He doesn't have to rewire the whole circuit. The receptacle he runs the cable

the GFCI.

Why GFCI the grounded one.

To provide ground-fault protection at that receptacle as well as the
downstream ones.

Put the GFCI in the next one if you need 3
prong plugs.

Put it in the first one, and you have GFCI protection at all receptacles on
the circuit, including the first.

Put it in the second, and you have GFCI protection at all receptacles on the
circuit, *except* the first. What's the point in that?
