Elizabeth (Téa Leoni) may be a bigwig in the U.S. political arena, but many forget she is still a mother to her three children. In the upcoming episode of the CBS series "Madam Secretary," viewers will see her in action as a protective parent to Stevie (Wallis Currie-Wood).

In "Hijriyah," CarterMatt reports that the McCords' eldest daughter will decide that it is time for her parents to meet her new boyfriend Jareth (Chris O'Shea). She will be bringing him to dinner, where Elizabeth and Henry (Tim Daly) can get to know him better. After her failed relationship with President Dalton's (Keith Carradine) son, Harrison (Jason Ralph), Stevie has become guarded when it comes to her relationships. This will be the first time she will bring a guy home to meet the family, and she cannot help but feel nervous for her and for Jareth (Chris O'Shea).

After his close call with the uranium bombing, Henry is still feeling shaky and anxious for his family. The bomb could have taken them all out of the picture and the fact that they are all safe is a blessing indeed. Henry has been a good father to Stevie, even during the times that she and Elizabeth were having difficulty communicating. He was particularly worried about his daughter when photos of her and the POTUS' son were exposed on the Internet in the past. How will Henry evaluate Jared as Stevie's new boyfriend? For that matter, how will Elizabeth do it?

Meanwhile, Elizabeth will once again be busy doing her work as Secretary of State. After the recent bombing in the convention she hosted, the state department must not lose time tracking down the mastermind of the attack. Jibral Disah (Bobak Bakhtiari) has officially become the most-wanted terrorist in the world after his attack in the American soil. The U.S. has difficulty getting intel about his location, even after working with the members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

In the upcoming episode, a Libyan refugee on board a ship in distress will claim that he knows valuable information about Disah. The Italian warship that came to the ship's aid will contact Elizabeth about the matter and give her only 20 minutes to decide whether she wants to interrogate the informer. Is this the break that they have been praying for?

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