Ava Reed meets Luke Shaw, a composed man with sharp eyes, who offers to sell her an Early Ascon coin in excellent condition for one thousand. He promises to bring her more unusual antiques in the future. Ava reveals her interest in collecting Ascon era silver and asks if Luke has any small ingots, hoping to complete her collection and possibly gain luck. Luke, coincidentally possessing such ingots intended for melting into jewelry, agrees to sell them at a price of one thousand per tael. The episode ends with Ava facing the decision to purchase, setting up further dealings.
