7. Reality Check

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.
