- At 2 P.M multiple cartons of Chinese food and a presentation were assembled on the First Floor West Wing.

Slides after that get even more embarrassing, Alex starts wishing for a 'sweet release' from the situation. (On page 237)
- "Okay. Before we start, I- I want to be clear, I love you and support you always. But this is, quite frankly, a logistical and ethical clusterf!ck, so we need to make sure we have our ducks in a row. Okay? "(237).

- Alex has been working on his mother's campaign for the election. He values the job because he wants a future in politics. Alex tries to protest his mother's decision but she tells him "You're way too close to the sun". (On page 238 and 239)
