During a tense public scene, a woman slaps a man named Henry after he ignores her and flirts openly with another man, Mr. Jones. Henry offers her a challenge: to win a project, she must beat three of his men in a pool game. With stakes high, if she loses, she must obey their rules and back off. The woman accepts the challenge despite her inexperience, and an intimidating man warns a bystander to stay out of the conflict. The episode ends as they prepare for the first game, with control over the project hanging on her skill at pool.
