In today's episode of "Madam Secretary" season 2 titled "The Middle Way," Elizabeth will find herself at loggerheads with the American ambassador of Myanmar as she attempts to refashion the country's power grid.

The Secretary of State flies to Myanmar to sign a Pacific Rim trade agreement that will ultimately help the nation restore the confidence in its trade relation partners and overall improve its national electric utilities.

In this "Madam Secretary" season 2 episode, however, the American ambassador, who has learned to engross himself in the country's culture, exhibits serious opposition of the plans, particularly Elizabeth's involvement.

Needless to say, her visit to Myanmar does not turn out to be what she expected. In a promo for the installment, the world's top diplomat was even welcomed in Myanmar with a hostage crisis in progress.

But this won't be Elizabeth's sole concern. In the "Madam Secretary" season 2 episode, she will also be dealing with her neighbors, who turn out to be not as fond as she expected upon the idea of having a public personality like her around.

"You want us to move out? Seriously?" Elizabeth asks one of her neighbors who seems to have prepared a document stating that people in the neighborhood can no longer tolerate having a popular diplomat with them.

Predictably, Elizabeth was knocked for six about her neighbor's request especially that she is under the impression that she actually was great as a neighbor.

"People like us. We're likeable!" she grumbled in the "Madam Secretary" season 2 promo. As it turns out, the neighborhood does not share the same pretty judgment as hers.

Meanwhile, the "Madam Secretary" season 2 episode will also see Nadine do her best in re-establishing her relationship with her son, who has grown alienated from her.

"Madam Secretary" season 2 episode 12 "The Middle Way" airs Jan. 17 at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.
