Just wanted to post some thoughts about S02E05 (I will be through with S2 on Nov 18th):
Kane is still adapting to the new situation and maybe not making the wisest decisions but he´s still selfless as ever.
But Abby... All S1 her selfish trait was visibly lingering in some corner - but S02E05 just proved how full of herself she is. And making her chancellor is IMO one very unwise decisions of Kane. Right now I just can´t imagine her changing in only 11 episodes.
