Russell (Željko Ivanek) is hatching something up his sleeves in the upcoming episode of the CBS series "Madam Secretary."

In "Invasive Species," CarterMatt reports that the White House Chief of Staff is withholding important information from Elizabeth (Téa Leoni). This will come as a surprise to fans of the drama series, as the two always work as a team in protecting President Dalton's (Keith Carradine) administration at all cost. Whatever Russell may be hiding, it must be kept under the lid for a while, especially to the people at the State Department.

Meanwhile, Henry (Tim Daly) will be dealing with a lot of family drama. The synopsis reveals that his father will pass away. His sister Maureen (Kate Burton) is reportedly angry at him for not spending time with the old man before he died. As an asset to the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), Henry has been kept busy with the recent Russian crisis. He saved the administration by preventing Elizabeth from accusing the other country outright that it was the mastermind in the attack against Air Force One.

The death of his agent Dmitri (Chris Petrovski) also depressed him. When it comes to saving his country, Henry is always reliable 24/7. Sadly, his family life suffers due to his busy schedule. His sister's angst is justified, as he barely saw his dad before the sad incident. The McCords will even be dismayed to find out that some of the family secrets are about to be exposed and "open old wounds" for the members. What kind of skeletons are they hiding in the closet?

With her husband facing such difficult times, Elizabeth is bound to give him all the support she can while doing her work as Secretary of State. So far, things are going well for her and the Dalton administration. They were able to convince the Myanmar president to sign the Pacific Rim Trade Agreement last time. This would pave the way to the Asian Country's modernization, with the construction of hydroelectric dams.

"Madam Secretary" season 2 airs Sundays at 8 p.m. EST on CBS.
