Felicity Walker (Hettienne Park), a formidable contender for the presidency, has become the talk of the town after shutting down a misogynistic man with her witty reply.

Walker makes headlines during her Las Vegas campaign appearance, where a man made a sexist remark during a press interview, suggesting that a woman's place is in the kitchen.

Walker removed her bra and set it on fire, sending a strong message against gender discrimination and standing up for women's rights.

Social media is abuzz with her name following the bra-burning incident. People are eager to know whether the bra-burning incident was staged or if it was a genuine, spontaneous action on Walker's part.

Lola is eager to uncover the truth behind the bra-burning incident, whether it was a staged event or a genuine act of protest.

Lola asks Malcolm (Brandon Scott) to help her in securing an interview with Walker. 

Malcolm, after some reluctance, eventually agrees to assist Lola in securing the interview with Walker. However, he sets a condition: Lola must also ask Walker the questions that Sadie McCarthy (Melissa Benoist) had prepared.

The episode concludes with Lola and Sadie sitting together, discussing how the former managed to include the latter's questions for the interview.
