Ms. Chappelle stumbles out of a tense encounter with blood on her suit jacket; Mr. Baker helps and she impulsively asks him to be her bodyguard. He resists, citing her existing security and his unwillingness, but she presses him—saying with him around she won't be abandoned—and offers to return his jacket after she washes it. As their uneasy negotiation leaves Baker's commitment unresolved, a bystander suddenly erupts with a public accusation that Caden will divorce someone's son, turning a private safety plea into a public scandal and leaving the next risk unanswered.
