In Madam Secretary season 3 episode 18, titled "Good Bones", Elizabeth McCord (played by Téa Leoni) is faced with a difficult decision about a young girl who has fled Honduras with her mother in search of asylum in the United States. The girl is suffering from a rare bone disease that is being exacerbated by the journey and lack of medical care, and her mother is desperate for help.
As Elizabeth navigates the complex and often murky waters of international politics, she must also contend with her own personal conflicts. Her daughter, Stevie (played by Wallis Currie-Wood), is considering a career in politics and seeking her mother's guidance, while her husband, Henry (played by Tim Daly), is dealing with the aftermath of a traumatic event from his past.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth's team at the State Department faces their own challenges as they work to prevent a potentially catastrophic cyber attack and navigate a delicate negotiation with a foreign power.
As the episode unfolds, Elizabeth must grapple with the difficult moral and ethical questions at the heart of the asylum process, as well as the personal stakes involved for everyone involved. With high-stakes drama and compelling performances from its talented cast, "Good Bones" is a standout episode in a gripping season of Madam Secretary.
