Many of you seemed to agree with me, and it looks like we got our wish.
He was the star of this episode.

Dont get me wrong those episodes are exciting but tonight was a welcome little hiatus from all that.
The episode opens with Ambassador Arlen Maxwell voicing his concerns about the Pacific Rim Trade Agreement to Bess.
This agreement goes back to the season premiere.
You may recall the event where the entire team sang alternate lyrics to a Billy Joel tune.
Anyway, Maxwells concern is with the elimination of tariffs on hydro-power turbines.
He says that it would displace villagers who spent their entire lives as farmers.
When they get to Myanmar, they find that their US Ambassador is leading a demonstration against them.
He was quickly detained and fired because his job was to advocate on behalf of America and obviously failed.
We learn that he converted to Buddhism six months ago and is being trained by a Buddhist monk.
Again, he urges him not to sign the trade agreement.
When the President doesnt listen, Maxwell pulls a gun on him and now theres a hostage situation.
or Henrys Dont get too close to the Buddhist terrorist.
Meanwhile, Henry is home dealing with the neighbors who have lodged several complaints against the McCords.
Henry attempts to calm everyone down, butalsogoes on a rant about his neighbors petty problems.
However, Bess uses The Middle Way again and gets her security to turn off the car.
I had no idea that the Secretary of States car ran 24/7.
I actually tried to look this up and couldnt find out if it was a real thing or not.
You would think that shouldnt be allowed in 2015, but maybe it is?
Before I wrap this recap up, I want to talk about Nadine.
Also Nadine was part of a dance troupe before she went to law school?
(I also wouldnt mind seeing her attractive son in more episodes in the future.)
Shes coming, and its going to be amazing.
