Plot Summary:During a congressional recess, Frank attends the dedication ceremony for the new library at his alma mater, Santino Military Academy, where he once studied and endured mockery and humiliation. As a senior, he nearly got expelled for running in a senatorial race. Now, he has donated to build the library, which is named after him. At the dinner, Frank meets Remy Danton, a representative from Sanko Corporation, who tries to persuade him to change his stance on the Pennsylvania River Basin Bill. Frank deflects by citing the recess as a time when public business is off-limits. After dinner, Frank and his three closest friends explore the old library. Meanwhile, Claire calls Adam to relieve her stress. Peter lobbies unemployed shipyard workers in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, but faces cold treatment from his mother and friend Paul. At a community meeting, workers oppose the river basin bill. After a fight with Paul, Paul decides to help Peter. In a bar, Peter convinces the crowd to look toward the future and gains their support. Woken by Claire's call, Frank attends the library's ribbon-cutting ceremony, delivers a strong speech earning applause, though Claire detects something troubling in his demeanor. Peter wins his first battle—when visiting his mother, he shows improved attitude and even asks staff to replace light bulbs, radiating confidence. After the ceremony, Frank says goodbye to everyone, gazing thoughtfully at the name inscribed on the library.
