BIO Martha received a Bachelor Of Arts in Art History from Stanford University . Prior to marrying into politics, she served as a member of the Santa Barbara Museum Board of Trustees. She first met Charles Logan when he was serving in the California State Legislature . She was the most trusted advisor for the indecisive politician. However, at some point she suffered Mental Illness and was committed to a Mental Institution . Martha was a close personal friend of David Palmer , and was devastated by his death. Prior to his murder, Palmer had discovered a Traitorous Conspiracy involving Logan's Chief Of Staff Walt Cummings and ex- CIA agent James Nathanson , and had planned on alerting the Logan Administration using Martha as a go-between (he asked to meet with her about a "matter of national security"). Martha was convinced that Palmer was killed to prevent this meeting from taking place, but President Logan (not yet revealed as complicit in Palmer's murder) attempted to downplay her hysterics as delusions from a disturbed woman. At one point Logan spoke of having Martha committed. Eventually Martha obtained physical evidence proving Palmer tried to warn her of some national emergency. Logan decided that with Martha getting closer to uncovering a conspiracy, he would be best served to keep her close to him. Martha was eventually vindicated when Cummings was exposed and she seemed willing to forgive her husband for apparently dismissing her as crazy. Several hours later, Charles Logan is forced to provide Terrorist s with the Russian president's Motorcade in exchange for no further American deaths. Frustrated with Logan's negotiation with the terrorists, Martha decides to join the motorcade behind his back. The motorcade is ambushed, but Martha survives, shocked that her husband was willing to sacrifice her and the Suvarovs. When she learns how Logan agonized over this decision, she eventually forgives him; though still upset, she realizes that, in the midst of the current crisis, the country needs her husband more than she does. Around midnight, Martha learns that James Heller has demanded a meeting with Charles. She asks Aaron Pierce why, and he says he will meet her later. However, Aaron is nowhere to be found at the meeting place, leaving only his cell phone on the ground. Very close to discovering the truth, Logan confesses to Martha his responsibility in Palmer's death and implores her to remain quiet for the good of the country. Martha tells Logan that she hates him and will never forgive him but does not want the country to suffer because of him. Logan later assures a man known as "Graham" that Martha has been dealt with and if she learns the complete truth, he will deal with her accordingly. TRIVIA Before her vindication, a quick scale of squeaky notes would accompany the background soundtrack whenever her character appeared, known affectionately among fans as the "cuckoo music". |
