Backstage after the match, a fighter admits he cut the cameras and blocked Mason’s escape, but Mason isn’t dead and the mission isn’t finished. The Master scolds him for nearly blowing their cover; the fighter vows to fly out and 'unplug him' to secure the win. The Master threatens to make him wear cat ears; he brags about revenge on the Zeals and shows swollen wounds. Jane reports a donor has been found and Mia’s surgery is Friday. An angry woman accuses the Master of stealing her master and sister; he replies, 'What if I say I do?'
In front of Mia (the Master), a man loudly declares, "I am taking her from you," targeting Jesse — called the love-struck brother — and provokes a confrontation. Jesse lunges while others question whether Mia is protecting him. The man proclaims Hugh's devotion but claims he will be Mia's future boyfriend and husband, citing his one-week bet win, Mason's critical injury, Sam being abroad, and the Zeal family's losses to justify his advantage. He even offers 500 push-ups as penance for a kiss. The episode ends with his dominance asserted and Mia's choice unresolved.
A person sneaks into the Searle office to fetch files for Ms. Searle but is discovered; they notice a present, lament a lost ring and even consider offering themselves as a gift. The scene cuts to Yvette waking from a nightmare where her father's voice repeats the command 'Avenge the Searle family' and urges her to take responsibility. She wakes blaming herself for not avenging them. The episode ends with someone noticing her distress and asking if she had a bad dream, leaving Yvette's guilt and the vow to act unresolved.
After waking from a nightmare, the Master is tended by an attendant who demonstrates new massage techniques—neck rubs and an 'abs massage' claimed to relieve hand tension—and offers to be his 'blankie' so he won't have nightmares. The Master resists as the attendant grows bolder, touching his abdomen and testing his reactions. Their private moment is abruptly cut when someone at the scene issues a violent warning against entering again. Undeterred, the attendant asks, "Master, you also have feelings for me, right?" The episode ends on the Master's stunned silence and an unresolved choice.
Sent to Ms. Searle’s office to sort files, an employee opens a drawer and finds the ring they once gave the Master. They confront him—"You also have feelings for me, right?"—and press him to admit it. While a colleague mentions Jesse’s eighteen years in hell and how Yvette helped him, the discovery forces a private reckoning. The Master refuses, insisting they’re not right for each other and muttering, "A stray dog could never deserve the moon." The confrontation breaks off when someone calls, "Hugh?", leaving the question of feeling unanswered.
Sam never left the country; he’s seized a hospital patient to force a bargain. A parent blames Sam for turning their son into a vegetable and demands retribution. Sam calls the hostage a bargaining chip and pressures Yvette to hand over the Searle family fortune or give up Mia. Yvette screams, "Don't you dare touch Mia!" Jesse is shamed for failing to protect his sister. The leader reveals a 20-year revenge plan and vows to clear all obstacles. A subordinate vows not to be a weakness. The episode ends with Jesse called amid ominous laughter, his choice unresolved.
Jesse wakes back at the scene and is reassured by someone at the scene who also warns him not to act impulsively. The focus turns to the sleeping Master: someone notices he cried and asks if he was dreaming about his parents. That observation shifts when another person insists the dream belongs to the Master and says, 'This time, you dream about me.' The episode moves from bedside care and a rebuke to a sudden personal claim that reframes the Master's dream about his parents. The shift leaves the Master's emotions exposed and the consequences unsettled.
Someone offers the Master a bargain: they'll "destroy the Zeal family" as a wedding gift in exchange for something in return. The demand escalates from payment to control over the Master's dreams. The speaker tells the Master he can only see his parents "in your dreams" and adds, "When you see me, you can do anything you like." The key turn makes the dream the Master's only refuge and the speaker's claimed space of freedom. The episode closes with the Master left to decide whether to accept the costly bargain.
Inside a quiet room, two allies plan their next move while one defends Jesse after preparing his favorite soft‑boiled eggs; the same person calls Jesse "my disciple," saying the gesture proves trust. The other reports Sam has really gone abroad and that a formidable relative of the Zeal family has arrived. Tension rises as the newcomer is described as no pushover. The mentor's trust in Jesse and the group's hardening resolve culminate in a vow: they will show no mercy to any Zeal. The episode ends with that vow hanging over an imminent confrontation.
When staff learn Mr. Zeal has fled abroad, Yvette is declared acting CEO and office gossip explodes. Colleagues mock her, insist her 'male disciples' handle the dirty work, and warn that if Leo saw her now he "wouldn't rest in peace." The rumor-driven contempt grows into open scorn and challenges to Yvette's legitimacy. That charged exchange is abruptly interrupted when someone offscreen is confronted by an unidentified voice: "Who is this? ... You have three seconds to turn it off." The episode ends on that demand, leaving the immediate choice—and potential exposure—unresolved.
