Hailey scrambles to drop off her child Cody after arriving late; the child asks for braised ribs. At work Mr. Keaton insists Hailey must deliver the Nandale resort proposal personally and refuses to trust anyone else. Coworkers scoff that Hailey could have a child. At Mr. Mercer’s office, secretary Jeffrey Vale makes her wait and refuses to accept the document on her behalf, forcing Hailey to hand it over in person. She delivers the proposal to Mr. Mercer, and as she turns to leave he calls Hailey, stopping her and leaving his reason unknown.
