After a clever trap exposes a spy base in Imperia's city center, attention shifts to Jill and My Lord negotiating money and favors. My Lord, pressed for funds, is mocked about his wife's influence. Jill bursts in: "Jill, I did it! He promised us the shop!" Her tip secured a shop, but startup funds remain. She refuses to seduce Ben for cash and cites angel investors and a future IPO. They argue about verifying accounts and using family wealth—Mother-in-law's richest—then Jill asks My Lord to be their first member to finance gifts, leaving him to decide.
