Margaret Roylin’s true intentions are revealed in Season 2 ofThe Diplomat.

She does not remain hidden for long, though.

It turns out that Prime Minister Trowbridge was not the one to pull the trigger, but Margaret herself.

She ordered the missile strike on the HMS Courageous without the knowledge of the Prime Minister.

Later in Episode 4, Margaret reveals this information to Trowbridge, admitting that she ordered both attacks.

This causes Trowbridge to attack her before some fellow parliamentarians pull him back.

The reason for Margaret’s murderous strategy seems to be one of unity.

However, things have backfired, and Trowbridge is left to pick up the pieces.

The DiplomatSeason 2 is streaming onNetflix.
