The brief

Candace opens with a mathematician’s estimate of the odds of encountering Justin Baldoni in Iceland, then pivots to the investigation surrounding Charlie Kirk’s shooting.

The episode examines how Butch Hibbs obtained access to Kirk’s event shortly before the shooting, including an unusual last-minute request and a front-row seat.
