Last Time on The Red Election (summary of Part 2)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Cora is torn on what to do after getting the mysterious order to kill Madison. She decides to stake out Madison\u2019s house to deduce if there\u2019s any truth to what the mysterious texter claimed. As she\u2019s staking the place out, she sees someone drive up in a jeep and start walking toward the house with a gun, ready to kill Madison.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Quentin Rose, aka Cog!<\/p>\n

Cora intercepts him. They have a fight where he admits that he is in fact Cog, he also got a message to kill Madison, and he\u2019s going to do it because he\u2019ll do anything to change their shitty future. She tells him that he can\u2019t kill the president, and even if Madison is the once-and-future POTUS, at this point in time she\u2019s still an innocent teenager. Cora says they don\u2019t know enough about what\u2019s going on to start killing people. He sneers that she\u2019s a hypocrite\u2014she does have the nickname \u201cButcher,\u201d after all. Finally Quentin stalks away\u2014without killing Madison.<\/p>\n

At school the next day, Cora manages to corner Quentin, and they have a long conversation where they trade information and speculate about what\u2019s going on and what they should do about it. They don\u2019t reach a consensus before the bell for class rings and they\u2019re forced to split up again.<\/p>\n

Later in the day, Cora gets more mysterious text messages. She\u2019s able to figure out that Madison\u2019s election to student president is the first step in a chain of events that leads to the downfall of the U.S. In a science class with Quentin, Cora explains the key to fixing the future is for Madison not to become school president; instead of killing her, she suggests that Quentin run against her. Cora volunteers to join the cheerleading squad as well, as a way of keeping track of and sabotaging Madison, who is the cheerleading captain. Quentin thinks it\u2019s a stupid idea, but agrees to it as an alternative to killing Madison outright. If he doesn\u2019t win the election, then they\u2019ll kill Madison.<\/p>\n

He \u201cjokes\u201d: \u201cVote for me, or I will literally murder the competition.\u201d<\/p>\n
