'The Girls on the Bus' Episode 7 opens with Sadie engaging in a video call with a doctor, discussing the option of abortion.

The doctor informs Sadie that the abortion pill will be delivered to her and advises her to take a day of rest before the procedure. However, Sadie expresses concern that she cannot take a day of rest due to the upcoming Super Tuesday primaries. 

Sadie is determined to complete the abortion procedure, but she struggles to find a way to make time amidst her busy schedule. As a journalist covering the presidential campaign, her schedule is unpredictable, leaving her with little time for personal matters.

The upcoming episode may delve deeper into Sadie's abortion journey and the profound impact it has on her professional life. 

It becomes apparent that Sadie may not be able to proceed with the abortion procedure as planned, as her pill did not arrive on time. In the next episode, she may be forced to forgo the abortion if the time limit for taking the pill is exceeded.

Sadie's job requires her to stay abreast of developments in the presidential campaign and the Super Tuesday primaries.

However, with the potential delay in her abortion procedure, Sadie may find it challenging to focus on her work and cover a breaking news story. This turn of events could have a significant impact on Sadie's life.

Will Malcolm abandon Sadie McCarthy during difficult times?

Sadie is pregnant with Malcolm's (Brandon Scott) child after they had a sexual encounter, but Sadie does not want to be in a serious relationship with him.

In Episode 6, Sadie manages to get her job back after overcoming numerous obstacles. However, a condition of her return was that she was prohibited from using Malcolm as a source because he was a spokesperson for a presidential candidate.

In the last scene of Episode 7, Sadie reveals to Malcolm that she is pregnant, marking a significant development in their relationship. This revelation comes as a shock to Malcolm, who is visibly stunned by the news. 

Malcolm's deep love for Sadie is evident, as he confessed his feelings for her in Episode 6. After learning about Sadie's pregnancy, Malcolm may want to start a family with Sadie, but she wants an abortion. This difference in opinion could create a rift between them.

Throughout the series, Sadie's commitment to her career is evident as she prioritizes her professional responsibilities above all else.

Sadie's decision not to start a family with Malcolm appears to be final. Malcolm might decide to cut all ties with Sadie because she has never reciprocated his feelings and has always preferred a casual relationship.

Despite his feelings for her and his desire to build a future together, Sadie's priorities and decisions have consistently placed their relationship at odds. This realization could lead Malcolm to reassess his own priorities.

'The Girls on the Bus' Episode 7 is now streaming on Max
