Flying out in the company jet, Katherine, Sadie, Wesley, Cyrus and Jack are meeting Ted, the company's head of manufacturing, in Millbank, Iowa where the company is reopening the factory it shut down thirteen years ago, it is the manufacturing site for the new Payne Pikas. While Wesley and Cyrus have their own personal agendas on this trip, it is primarily a ceremonial one where they will do a meet and greet with past employees who have been rehired, and hold both a community event and a ribbon cutting presided over by the Governor, Tom Harper. The reopening is seen as the catalyst for revitalization of the otherwise decaying town. With hours until those formal events, they learn that the autocratic government of the eastern European country of Bolvaria has put in a last minute bid for the location of the factory in their country. With the offer by Bolvaria seemingly too good to pass up despite the bad optics and the commitment already made to Millbank, it is up to Sadie to put a positive spin on the issue if Katherine does make the decision to relocate to Bolvaria, the whole story easier if they can make those in Millbank change their mind about wanting the factory in their town.
