In Season 3 of The Diplomat, Ambassador Kate Wyler (Keri Russell) lives the actual nightmare that’s getting what you need. She simply accused Vice President Grace Penn (Janney) of hatching a terrorist plot and admitted she’s after the VP’s job. However now the President is useless, Kate’s husband Hal (Rufus Sewell) could have inadvertently killed him, and Grace Penn is chief of the free world. None of this slows Hal’s marketing campaign to land Kate the vice presidency. Kate steps into a task she by no means wished, with a freedom she by no means anticipated, an more and more difficult friendship with Overseas Secretary Austin Dennison (David Gyasi), and an unnerving bond with First Gentleman Todd Penn (Whitford).
