We return to… Guy Secretan now disgustingly rich, nationally famous, and building a Swiss chalet-style mansion of alarming ambition. Mac MacCartney is thinking about leaving it again, while Caroline Todd contemplates whether she’ll ever get to be a mother. Martin Dear despite minimal effort, is somehow still not a doctor. Joanna Clore has served her time and is ready for action. Alan Statham is getting used to life working under Boyce, who is doing his level best to hold on to his department, his parking space, and his sanity. Sue White remains a law unto herself.

Now Mo's back on the throne, confronting her reign's greatest threat yet: turning 40 without an heir. No matriarch escapes the patriarchy.

Nancy Kranick (Emmy nominee Natasha Lyonne), a former moon nurse lying low in Hoboken, New Jersey… and Richard Nixon, tangled in a conspiracy so bizarre it stretches from the Moon to a Shakey’s Pizza to a parallel-universe Watergate.
