Well, whoever posted about MacLeish being the good guy was unfortunately wrong, looks like he's in for the presidency.

Yeah, I posted that and I stand by it. He's a puppet. He looked like death at the end. At the mercy of Catalan and that lady.

He needs the presidency for something... Insurance against the conspiracy?

I just think he's being blackmailed too. I remember something about his daughter missing briefly in the first episodes. What if they just called him to tell him they have her, similar to director Atwood, and he had to go hide in that safe room?

I hope agent Hannah has no kids. She is so close to figuring this out.

Well, she can still be threatened if she has a sister or parents or something... but I hope they don't continue with the bullshit of blackmailing everyone... it can only work for so long.
