Highly charged and as dramatic as a soap opera can be, this second mid-season episode sees Sebastian Rush's family picking up the pieces after Dakota's revelations.

Unsurprisingly, another storm is brewing in Texas and Marylee Rush is in the epicentre. Whilst she's always been a formidable woman, we haven't seen anything yet as she plots and schemes. After consulting her contact list for unscrupulous people, she enlists the expertise of Oliver Stayton, a crisis manager to assist clearing Sebastian's name. With an impressive record for cleaning up the reputations of other politicians, he's ruthless as he sets out a plan to win the election.

Logan Murphy who's still coming to terms with Ginny Moreno's deception becomes an unwilling pawn at a Senator Rush PR event. 

Ginny Moreno shows she's not a pushover whilst Dakota Alvarez caves into Marylee's demands in the hope she'll get back who she misses in return!

Payton Rush remains the stoic wife whilst seeking out words of support and comfort from her friend Francine.

Sebastian Rush's insincere tactics make Tate Johnson question his allegiance to the gubernatorial candidate or is he eyeing up ways to exploit the unprincipled senator for his own gain?

To sum up, Larissa Ione has done a fabulous job completing the scene setting for Rising Storm Season Two in the Autumn. I'm left craving more of this captivating and highly addictive series. One thing that's impressed me about the writing is that all the authors have brought their own style to each Rising Storm episode whilst managing to keep the flow consistent and seamless. If you've not discovered this series, there's time to catch-up before the new one kicks off later in the year...can't wait!
