A reporter from Parade magazine named Scott Woolley interviews Karen about her new status as CEO of Walker Inc.

Using his knowledge about Karen's mismanagement of company resources and plummeting stock value, Scott takes the matter to the board of the company and they vote for Scott to replace Karen.
