Expected to spend his retired years living outside Santa Fe, NM, former President Richard Graves spins out into an existential crisis when he realizes that his White House's policies of 25 years ago messed the country up.

The family and staff try to prevent Graves from finding out that his attempted assassin Martin Treadwell is seeking a furlough to visit his dying mother. Margaret is approached by the Republican Party and invited to launch a Senate campaign.

The family deals with the repercussions of Graves' unorthodox show of support for Mexican immigrants. His son Jeremy returns home after serving four years in the Army and Olivia is excited to have a sexy new man in her life.

Graves is forced to acknowledge that his views are on the wrong side of history. Olivia falls deeper in love with Arturo. Margaret inches closer to launching her Senate bid. Isaiah desperately tries to prep Jeremy for an interview on a local morning news.

Concerned about her husband's strange behavior, Margaret has a therapist hold a session for the family. Jeremy intercepts a letter to the family asking if they would like to send someone to speak at Treadwell's furlough hearing.

Graves tries to rectify mistakes he made dealing with Native American groups during his presidency, and Isaiah's burgeoning relationship with Sammy becomes collateral damage during the adventure. Olivia gives Margaret the boost of confidence she needs.

The family welcomes a 60 Minutes-like news magazine show team into their home for a special on Graves' post-presidential life. While presenting themselves as a picture-perfect family, Olivia discovers she's pregnant.

Graves travels across state lines to convince Isaiah to come back to his staff. Margaret sets up her campaign office and is forced to consider what compromises she's willing to make for her run. Treadwell visits his mother during his supervised furlough.
