The Minister

Benedikt follows a strict routine to try to manage his deteriorating mental health; Steinunn supports him while dealing with political pressure; Grímur tries to step into Benedikt's role.

Steinunn confronts Benedikt about his medication, and their strained relationship is evident during Christmas preparations.

Benedikt is transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but a reckless joke he makes becomes a media scandal that isolates him politically and leaves Steinunn and Grímur trying to deal with the consequences.

Benedikt gets into a fight with Svanhvít over budget cuts; Steinunn faces challenges in work and family life; Grímur tries to support Benedikt, but rising tensions leave him increasingly isolated and unstable.

A new bill is presented that targets Benedikt; Svanhvít pushes for the bill, while Grímur and Steinunn try to protect Benedikt; his actions at a tense meeting of the Nordic Council in the Faroe Islands are causing problems in international relations.

Benedikt faces opposition trying to secure financing for mental health assistance, which leads to concerns about his own stability; his behaviour becomes more unstable and Steinunn and Grímur have difficulties dealing with the consequences.
