"Shout Out" is often cited as a turning point in the season where the parallels between the three women become most clear. While separated by decades, all three women in this episode are shown attempting to humanize the Presidency. Viola Davis’s portrayal of Michelle Obama’s restraint in the face of tragedy is a highlight, contrasting with Gillian Anderson’s portrayal of Eleanor’s more aggressive activist approach.

In the 1930s storyline, Eleanor (Gillian Anderson) begins to prioritize her own happiness, moving her close friend and journalist Lorena "Hick" Hickok (Lily Rabe) into an adjacent bedroom in the White House. However, this newfound closeness does not go unnoticed. J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI begins a surveillance operation, capturing intimate moments of the two women together. While FDR (Kiefer Sutherland) eventually agrees to "turn a blind eye" due to his own past indiscretions, the pressure of public perception remains a constant shadow over Eleanor’s life.
