At a formal gathering the narrator grabs the microphone and instantly draws attention, while parents and guests stare in surprise. Eric sits beside the narrator's dad and, seeing his flushed daughter, threatens the speaker if he causes trouble. The narrator insists he isn't a wastrel, declares he can earn money, and reveals guilt over LumiTech's bankruptcy: as its sole heir he vows to save the company. Wealthy onlookers and Olivia react with disbelief; Sid worries about his own reputation. The episode ends with his pledge, "I'll change your opinions about me," hanging unresolved.
