Bamie immediately becomes primary caretaker for the new baby, Alice Lee. Roosevelt sells both his house and his mother's, moving Bamie and Alice Lee to a smaller place on Madison Avenue.

After the fight for presidential nominee, the Republicans choose Blaine. Roosevelt responds to these disappointments by travelling west.
