"There are so many flavors of betrayal to sample in "Schrodinger's Wife". We've got Trowbridge's grievances, whatever it is Todd imagines is going on between Grace and Hal, Hal's supreme annoyance with Kate's inability to just enjoy her new relationship, Stuart's difficulty processing what Billie knew about Rayburn (and when she knew it), and Kate's horror at Grace and Hal's betrayal (once again!) of Trowbridge when she figures out that they're the ones who made off with the incredibly dangerous Poseidon drone. Whew!"
"The only people having a relatively normal time of it at the U.K./U.S. summit being held at Chequers (the formal residence for the Prime Minister to use as a country retreat or for entertaining on a large scale) are Austin Dennison and his wife (!!), Thema Aseidu-Dennison (Tracy Ifeachor, late of ). Somehow, they've been married for a month, but Kate hadn't heard a word about it until now?"
Multiple betrayals intersect in the episode, including Trowbridge's grievances, Todd's suspicions about Grace and Hal, Hal's frustration with Kate, Stuart's struggle over Billie's knowledge of Rayburn, and Kate's horror upon learning Grace and Hal stole the dangerous Poseidon drone. A U.K./U.S. summit at Chequers provides a setting, where Austin Dennison and his wife Thema Aseidu-Dennison remain unexpectedly stable and reveal a recent marriage. Dennison serves as a decent friend to Kate and a contrast to the Wylers' turmoil. The episode positions Hal Wyler as the central instigator, tying his actions to a car bombing, a presidential death, and now the Poseidon theft.
