At a tense family birthday party, Landy tries to contact Ms. Taylor but fails, prompting urgent warnings to protect the chairperson from any harm. Landy, recently appointed lobby manager and unfamiliar with the chairperson, seizes the chance to prove herself while facing derision from family members who mock her pride and financial struggles. Despite offers of money, Landy refuses to accept charity, asserting she came to celebrate, not to beg. The situation escalates when her father angrily orders her out, rejecting her efforts and insulting her. The episode ends with Landy isolated amid mounting family hostility and a promise of retaliation for any offense against the chairperson.
