In the Madam Secretary episode “Refuge,” Jay (Sebastian Arcelus) and Kat (Sarah Ramirez) work with Elizabeth McCord (Tea Leoni) to stop a foreign country from terrorizing LGBTQ citizens. They turn to Brent Rose (guest star BD Wong), executive director the Human Crisis Foundation, for help on the ground. Meanwhile, McCord’s assistant Blake (Erich Bergen) and speechwriter Matt (Geoffrey Arend) have an after-work drink with Captain Ronnie Baker (see photo below).
