President's Event Tent

A sprawling white canvas pavilion pitched for the President's outdoor appearance, its wide flaps unzipped for an open-air exit that now unleashes security hawks. Media frenzy circles this breach point—no Secret Service lockdown, just exposed vulnerability—while C.J. hammers Toby over phone lines from the hospital, Sam's blame-sharing grip tightening around its procedural ghost amid beeping monitors and frayed loyalties.
