S01E06
Title: On the Edge of Conflict Plot: As tensions soar during the Cuban missile crisis, the United States and the Soviet Union teeter on the edge of war; Jackie decides to part ways with JFK after enduring one betrayal too many. "The enduring impact of Jack and Bobby Kennedy was their commitment to resolving political turmoil with minimal violence... We avoided war with the Soviets. If that situation hadn't been managed effectively, we might not exist today. Everything else fades in comparison to that." - Writer Stephen Kronish
