At an industry celebration where Glory Group is about to be crowned Novaterra's No.1 automaker, Chloe forces a man named Will to 'bark like a dog,' calling him 'Ms. Green's dog' and humiliating him in front of guests. Colleagues admonish Ms. Green, the chairwoman, and several partners threaten to cut cooperation over her conduct. The confrontation escalates into public severing of ties. With one minute to the market close guests count down; the market hits $100 billion and Glory Group tops the charts without the partners—leaving Ms. Green exposed and consequences unresolved.
