Ms. Clarke is locked inside a top‑floor room after someone shuts the door and staff warns her to behave while Mr. Hampton is expected. She frantically calls Connor, gives her location—the CEO's office is to the left of the corridor—and urges him to open the door. Repeated attempts to reach him fail as shouts and hallway voices escalate and the arrival of Mr. Hampton looms. Rescue stalls and her messages go unanswered. The episode ends with Ms. Clarke telling Connor, "I can't take you away anymore," leaving the immediate outcome in doubt.
