Isabelle confesses to Mr. Holden and keeps pressing him after he rejects her, triggering a family plan to stop her. Advisers say if Ms. Brooks marries Mr. Holden she would gain Osview's top backer, force Nicholas to call her "Aunt," and end parental favoritism toward Isabelle. Mr. Holden orders Nicholas and Lena to the office tomorrow at 8:00 and reveals he has coveted Celia for ten years. Celia is then accused of tattling to Holden and denies it. The episode ends with Holden's summons and the unresolved, pointed line: 'Who said you could sit down?'
