Muriel

Muriel charges Sam's communications office alongside Jane, her probing questions slicing through his post-scandal armor before unleashing the Everglades salvo: $8 billion restoration gutting sugar subsidies to savage Ritchie's Florida empire. Enthusiasm propels her pitch on rescuing the low 48's vast subtropical wilderness from pollution's chokehold, forcing the governor to burn cash defending home turf. Desperation surges as Sam storms out—she hurls clarifications that it's no tax, not subsidy slaughter. Co-author of the memo Toby and Sam seize as offensive genius, she ignites junior staff fire amid campaign bloodletting, her policy blade honed for political evisceration.
