Elizabeth McCord's (Tea Leoni) skills will be tested again as she attempts to rescue a group of kidnapped schoolgirls in the next episode of "Madam Secretary" season 2.
According to the synopsis for the episode, titled "Desperate Remedies," the U.S. Secretary of State will use of the information that she received regarding the health condition of one of the members of the Boko Haram terrorist group to release the group of schoolgirls that they abducted.
While the synopsis did not reveal Elizabeth's plan, the U.S. Secretary of State could possibly offer a medicine that could save the life of the Boko Haram member in exchange for the release of the abducted schoolgirls.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth's husband Henry McCord (Tim Daly) will also have breakthrough in the investigation regarding another terrorist group, led by Jibral Disah (Bobak Bakhtiari).
Previously, Henry found out that one of Disah's wives, Hijriyyah, was a student of his former colleague. After Hijriyyah answered an email from her former teacher, Henry and the entire team finally had a clue regarding the possible location of the couple. This could mean that they can capture the world's most wanted terrorist very soon.

Also, Henry gets new information on the terrorist Jibral Disah that leads his team closer to pinpointing his location."
