In a tense office showdown, colleagues accuse Gigi and Jerry of scheming to oust Ms. Kent—who founded the firm—after Ms. Smith, only a month on the job, becomes boss. Staff remind Gigi that Ms. Kent gave her the internship and covered a $50 million mistake, and they blast Jerry for siding with Gigi. Jerry admits, "Maisie did mentor me," then vows, "I'll take the chance today to repay your kindness." Suddenly Gigi activates a system command: "transfer all the pain to the contract signer." The scene ends with the system engaging and the office reeling from an immediate, dangerous consequence.
