At Sean's first birthday since recovering his hearing and speech, Luna Stone announces a dramatic gift: herself and everything under her name at Stone Co. At the party, Kilan Arden barges in, accuses Luna of pretending to be deaf with Sean to boost him, and reminds her that her parents promised him an engagement. He taunts, "After proposing to Sean, he probably won't bother me again," and a rival openly insults Luna. Guests murmur as a child is coached to greet her. The episode ends with Luna's public pledge challenged and the promised transfer suddenly in jeopardy.
