WARNING: This article contains major spoilers for Madam Secretary season 6 episode 9. Read at your own risk.
Madam Secretary season 6 episode 9 recently aired on CBS, with the title "Carpe Diem". A lot of happy moments happened within this episode, especially for Elizabeth McCord. She managed to prove herself to many people and avoid the impeachment. Here's what happened in the previous episode.
Madam Secretary season 6 episode 9 was likely the end of the impeachment story. Elizabeth managed to solve the crisis in China, so some in the committee decided they no longer want her to be removed from the office. This is one of the highlights of the episode since Elizabeth proved she's worthy of her position.
She chose the harder path, even if it could jeopardize her position and her name. Elizabeth tried to avert the crisis without resorting to war, and her solution was to make the US look like a loser. This is something that may not favor many Americans, and this Elizabeth could also ruin her reputation.
Her choice in Madam Secretary season 6 episode 9 was more than just a choice between diplomacy and war. It was actually a choice between sacrifice and pride, and Elizabeth chose to sacrifice for the better good. And despite all the chaos, in the end, millions of people supported her and declared that Elizabeth is their president.
The Chinese President's pride could have led to a nuclear war, but Elizabeth sacrificed her own pride just to achieve diplomacy. Her insistence on finding a diplomatic solution isn't really a surprise to many since it was actually how she operated when she was still the Secretary of State.
As for what else happened in Madam Secretary season 6 episode 9, Stevie McCord is engaged. The proposal from Dmitri was, indeed, sweet. It's also nice to see a lighthearted scene amid the chaos, especially now that the series is nearing its finale.
Dmitri's proposal proved how he really cares about Stevie, and his proposal was a perfect event. Since the two are now engaged, they will now begin their lives together, with some speculating that the series finale could feature the wedding of these two.
However, it's yet to be seen whether or not the finale will show them tying the knot. But, the series finale, titled "Leaving the Station," could feature Elizabeth's journey from the start until the end and how she really values her family since they've been there from the beginning.
Madam Secretary series finale will air on Sunday, Dec. 8, on CBS.
