On campus a woman asks Joseph to use his Sanders connections to slip past the student council and pull strings at the Best Singer finals. Joseph teases her, then agrees after she reminds him he’s always covered for her. When she demands a reward she first offers to call him “my brother” and suggests making him a Sanders, which Joseph rejects and fears would cost him “everything.” She then says there’s an easier, faster, lawful option instead of becoming a stepsister but refuses to explain. Episode ends with Joseph committed to help but kept in the dark about her plan.
