*This review contains spoilers for all eight episodes of The Diplomat season 4.*

Netflix released the fourth season of The Diplomat on 15th October, and Debora Cahn ends it at a G7 summit in Tuscany with four people taking off their lanyards. The ambassador goes first. The chief of staff and the secretary of state follow her. Then, after a pause long enough for you to believe he will stay in his seat, the vice president steps out of the dark and joins them.

Season three left President Grace Penn (Allison Janney) and Vice President Hal Wyler (Rufus Sewell) holding a dangerous secret. Kate Wyler (Keri Russell) had persuaded Prime Minister Nicol Trowbridge that Britain and the United States would bury Russia's stranded Poseidon weapon in cement off the north-east coast of England. Grace and Hal instead sent an American submarine to take it. Netflix sold the new season as the story of two marriages that threaten to eat each other alive, and Cahn told Netflix's Tudum that the season is built on the foursome of Kate, Hal, Grace and Todd.
