With Washington divided between President Stillman at Andrews Air Force Base and "Acting President" Hendricks occupying the White House, Bennett emerges from protective custody to tell his story in a measured interview that polarizes an already confused public. As the Supreme Court prepares to hear arguments on the constitutional legitimacy of Hendricks' claim to power, Bennett joins Stillman for a public address explaining the attempted power grab disguised as constitutional succession. Just as the tide begins turning, a bombshell revelation changes everything—a whistleblower leaks internal Pantheon communications proving the deliberate use of "The Insurgent" and its marketing campaign as cover for positioning assets and normalizing language of governmental transition. As the conspiracy unravels and history is rapidly rewritten, Garrett Fisher delivers his final podcast, reflecting on democracy's dependence not just on institutions but on citizens who can distinguish fact from fiction, even when powerful interests deliberately blur the boundaries.

Detained without charges following his interrupted Lincoln Memorial speech, Bennett watches from confinement as Speaker Hendricks assumes the powers of Acting President, citing the absence of President Stillman and incapacitation of Vice President Evans. As competing narratives battle for public acceptance—mental health crisis versus patriotic whistleblower—Bennett struggles to find anyone who will believe his warnings. Pantheon News portrays him as an actor who lost himself in his role, while their screens normalize Hendricks' assumption of power. When President Stillman unexpectedly returns to U.S. soil with military support, Washington finds itself divided between two centers of power—creating a constitutional crisis where Americans must choose which reality to accept. Garrett Fisher's podcast becomes one of the few voices questioning the official narrative as the line between fiction and reality disappears entirely.

On the day of the military parade and "The Insurgent" episode six premiere, Bennett discovers non-military personnel operating Pantheon-branded vehicles that break formation to secure key government positions. When he steps to the podium at the Lincoln Memorial to address thousands of fans gathered for the screening, Bennett makes the momentous decision to abandon his prepared remarks and warn the public about the real coup unfolding behind the entertainment facade. But before he can finish, his microphone is cut and security personnel escort him from the stage as the crowd watches in confusion, unable to distinguish whether they're witnessing a marketing stunt or a genuine constitutional crisis.
