Eleanor, deeply affected by the devastating impact of the Great Depression on the nation, urges Franklin to take more decisive action and advocates for a groundbreaking formal role within the administration as she assists in shaping his inaugural speech. Following Nixon's resignation, Jerry steps into the presidency, and Betty takes on the role of First Lady just days before a significant state dinner, which Jerry's team attempts to cancel.
