Meg is in a penthouse where a man kisses her—forceful, iron‑tight grip yet restrained, more intense than Sawyer's. Sawyer brought her to drug Alaric Stone so Diana would see what a 'bastard' he is. Diana hates filthy women; Sawyer says Meg must play along, and she panics but tells herself it's under control. Suddenly Meg wants the encounter to be real for her, not for Sawyer. At the top-floor penthouse they hear someone inside. Now Meg faces a choice: drug Alaric as planned or act on her own impulse.
