At 9:48 a.m. Ms. Powell witnesses Victor attacking a woman in the office. Mr. Reid confronts Victor and warns that the board is digging into his scandals, using the incident as leverage. He admits he staged the exposure so Powell would believe he's on her side. Praising her skill, Reid returns a gold watch and Powell asks what he wants in exchange. Reid replies he'll agree to any request, even if it means giving himself to her. The episode ends with Powell facing a choice: what demand will she make now that Reid holds Victor's fate?
