'Madam Secretary' season 3 episode 4 spoilers: Elizabeth set to defend Dalton's administration from bashers

(Facebook/MadamSecretary)Angola is disappointed with the US in the upcoming episode of "Madam Secretary."

The Dalton administration will be criticized by the international media in the upcoming episode of "Madam Secretary." What will Elizabeth (Tea Leoni) do to avoid further damage to her boss' reputation?

In the episode titled "The Dissent Memo," the synopsis (as per CarterMatt) reveals that a political ally will express dissatisfaction in the Americans' giving a cold shoulder to the growing unrest in Angola. A political rally has been bombed and the Bureau of African Affairs is wondering why the United States is not reacting as expected. The Africans think the other country is not paying the proper attention to the upcoming elections in Angola. A "dissent memo" will be sent to Dalton's (Keith Carradine) administration and Elizabeth must find a way to answer it without ruffling more feathers.

Elizabeth will be dealing with the Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of African Affairs, Susan Thompson (Tonya Pinkins). She will have to be very careful, since the U.S. cannot afford having Angola as an enemy. The world has been keeping a close eye on them and getting involved in an international debacle is the last thing it needs. Elizabeth also cannot afford to mess up, especially now that Dalton's chances of winning the elections are not so good. Russell (Zeljko Ivanek) even wants her to help Dalton secure a slot in the ballot from Ohio. Will Elizabeth save the day once again?

Last episode, Elizabeth had to beg the Chinese foreign minister to free several Americans who had been detained for spying. They were environmental advocates who were protesting the damage in the South China Sea. Elsewhere, Henry (Tim Daly) had a suspicion that their family's hacker was his wife's former student. The McCords realized that life still goes on for them and they must not let the stalker curtail their daily activities. They just needed to be extra careful in case the culprit strikes again.

"Madam Secretary" season 3 airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on CBS.
