“Madam Secretary” is a series about political intrigue, machinations and the behind the curtain acts which remain unknown to the everyday normal citizen. With spies caught, international conflicts arising and the cyber stalking incident, what is madam to do to keep her position safe?

Starting from the back-forth, Mstars News reports that the stalker of the McCord family has been revealed. His name is Ron Jameway.

It is expected that with the end of the championship, the ratings will normalize once again.

“Madam Secretary” Season 3 Episode 6 will air on 13 November on CBS.
