At a company site, someone complains about Ms. Langford's wasted lunch, then asks, "How did you find me here?" The group discovers the senior engineer sent by Gibson Tech—the same man who picked up Steven days earlier—has arrived for fieldwork. Ms. Sorell worries that her acquaintance with Steven will spark suspicion that they arranged the meeting. Colleagues suggest assigning another tech staffer to shadow Steven and tell Ms. Sorell to review project requirements with him. They agree to arrange backup, but a skeptical "This better be a coincidence" leaves exposure unresolved.
