After the mysterious coma of the beloved Pope Pius XIII, the Vatican feels a void that needs to be filled. As the cardinals of the Catholic Church gather to choose the new pope, outside the Vatican walls, a catastrophic event happens involving a terrorist attack on an Italian beach. As the shocked cardinals bicker and argue over which candidate should take the holy throne, they finally decide on a new pontiff: the lenient and meek Vatican Secretary of State, Sir John Brannox.

While Brannox takes time to contemplate the burdensome role he has inherited, other members of the Vatican plot to remove those who have wronged them in the past. As Voiello deals with his inner demons, a character from Pius' past resurfaces, stirring up Vatican secrets. Meanwhile, the new Pope continues to seek advice from the ghost of his dead mentor, Cardinal Spencer, who serves as a guide in his holy journey.

As the newly-minted Pope begins his new role, he receives a lot of media attention, both local and international. This leads to Brannox's endorsement by influential figures, including conservative nun Sister Lisette of Maynooth. However, conflict arises when Brannox meets with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, where he intends to discuss the Vatican's position on the current state of political affairs in the United Kingdom.

Despite Brannox's apparent diplomacy, the new Pope soon realizes the tremendous challenges that lie ahead of him. He must balance the day-to-day affairs of the Vatican with the profound and ethical responsibility of leading the Catholic Church. Brannox soon faces his first significant challenge as Pope, when an issue of the heart presents itself. Will he be able to reconcile his personal life with his religious duties?

The second episode of The New Pope is filled with twists and turns, as viewers delve deeper into the gripping world of the Vatican. With its talented cast of characters and intricate storyline, this episode leaves viewers on the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating what comes next.
