At Atlas Corp's charity gala, siblings Riley and Rhea Shelby are stopped because they're not on the guest list when Mr. Devin inspects entries. Staff shame them, blaming their mother Willow's 'reckless' past and labeling them 'kids of unknown background,' so they're denied entry. Riley protests while the tablet is handed over; Mr. Devin presses staff and the children insist they have a mother. Whispers escalate and a guest blurts, "Your eyes are exactly like Mr. Ives!" The remark hangs unanswered as the siblings remain barred and the possible link to Mr. Ives goes unresolved.
