Now that the Watergate break-in has happened on White House Plumbers, the messy aftermath is playing out. It all eventually leads to the resignation of Richard Nixon in 1974, but the details of what happened to Howard Hunt (Woody Harrelson), Gordon Liddy (Justin Theroux) and others are astounding. As we see in White House Plumbers episode 4, "The Writer's Wife," this includes Dorothy Hunt (Lena Headey).
There have been references Dorothy had done some spy work in the past. She gets to put those skills to the test once again as she takes control of the post-Watergate situation, arranging for hush money from the government for her family, the Cubans and (despite her objections) the Liddys. However, she is not confident in Nixon repaying Howard and Grodon's loyalty, and wants to make sure they try and protect themselves as best they can. But tragedy prevents her from being able to enact any plan to that effect.
