Fabricated 'President's Commission for Hispanic Opportunity' Letterhead (Mandy's Prop, S1E09)

A single letter‑size sheet printed to mimic official White House stationery: bright white paper, crisp edges, a bold masthead reading "President's Commission for Hispanic Opportunity," a centered title line and the suggestion of an institutional seal. The page looks freshly produced in haste yet professionally formatted. Mandy holds and admits she created the sheet; Toby and Sam handle it as a rehearsal prop, waving it as documentary proof while preparing to present the fabricated commission to Judge Mendoza.

Staged Commission, Tense Complicity

The fabricated commission letterhead is invoked explicitly by Mandy as the material evidence that makes the lie plausible. She admits creating it, which functions as both a tactical detail (a prop to sell the ruse) and a character beat that reveals the team's willingness to manufacture institutional legitimacy on short notice.

Before: Recently produced by Mandy and in her possession as a hurriedly created prop to lend credibility to the invented commission.

After: Still in Mandy's control or immediately available as a rehearsal prop; its existence has been acknowledged to colleagues as part of the cover story.
