She's eventually allowed into a private conference for reporters... after RFK's speech, which he would not make it to, although she does get the scoop on his murder.



* MushroomSamba: Jimmy and Cooper go through one when they accept acid from a drug dealer. Of note is seeing an average cupboard open into footage of events from 1968 whilst the two are under acid.

* AllForNothing: Teased but thankfully subverted. Diane marries William to keep him from being sent to a battlefield, only for him to be shot mere minutes after the ceremony as collateral damage during RFK's assassination. The subversion comes from how (like everyone else shot besides Kennedy himself) William survives.
* BecomingTheMask: William and Diane are getting married to keep him form being sent to a battlfielfield, but seem to develop some more genuine feelings as the story goes on.
