[27] But in January 2013, it was announced that the premiere had been moved from February 5 to February 19, so that the network would be able to air all thirteen episodes in a row without being pre-empted by a speech that Barack Obama, the just-re-elected President of the United States, was slated to make on February 12. [2] In January 2013, during an interview, it was announced that story-lines for the season would include Kate going into politics, and that Megan would be probing more deeply into her father's suicide, for which she would most likely get closure by the season finale.
