Season 2 of Netflix's political thriller The Diplomat begins with a bang—literally. Created by The West Wing alum Debora Cahn and starring Keri Russell, the series follows the titular diplomat Kate Wyler (Russell) as she's appointed ambassador to the United Kingdom, following the mysterious bombing of a British warship. Throughout the first season, Wyler works with the British Foreign Secretary (and several other members of The Diplomat's talented cast) to figure out who bombed the ship, while avoiding a possible World War 3. Meanwhile, the U.S. President also has an ulterior motive for Kate's appointment: to see if she's a good choice to become the new Vice President.
After a packed (although truncated) season, The Diplomat season 2 ends with a cliffhanger that changes the entire series' dynamic, ahead of a (thankfully) already-renewed season 3. Below, read on for a breakdown of the complicated ending of The Diplomat season 2.
