The Measure

Jack is waiting backstage for Anthony’s event to begin. He hopes that what he is planning to do will cause Javier to forgive him. Just before he walks out on stage, he puts a pin in his lapel identical to the one that Lea had worn. After Anthony begins his speech, Jack grabs the microphone. He introduces himself as the short-string nephew Anthony refers to, but says that Anthony doesn’t care about him, only about the election. A bodyguard drags him off the stage, and Anthony finishes his speech. afterwards, he, Katherine, and Jack’s father come backstage. Anthony physically attacks Jack, but Jack’s father pulls him away.

Amie and Nina haven’t spoken since their argument, and Nina has disinvited her from the wedding. Amie feels guilty, and wonders if her reaction was actually about Ben, as Nina said—she still hasn’t written back to him. Online, she sees a student in South Africa giving a speech about the strings, and coming together, wearing the same pin that Jack wore. The student uses the phrase “strung together,” which becomes a catchphrase for a new movement. Amie realizes that it is not too late to apologize to her sister and be there for her.
