In 'The Girls on the Bus' Episode 5, Grace tirelessly pursues a major breaking news story linked to the South Carolina primary.

When Grace finds a number on a piece of paper in Sadie's room, things drastically change. Viewers see Grace's curiosity increasing as she suspects Sadie is onto something big.

Grace's fate takes a significant turn when Sadie confides in her with a secret about Felicity. 

In Episode 4, Sadie gets a call on a burner phone, urging her to probe into Felicity's super PAC. As Grace becomes aware of this information in episode 5, she becomes determined to get a major scoop on Felicity.

After returning to the campaign trail, Sadie proposes to Grace that they split the work on the Felicity story. However, given Grace's strong inclination for independence in her reporting, it's unlikely she'll work with Sadie on the story.

In the last few episodes of 'The Girls on the Bus', it becomes evident that Grace is an experienced journalist who values her independence when it comes to pursuing major news stories. At times, she even prioritizes her career over her daughter.

In 'The Girls on the Bus' Episode 5, it becomes evident that both Sadie and Grace are keen to cover Felicity's story as she leads in the South Carolina primary.

Any major story on Felicity could be a significant win for the journalists, potentially elevating their careers. 

When Sadie suggests they team up to work on the Felicity story, Grace is unhappy, possibly indicating her preference to cover the story alone.

Their relationship may become strained in the upcoming episode due to a disagreement over their working dynamic. Grace might choose to pursue her sources independently, seeking information on Felicity without involving Sadie.

Will Grace and Sadie find a way to compromise and work together effectively, or will their differing approaches drive a wedge between them?

It will be intriguing to see how Grace and Sadie cover the story of Felicity being a competitor.
