I don't know what the event is yet. It's a build up each week with new things revealed each week, but as of now I am not certain exactly what event they are referring too. It's definitely got my interest though.

Could it be that The Event will turn out to be the President having an affair with a Sarah Palin character?
Anything is possible, but as of yet I haven't seen a Palin type character (it would be a comic relief though). However......there is a character that can see Russia from her house.
