Hmmm. *I thought a GFCI outlet covered the whole circuit for

Depends on how you wire it. If you use the "load" terminals to feed
the downstream receps, then yes. If you connect all wires to the
"line" terminals then only the GFCI recep itself is protected. Don't
even need to pigtail as most GFCI receps use clamp terminals under
which you can put two wires each.
