And where are you now?

Uh, Wyoming.

Um, wait, Colorado.

Um, no, I'm sorry.

I might be in Montana.

We're rolling into Super Tuesday,

and shit has been a little crazy.

I've been in 26 cities

and 14 states in five days.

So wherever I am, I will
not be here very long,

so I don't really have
time for medical procedures

or waiting rooms or...

But you'll be in California by Monday

to receive the pills?

Yes. Uh, wait.

Yes.

Well, it looks like you qualify

for a medication abortion.

As you're under ten weeks,
you're within the window.

[EXHALES]

So how long will I be out of commission?

Plan for about 24 to
48 hours of downtime.

You'll want to be somewhere comfortable

with access to a toilet, shower,

ibuprofen, and menstrual
pads for at least 24 hours.

Would a souped-up Greyhound
with shoddy Wi-Fi work?

Sadie, you've got a
lot going on right now.

You may want to give
yourself a mental break.

Felicity Walker is tied in the polls,

and Super Tuesday is
right around the corner.

This is not exactly the
time for a nap, doctor.

[LAUGHS]

But I hear you.

Our online pharmacy will
review the prescription

and reach out within 24 hours

to confirm the delivery address.

If you have any questions, I'm here.

I appreciate it.

Thank you so much, Dr. Collins.

Thank you.

Holy shit. With how much earmarked?

I was wrong.

You were right.

Walt wants to give the story to Theo.

- He thinks it's a #MeToo story.
- Fuck Theo.

All he does is bask in the limelight

while everyone else does the reporting.

And he'll do it again here,

unless we come up with a
stronger Walker connection.

Well, remember that jobs
and infrastructure bill

that Walker co-signed on last year?

Guess who was the biggest contractor.

Not Beam Webb.

$21 billion, and a billion

earmarked to Novak's holding company

to build some bullshit wind farm.

It took every favor in my book,

but a source on
appropriations came through.

We can attribute to a person familiar?

Sounds like a quid pro quo.
