A Dream in Vintage Silk - Episode 5

Hermes is confronted after an inventory mix-up at the Red Star Garment factory. An incorrect restocking swapped lists, leaving 3,000 pieces unusable and prompting client Mr. Warren to threaten to blacklist the company. Mr. Lorenz fears unpaid wages for over a hundred workers. Mr. Lorenz's wife has been altering damaged items, turning long sleeves into short sleeves, pants into skirts and scraps into headbands, which management calls ruinous. He orders 50 sample sets by tomorrow with red overlocking thread. Hermes is told, "I'll be here." The episode ends with one night to prove the samples can avert disaster.
