As Bennett grapples with the Secret Service agent's questions, news of the Pope's death and President Stillman's trip to Rome dominate the headlines, overshadowing the plummeting stock market. After meeting with Harding's mysterious associates, Bennett finds himself drawn deeper into their conspiracy despite his misgivings. When Pantheon Plus organizes a special screening of "The Insurgent" in Times Square, what should be a simple promotional event transforms into something more politically charged as attendees arrive with "Course Correction" signs and anti-Stillman messaging. Bennett's unease grows as the network distributes branded t-shirts and fans blur the line between fictional entertainment and real-world politics. Meanwhile, Garrett Fisher's podcast dissects the latest episode of the streaming drama, noting eerie parallels to current events. As "Course Correction" rallies begin forming organically across the country, Bennett receives an ominous text from Harding about military convoys near Washington D.C., suggesting that what began as television fiction might be evolving into dangerous reality.
