At a nightclub, Lawson heir Steve dodges responsibility, but his parents burst in to drag him home after five days of partying. They warn him the company's rejuvenation drug has sparked death threats, accidents, and attacks on researchers, and that four major families are closing in. Steve shrugs off danger until his father reveals a plan: they've asked Mr. Wood — the infamous female bodyguard once called Dark Dragon — to protect and discipline him. The episode ends on a tense beat: she has already arrived in Riverton, and Steve's safety hangs unresolved.
