At a private gathering a woman begs Steve for an unstable rejuvenation pill; others argue the drug is risky and one insists this isn't their business. Steve consents, then the group moves to heavy drinking. Melanie, introduced as Steve's bodyguard, gets intoxicated despite warnings and rivals taunt her ability to protect him. A bullet is found and someone reveals there are four snipers, naming Rose as the threat. Guests are ordered to behave; with the pill unstable and Melanie impaired, the episode ends with the snipers in position and the party facing immediate danger.
