Second in Command: A Veep Rewatch

Summary: When the personal details of a previously anonymous girl mentioned by the President are leaked, Selina's team tries to find a scapegoat for the data breach; first Lee, then Dan. Catherine tells Selina she wants to support an anti-bullying campaign. Dan tasks Jonah and Richard with buying fireworks for a campaign rally. While Mike is about to make the dreadful error of announcing the wrong scapegoat at a press conference, the President hosts the annual Easter Egg Roll and reads a story to the assembled kids.

Callie Hersheway (assistant to show creator Armando Iannucci on Veep, staff writer on Succession) joins Tim to discuss episode 2 of season 4 of Veep.

Summary: The president's staff prepares for her state visit with the Israeli prime minister. Mike tries out a new look for his more visible role. Teddy does Jonah a favor, while continuing to invade his personal space. Dan and Jonah are participating in Families First talks. Stuck in traffic with Richard, Amy learns via FaceTime that Selina is bringing in Bill Ericsson. Gary goes overboard while planning the state dinner for the Israeli delegation, and a painting in the White House comes under the spotlight. Kent helps Catherine with her likeability. Richard becomes Jonah's assistant.

Sam Richardson (Richard on Veep) joins Matt and Tim to recap the first episode of season 4 of Veep.

Summary: Twenty-four hours before Selina's first major speech as President, her staff frantically tries to work out how she can say two completely opposite things (cuts in the military/spending on the Families First bill) at the same time. But just before the speech begins, everything falls apart. The staff adjusts to their new roles in the White House: Gary questions his worth now that he can no longer be close to Selina. Jonah is put off by the hands-on approach of the new VP's chief of staff, Teddy. Amy learns that Bill Ericsson, a rival campaign manager, may make a play for her job. Mike is trying to be healthy.

The great Julia Louis-Dreyfus joins Matt and (eventually) Tim to discuss the season 3 finale. 

Summary: While Selina balances her unexpected Presidency with the New Hampshire primary, Dan pushes Jonah to take the blame for the torture rumor in exchange for a job at the White House. There is a slight issue with the oath of office because of Mike's clumsiness. Selina accidentally tells Kent the wrong person to fire and 'squeaks' to the nation. To help her campaign, Selina visits a factory.

After Selina is caught badmouthing a reporter, putting the campaign in jeopardy, the team gets some unexpected news. Mike worries about balancing his home and work life. Selina and her staff wonder how to make her seem more down-to-earth, when they learn that Thornhill is leading in the polls. Jonah asks his mom and Bill Ericsson for help after the Maddox disaster in the previous episode.

SYNOPSIS: The staff prepares for the debate between Selina and her rivals; some candidates prove more nefarious than their appearance, while others crack under the pressure.
