Alexis and Fallon recap and dive (deep) on episodes 3 and 4.  President Rayburn's plans in the Gulf have everyone more on edge than normal (if that's possible). They spend the first chunk of the episode babysitting/negotiating what the President and PM should or shouldn't say re: who bombed the boat. Hal has to out himself as the problem (shocker) to support the fact that Kate, and all the reasonable folks are adamant that Iran didn't do it. After an epic throwdown, actual knock down drag out fight with Hal, Kate tries to resign after convincing the president not to send ships to the Persian gulf. The Brits, mostly Trowbridge are super convinced it's Iran and doing the things a country does before it goes to war. The UK/Iran meeting is set up and Kate back channels her way in. But not before Stuart reassures Eidra that their relationship is good. All seems to be well in the meeting with the Iranian ambassador…until he drops dead in the office.

"I think that we like to look at somebody who's in a leadership position and say, look at what they did. And we don't recognize the fact that there's a huge team of people creating this thing that we attribute to an individual. And certainly, that's the case in political environments. I didn't work in Washington for a long time, but I worked there a little bit, and I very much got a sense of the incredible talent of a group of people who are standing behind somebody who's an elected leader, helping them make decisions and in research and the forming of strategies.We're attributing to one mind what is the work of 20. I think that's what so many of the characters in that place are bringing to Kate Wyler (played by Keri Russell). And it takes her a while to kind of figure out does she trust them? Does she think that they're really value-added? Is she going to have to do this by herself? Sometimes it takes time to embrace that and be able to utilize the skills that are around you, but nobody does it by themselves. I think that's a myth."Debora Cahn is the Emmy-nominated showrunner and executive producer of Netflix's The Diplomat, a political thriller series starring Keri Russell and Rufus Sewell.

And we don't recognize the fact that there's a huge team of people creating this thing that we attribute to an individual. And certainly, that's the case in political environments. I didn't work in Washington for a long time, but I worked there a little bit, and I very much got a sense of the incredible talent of a group of people who are standing behind somebody who's an elected leader, helping them make decisions and in research and the forming of strategies.We're attributing to one mind what is the work of 20. I think that's what so many of the characters in that place are bringing to Kate Wyler (played by Keri Russell). And it takes her a while to kind of figure out does she trust them? Does she think that they're really value-added? Is she going to have to do this by herself? Sometimes it takes time to embrace that and be able to utilize the skills that are around you, but nobody does it by themselves. I think that's a myth."www.imdb.com/name/nm1263223www.netflix.com/tudum/the-diplomatwww.creativeprocess.info www.oneplanetpodcast.org IG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcastImages courtesy of Netflix/Alex Bailey
