Hailey, a secretary, is ordered to deliver a proposal to Avilion Corp despite warning she has bad history with Mr. Mercer (Damon). Mr. Keaton insists she continue; John reluctantly accepts the elder Keaton's instruction and tells Hailey to handle the delivery. At Avilion, Hailey presents the Nandale resort development proposal, but Mr. Mercer refuses to let her read it and brusquely tells her to "Wait on the couch." The episode ends with Hailey left alone in the office waiting area, the decision forcing an unresolved, tense face-off.
