Designated Survivor season 2 episdoe 4 spoilers: A new trade crisis

Moving into Designated Survivor season 2 episode 4, one of the things that we actually like the most is how more grounded in reality it seems compared to some of the others. In an era where it’s hard to separate the truth from fiction in terms of headlines, this should could benefit from taking on stories that are a little less about conspiracies and more about international relations and other issues that most Presidents will go through. Obviously things will be heightened here and there just because this is what often happens with TV, but there is still something to be said for having a story that actually feels somewhat rooted within global politics and not more assassinations or things of that ilk. This is season 2; with that, the time is nigh to mix a few things up.

If you are interested in getting some more news in this vein, we suggest that you take a look at the synopsis below.

Designated Survivor season 2 episode 4 synopsis – “Tensions rise between America and Mexico when a Mexican citizen is shot during a border dispute regarding Mexican trade imports; and Kirkman and his staff must work quickly to resolve the situation and create a new trade deal.”

Obviously, the stakes here remain pretty high given that you’re dealing with an incident that could lead to a huge trade crisis between the two countries. If something goes awry both countries could suffer, but they could each be willing to put whatever sort of pride they may have — or unwillingness to accept blame — over any attempt to patch an agreement together. Just for the sake of politics, this could be one of the more interesting episodes we see.

We wish that issues like this weren’t “grounded” at all like we mentioned earlier in this article, but we do think that it’s something that we do still have problems with. The reality here in particular is that there is so much hatred for the other side here in America that it’s a situation that needs to be healed in some capacity. We’re not sure if Designated Survivor has the capacity to help anything there, but it could shine a light on many important things that are taking place.
