Aides' Campaign Leaflets

Fiona eyes these printed campaign leaflets carried by the White House aides into the small-town diner parking lot. She accuses Toby, Josh, Donna, and Tyler of abandoning the materials behind, her suspicion boiling over into open distrust of their political intentions. Toby fumbles reassurances while the leaflets stoke fears of disrupted local life.

Diner: No Cable, Dry-Rub Calm

The aides' campaign leaflets function as an implied threat in Fiona's questioning — the material stands in for outsider political intrusion. Though not distributed here, the leaflets are the reason for the owner's distrust and shape the tenor of the exchange.

Before: Physically in the aides' possession or campaign vehicle, intended for distribution elsewhere along the trail.

After: Not distributed at the diner; remain with the aides, having provoked suspicion but not used in this encounter.

Before: Conceived as potentially present (Fiona sees them drive up), presumed to be in the campaign vehicle but not used in the diner.

After: Denied by Toby and not distributed; the accusation still leaves a residue of distrust.
