Three days before an election, party leader Birgitte Nyborg shakes up her campaign by denouncing her closest ally, sensitive information about the prime minister's shopping expenses lands in the wrong hands, and the rising star of the evening news is shaken by an unexpected death.

Birgitte Nyborg is undeniably the winner of the election, doubling her party's seats in parliament. Focus now turns to the negotiation of alliances and the forming of a new coalition government. Turbulence and surprises ensue, and Birgitte's election win begins to look more like a loss. Katrine is going through hell, but continues her dedication to her work. And in addition to losing his job, Kasper is losing his grip.

After only a few short months as prime minister, Birgitte Nyborg has negotiated her first finance bill into place. But before the final ratification, several members of parliament withdraw their support. Ousted politician Michael Laugesen is in a new position as a newspaper editor and is out to get Nyborg. And while Kasper finds a new job, Katrine is still extremely vulnerable as she experiences yet another shock. Written by Karen Charlton

Television journalist Katrine Fonsmark gets the scoop of her life when an anonymous informant contacts her with important security policy information. The pressure is on prime minister Birgitte Nyborg to kill the story, but she decides not to intervene. In the process, Katrine finds herself in some intense situations and runs into problems with her boss, but in the middle of the turmoil help appears from an unexpected source.

With the support of her Minister of Trade, Birgitte puts forth a proposal for gender quotas on Danish companies' boards of directors. The proposal meets resistance both in and out of government - and the country's most powerful businessman gives Birgitte an ultimatum that could have serious consequences. Meanwhile, Katrine turns down an offer of help to take better care of herself, and Kasper gets into a muddle with the ladies.

Birgitte faces her first state visit, as the president of the former Soviet republic of Turgistan comes to Denmark and announces his intention to invest one billion euros in Danish wind turbine technology. However, the simultaneous arrival of a renowned Turgistani poet and dissident, places Birgitte in the middle of a significant, escalating conflict. She also faces some conflict on the home front.

When surveillance equipment is found in the offices of an extreme left-wing political party, it looks like the work of the Danish Security and Intelligence Service - but why? Illegal monitoring of a legal political party is a serious offence, and it quickly becomes clear that Birgitte and her minister of justice have very different opinions of the case. Meanwhile, Birgitte's home life suffers from her absence. Written by Karen Charlton

It's summer, and not much is going on in parliament. Yet when Michael Laugesen announces that he has written a book containing disclosures from his years in politics, something happens. Kasper is forced to deal with people and events from his past which he has fought to put behind him. Meanwhile, Birgitte realises she must make an effort to win back her home life, and plans a holiday for the whole family.

Though Birgitte is surprised at the defence minister's choice of new fighter jets, she allows him to make public the decision on the government's behalf. When unpleasant surprises surface in the wake of the big plane purchase, the media launch an offensive against members of parliament. Birgitte, meanwhile, becomes more and more controlling both at work and at home, while Katrine runs into problems with her boss when she acts too arbitrarily.

Birgitte is suffering in the opinion polls leading up to the start of a new year in parliament, while the Labour Party is picking up headway and clamouring for more influence. The press wants to do a story on Birgitte's private life, which isn't prospering. Kasper has his hands full and agrees to something he really doesn't want - and the situation spirals out of control. Though it looks like Katrine might have the opportunity to return to TV1 News, it won't be without complications.
