5 Things We Learned From The Season 3 Premiere Of Madam Secretary

He lost the primary and therefore cannot serve a second term. And it's all Elizabeth's fault. Well, at least according to Chief of Staff Russell Jackson. The Secretary publicly announced that she believes in climate change and surprisingly President Dalton agreed with her, which was probably the main cause that ruined his chances of being re-elected.

Last season President Dalton asked Elizabeth to be his Vice President, providing he gets elected for another term. After the long hiatus the viewers finally got an answer: Elizabeth said yes. She has doubts - as pretty much every human being with a conscience would have - but she wants to be Conrad's VP.

After Henry and José shared a traumatic experience last season, they seem to have become BFFs. José comes to visit Henry at the university and asks him to return to the DIA. Henry does not commit but he seems to want to. The viewers can probably expect him to join the team once more in the upcoming episodes.

Someone hacked Jason McCord's computer. Henry thinks it is just a harmless prank but turns out it is not: He and Elizabeth receive a bunch of pictures of their children, hinting that someone is following them around.

It was Elizabeth's idea. She believes Dalton has a chance to win, despite the fact that said chance is so small that it is barely existent. Russell Jackson thinks it is insane but he goes with it. The plan is to keep the other candidates from getting the required number of electoral votes so it will be up to the House of Representatives to pick a president. In this case Dalton actually would have a very good chance of winning. The big downside of that plan is that Dalton needs to pick another Vice President. So the show probably wont change its name to "Madame Vice President" anytime soon.
