In the previous episode of The Girls on the Bus, we saw the characters amidst the ups and downs of the excruciating election campaign, struggling with their own personal lives. Grace was having a tough time being a responsible mother, while Kimberlyn could hardly give the time to her fiance with the wedding preparations. Meanwhile, Lola, a self-made journalist, doesn’t know the jargon in the world of journalism, which exposes her to silly misunderstandings like showing up in a swimsuit at the journalists ‘Pool.’ Sadie, on the other hand, is trying to solve the mystery behind the burner phone until she receives an anonymous tip with dirt on Felicity Walker’s campaign.
With Caroline Bennett out of the presidential race, Walker had become the new face. However, Bennett’s scandal didn’t help her cause much. The Geriatric was the new frontrunner now, followed by the ‘Hot White Guy,...

The Girls on the Bus is HBO Max’s latest political drama, portraying the lives of four political journalists covering the candidates for the presidential election while trying to make a name for themselves in the process.
