The President negotiates with a foreign government to release an American held overseas on Designated Survivor. "Bad Reception" is the 20th episode of the show's second season.
This president has survived an assassination attempt, the murder of his vice president, and an opposition, who can only seem to agree on the single proposition that he should be thrashed at every turn. And yet, the president has never wavered in his belief in the American dream, or in the fundamental belief in the goodness of the American people.
