At Dragon Group headquarters a noisy crowd assembles for one marine biology opening. A mother with a child is mocked for lacking a resume and nearly shoved out by applicants until she insists she majored in marine biology and asks to join the interview; Mr. Johnson stalls for Mr. Austin and brings the candidates along. Tension spikes when a rival confronts Elena, sneering, "Six years ago I could have easily killed you," claiming she still outmatches Elena. The hiring test is then announced: anyone who can 'tame her' gets the job, leaving the contestants — and the mother's fate — unresolved.
