Boss season 2 episode 2 Through and Through follows the continued drama of Chicago Mayor Tom Kane (played by Kelsey Grammer) as he navigates the political landscape of the Windy City. In this episode, Kane's health begins to deteriorate even more rapidly, as he battles with symptoms of his neurological disorder, which he has kept hidden from those closest to him.
Kane struggles to maintain control and power over the city, as his own personal struggles threaten to derail his political agenda. Meanwhile, his former disgraced advisor Ezra Stone (played by Martin Donovan) attempts to make a comeback, seeking Kane's forgiveness and help in getting back into the game.
At the same time, Kane's daughter Emma (played by Hannah Ware) starts to get more involved in her father's work, and begins to uncover some of the city's darker secrets. She realizes that her father is not the only one with secrets, as she discovers a shocking revelation about her own family.
