Laugesen is using his new paper to spread rumours about Birgitte's government, including one that Birgitte is having an affair with her new spin doctor, the rhetoric professor Tore Gudme. She soon realizes that the real cause for their revolt is because they remain loyal to Laugesen, now editor-in-chief at the tabloid Ekspres.

She also courts the Greens with the new Ministry of International Development Hesselboe had offered her. She goes to Marrot and delivers an ultimatum: either Labour backs her, or she accepts Hesselboe's offer. Despairing, Birgitte considers accepting Hesselboe's offer but decides to persevere after a talk with her mentor Bent Sejrø. Thinking Höxenhaven a better choice than Laugesen, she gives her consent, but Labour instead chooses Bjørn Marrot as its new leader. However, Laugesen's second-in-command Troels Höxenhaven, whose wishes to be Justice Minister have been dashed, secretly offers to release xenophobic e-mails written by Laugesen if she agrees to support him. Hesselboe, too, approaches her, offering her several ministries, including a new Ministry of International Development, if she joins a right-wing coalition under the Liberals. Laugesen, backed by the other left-wing parties, demands that she step down and recommend him to take her place, offering her the Foreign and Justice Ministries along with minor portfolios. Suddenly it seems like Birgitte's party may be asked to form a government, with her as prime minister.Įpigraph: "The prince knows that it is far safer to be feared than loved." - Machiavelliīirgitte is appointed Royal Investigator by the Queen and begins to hold talks with the other parties.
