In 'The Girls on the Bus' Episode 9, viewers are transported to New York for the Democratic National Convention.
Let's discuss the events of 'The Girls on the Bus' Episode 9.
Sadie McCarthy vows to uncover the truth after Bruce Turner's death
In 'The Girls on the Bus' Episode 9, Bruce Turner (Griffin Dunne) delivers an inspiring speech to The Sentinel’s journalists ahead of the Democratic National Convention. However, he suddenly collapses in his office and dies.
Despite her sadness, Sadie is determined to uncover the truth about who instructed Declan Morales to send her the burner phone and to write about Felicity's Super PAC.
Declan discloses to Sadie that a man named Dick Braun funded Felicity's PAC anonymously. Despite being one of Felicity’s main donors in the previous election cycle, she severed ties with him and returned his donations after he became embroiled in a scandal.
It appears that Dick Braun intends to damage Felicity's reputation as a form of retaliation. However, Sadie suspects that Dick may have been working with another candidate behind the scenes to guarantee the success of his plan.
As the episode progresses, Sadie discovers that someone paid Dick to tarnish Felicity's reputation, and the perpetrator is a man running for president. Malcolm (Brandon Scott) assists Sadie in uncovering the truth.
After Biff de la Peña (Mark Consuelos), another presidential candidate, withdraws from the race, Sadie suspects that Hayden Wells Garrett (Scott Foley) is the mastermind behind the entire plot.
In the upcoming episode, Sadie may delve deeper into the connections between Dick and Hayden, searching for evidence to support her theory.
She may confront Dick and inquire about the entire plot. If Dick reveals Hayden's involvement, Sadie will have concrete evidence to support her suspicions and write an article exposing the entire plot.
This article could have a significant impact on Hayden's reputation and potentially harm his chances with voters. On the other hand, it may also clear Felicity's name and reputation, which was previously tarnished by the scandal.
However, if Dick fails to reveal the truth behind the plot, Sadie may need to intensify her efforts to uncover the truth.
Who can win the election?
Following Biff's withdrawal from the race, there are three other presidential candidates: Althea Abdi (Tala Ashe), Felicity, and Hayden.
Considering Althea's limited screen time and character development, it appears unlikely that she would win the election as she has not been given enough development or focus in the story to make her a viable candidate.
However, the presidential race has become a closely contested battle between Hayden and Felicity, with both candidates enjoying strong support and compelling narratives, making the race too close to call.
Their screen times also suggest that both Hayden and Felicity are central to the storyline. Viewers can expect intense political drama as the race between Hayden and Felicity heats up in the upcoming episode.
'The Girls on the Bus' Episode 10 is expected to reveal the winner of the presidential election. Considering Hayden's recent deception, it is likely that Felicity will win the election.
His involvement in the scandal and the revelation of his true nature are likely to damage his credibility and appeal to voters, potentially giving Felicity an advantage in the election.
Written by Amy Chozick, 'The Girls on the Bus' Episode 10, titled 'The Everydays,' is likely to conclude with Felicity winning the election.
Additionally, there are hints that Sadie and Malcolm may start a relationship, as they had a sexual encounter in Episode 9.
