What will happen to Dalton's campaign?

President Dalton surprised viewers—and his Secretary of State—when he asked Bess to be his Vice Presidential candidate in the upcoming election. Floored by his offer, Bess took some time to think things through before landing on a decision.

Now, Bess will have to choose what comes next. Will she join Dalton's ticket, and, if so, will she bring her staff with her? Plus, will Russell be onboard with her change in roles?

Where in the world will Bess go next?

As Secretary of State, Bess has traveled all over the globe to meet with world leaders. Now that she's being considered for Vice President, will she have to limit her travel?

What will Henry's next mission be?

After barely escaping from Pakistan alive, Henry's in need of some R&R. Of course, he's never been one to spend his days lounging on the couch. Where will he go next, and will it be as dangerous as his last mission?

What will become of Stevie and Jareth's relationship?

During the Season 2 finale, Stevie revealed that she was not only engaged to Jareth, but that the two had also made plans to quickly elope. After a touching heart-to-heart conversation with her father, Stevie realized that while Jareth is "the forever guy," she wasn't ready "to start forever right now."

The couple decided it'd be best if Stevie finished her semester, spent the summer in Oxford with him, and then made plans for their future.

How will they face the next steps in their relationship?

What will become of Dmitri?

Betraying the Russian government, struggling to survive after being held captive, and doing everything he could to stay strong for his sister: It's safe to say Dmitri had a rough year. Now that he's back on U.S. soil—thanks to Henry and Bess' hard-fought efforts—how will Dmitri deal with all of his major life changes?
