After the man's death, Hansen and an associate panic when huge loans taken out in the deceased's name threaten to fall on them. They learn the deceased's assets are registered under Hansen's daughter and must be transferred quickly while the Collins family could still press claims. The associate reassures Hansen, "I've got you," as they rush to avoid liability. A stranger interrupts: Joanna meets Miranda Smith, who introduces herself and says, "We'll meet again." With assets to shift, debts unresolved, and Miranda's sudden appearance, their next move stays undecided.
