Desperate times call for desperate measures. Nate is just asking anyone close to him to give him some last-minute gossip as he is running out of time. Nate actually had many opportunities to get good gossip but at the start he was procrastinating as he thought he already had an unimpeachable source so Dee Dee got to all his sources first. After, Nate made a precarious decision to ask Gina even though they were archnemeses. If Nate had been more astute, he could’ve gotten to his sources first and might’ve even been able to weasel some information out of Gina.
