Meanwhile, the President is focused on the disappearance of Kiki Pew, and is quick to declare her a victim of rampaging immigrant hordes. This, it turns out, is far from the truth, and a bizarre discovery is made in the middle of the road, which brings the First Lady's motorcade to a grinding halt.
