A younger player has just broken her record—and Carrie is determined to do whatever it takes to win it back. While she’s focused on reclaiming what was once hers, she also begins to rethink her relationship with her success. Who, exactly, is she playing for? As Reid reveals the answer, she underscores the challenges and complications that come with being the best of the best. —Annabel Gutterman
