By Rita Mendoza - 15 Dec '16 20:59PM

"Designated Survivor" midseason finale ended with shots fired during a proclamation of Vice President MacLeish. Such action-packed ending deserved an applause as it kept the audience at the end of their seats. (Spoiler Alert! The following contain details about Episode 10 midseason finale entitled "The Oath" that premiered Dec. 11)

As Kirkman comes closer to the people responsible for blowing up the Capitol Hill, Maggie and Chuck are desperately trying to investigate the "what's next" question. With little people to trust, Kirkman enlists the help of Emily who investigates the person responsible for withdrawing information from the Secretary of Defense, which she, later on, learned that Aaron was responsible for.

Maggie and Chuck try to locate the person who has been giving her tips in the investigation. She found out that it was Charles Langdon, and as they were talking, someone tried to kill them both. She successfully gunned down the unidentified person and was able to recover a card that leads to a hotel room just across the location where MacLeish will be sworn in. Meanwhile, before the proclamation ceremony, MacLeish was getting cold feet. His wife reassures him that it is normal and that they all have worked for years to get him there and was chosen by their "friends."

The "Designated Survivor" episode "The Oath" ended with shots fired. As Maggie spotted the sniper that is sneaking through a window across the building where Kirkman was, she fired at the windowsill alerting everyone in the CIA. Then, the sniper fired back.

"Designated Survivor" Season 1 Episode 11 trailer showed MacLeish finally getting to the last part of his proclamation and as he waves at the audience, a shot was fired. Emily and Aaron are safe along with Mike Ritter. Towards the end of the teaser, there was someone on the operating table. Who took the shot? We will know when "Designated Survivor" returns on March 8, 2017, on ABC.
