nick (Chris L. McKenna) both receive a threatening text that sends Nick on an investigation to find the source once and for all. Charlie flashes back to her first interactions with Fatah (guest star Farshad Farahat) on Midnight City. Meanwhile, President Payton’s (Alfre Woodard) rival Senator Green (guest star Melinda McGraw) reveals just enough about the upcoming senatorial convoy attack report to cause her to question Charlie’s faithfulness. Charlie and team have to employ Jack Dawkins (guest star Derek Ray) to contain a smallpox contamination in Panama while avoiding detection in the country. Kurt (Cliff Chamberlain) continues to pine for Maureen (Sheila Vand) but an unexpected kindness distracts her from his attentions.”
