At a high-end party, staff try to eject a "bottom-tier salaryman" accused of forging an invite. Dutt confronts him until Mr. Edith reveals Ms. Milton’s platinum invitation and proves the signature genuine, forcing an apology and calming the scene while the VIP urges celebration and asks Iris to enjoy the event. Later at the office, Dutt berates Maud for nearly causing scandal. Quinn then demands entry—"Let me into the party. I'll definitely make him embarrass himself!"—leaving Maud with an immediate, unresolved threat to handle.
