Taylor West sneaks into Edric Byrd's residence, claiming she is not who she pretends to be and insisting she’s running from enemies. Edric interrogates her, suspicious she might be sent by an adversary named Kim, but decides to observe her intentions rather than expel her immediately. Meanwhile, Ms. Hayes aggressively attempts to enter Edric's home but is repeatedly blocked by Taylor. Edric orders Taylor to eject Ms. Hayes, showing his trust in Taylor despite doubts from others. The episode ends with an unresolved tension over Taylor’s true motives and Edric’s hidden preferences hinted by someone nearby.
