Stendig Set Off The Car Bomb That Killed Merritt Grove & Ronnie Buckhurst

Margaret Roylin instructed Stendig to set up the explosion to silence Grove

A far - right Member of Parliament name Lenny Stendig was the one who put up the bomb in Merritt Grove ’s car . Clearly , Stendig had intended only to take out his fellow MP Grove , and not Ronnie or any other American diplomatic staff member , in purchase order to silence Grove once and for all . Stendig feared that Grove would tell Hal and the Americans everything about their Roman Lenkov plot , which also call for Margaret Roylin ( Celia Imrie ) pulling strings behind Prime Minister Trowbridge ’s back .

The Diplomat stars Keri Russell and Rufus Sewell break down Hal ’s theme about " the cost of doing business " and Kate ’s reaction to it in time of year 2 .

Because Grove had begun to educate a shamed sense of right and wrong , Stendig ( who has yet to be depicted onscreen in the series ) had no other selection but to prevent him from revealing the accuracy . Although Stendig set up the hit on Grove , it was Roylin who orchestrate it in the first place . Initially , it appear that Roylin is taking orders from Prime Minister Trowbirdge or is acting independently to protect his false flag operation to unite Scotland and England to gain political favor . Ultimately , Trowbridge was get out completely in the dark as Roylin ’s orders came directly from U.S. Vice President Grace Penn , unbeknown to U.S. President Rayburn .
