Ms. Dutt shocks the crew by appointing a former laborer, Quinn, to an assistant role with generous pay and weekends off. When a colleague objects that he's unfit, Ms. Dutt fires the complainer and warns others—"that's what happens when you mess with my man." She orders Quinn to report tomorrow using her name and declares him her right-hand. Coworkers are forced to grovel, and Quinn's ex pleads in vain, reminded they broke up seven years ago. The episode ends with Quinn installed in power but surrounded by coerced loyalty and uneasy fallout.
