At a public event, Blaire's driver refuses to move and is shoved into a confrontation with Jason Carver, heir of Platinum Group. Jason snarls that nobody crosses him in Ustyae and threatens the driver with violence. Onlookers cite Jason's ruthless reputation and demand the driver kneel and apologize. Blaire interjects, telling Jason to relax and leave it, but Jason escalates, saying he could kill the man like crushing an ant. Instead, amused, he unexpectedly spares the driver. The crowd reacts in disbelief; the episode ends on that stunned silence and the clear, unresolved danger Jason represents.
