S1, E5: A Ukrainian woman, a doctor by education, is to be deported with her son. Benedikt is granted the temporary power of president whilst the president travels abroad. Steinunn prepares her birthday party at the cabinet’s venue of entertainment. As Benedikt learns about the deportation, he finds them and declares that they are granted a residency permit. The system resists so he, as the temporary president, publishes a provisional law granting them citizenship. It is soon discovered that it must also be signed by the president of the supreme court - or the parliament. As a desperate measure, Hrefna asks Grímur to sign. Having consulted with Steinunn’s father, he signs. In return, he wants their support when Benedikt inevitably must resign. Benedikt’s mind is now so elevated and manic that the birthday party is an embarrassment for Steinunn. Grímur tells Óttar to look into Benedikt’s mental health.
