In the "Madam Secretary" episode tonight, on the air at CBS Television Network, Henry learns shocking secrets after his father's death.
According to TV Overmind, Henry's family has to deal with open old wounds after the death of Henry's father. Emelyn Daly stars as Henry's niece, Sarah McCord. His grieving sister Maureen (Kate Burton) blames Henry for being too busy and not spending enough time at home. At the State department Russell hides sensitive information from Elizabeth's team.
From the teaser and the promo, we understand this is going to be an emotional episode. Henry and Elizabeth are together in a lovely way, very expressive through that tone and comforting hand touch. This is among the facts that keep the audiences tuned into the CBS show. We are all expecting Kate Burton to entertain us with one more classic performance tonight. Kate Burton is the daughter of Richard Burton, one of favorite actors of the classic Hollywood era.
One of the strengths of this season in "Madam Secretary" has been the fact that this really looks like a real family. According to Broadway World, the family side attracts audiences to this CBS show just as much as the politics. The cast is so harmonious and works so well together as if they aren't even acting.
Elizabeth McCord, the determined Secretary of State, is played by the star Téa Leoni. In the series she is a strong woman who battles office politics, drives international diplomacy and circumvents protocol as she negotiates domestic and global issues. Her character is credible and well contoured both at home and at the White House.
Elisabeth McCord is a brilliant former CIA analyst and a college professor. She left the agency for ethical reasons but at the request of President Conrad Dalton she was willing to return to public life. The President invited her to occupy the function of Secretary of State following the suspicious death of her predecessor. The President values McCord's flair for languages, her deep knowledge of the Middle East, her apolitical leanings and her ability to think outside the box.
