"Madam Secretary" has proven to take us into adventurous new plots that involve the title character, Elizabeth Faulker-McCord (Tea Leoni), her staff and, more interestingly, her family.

Henry McCord recently got entangled in the Russian submarine crisis while lecturing in the foreign state and Elizabeth has achieved diplomatic milestones since that episode, including the Iranian crisis last Sunday.

But for those looking for a grand federal emergency crisis in Episode 22, of the foreign kind, you might be disappointed. The Season 1 finale, titled "There But For The Grace of God," is pointing in a more domestic direction, as reported by Spoilers Guide.

After having dealt with the Iranian assassination plot crisis, coupled with the legitimate protests in regards to the planned Iranian stoning of a gay citizen, Elizabeth will seem to have an episode that she can metaphorically reflect on her life and how she got to where she is.

She will finally confront Juliet (Nilaja Sun), who was a former friend of hers. The episode then leads us into a flashback of her CIA days. Current President Conrad Dalton (Keith Carradine) was CIA director then and we see that Elizabeth was offered a job that could have drastically altered the course of her life.

But, as reported by CarterMatt, her family is not immune to the political process. Her daughter Stevie (Wallis Currie-Wood), starts a relationship with the President's son, Harrison (Jason Ralph). But the relationship has consequences, and soon the political upheaval and turmoil could lead to more disastrous repercussions.

We can expect the Elizabeth-Juliet story to be the main event for the episode, due to its potential to have longer lasting implications for the seasons that follow, but the episode is poised for grandiose, plot-driven drama from beginning to end.

In an interview with TV Guide, series creator Barbara Hall gave us a little insight into the show's direction, especially for the title character.

"It's not going to be about her perfect wins, it's going to be about great challenges for her. And so we're going to get to see how she continues to manage those issues as they come up," Hall said.
