At her father's funeral, Nora is confronted by Maxim, who accuses her of coming for the inheritance and offers a lowball check: sign a transfer and take 100 million for shares he admits are worth tens of billions. Nora refuses; an ally warns her not to sign and questions whether she can survive under the family's far-reaching, legal-and-illegal power. Maxim escalates with veiled threats—"you'll wind up broke and dead"—but Nora rejects the buyout and refuses to cede the shares. The episode ends with her defiant retort, "We'll just have to see about that!" leaving her safety and claim unresolved.
