S1, E2: The president summons Benedikt to present him with the power to form a government. The voter turnout, however, was 89,4%. Benedikt refuses the offer. He made a promise to the nation. Behind the political curtains, the race for power is now afoot. Hrefna leaves Grímur and moves in with her mother. Amused with the lack of content in old coalition treaties, Benedikt recruits Hrefna to direct a Twitter festival, where anyone can tweet an idea and the ideas with the most retweets will be handed to those in power. But Twitter is bigger than Iceland. Soon millions of people have tweeted. Steinunn slyly uses Twitter momentum to have the nation convince Benedikt to take office. Benedikt abides. Steinunn’s father has information relating to Benedikt’s mental health. The information will be leaked to the media if she doesn’t convince Benedikt to appoint Eggert a minister instead of Grímur.
