During a tense family confrontation, Terilee is threatened by armed challengers who mock her new bodyguard. They order him to kneel, escalate to violence, and attack. Instead of submitting, the bodyguard fights back, taking down assailants and drawing the group's leader's attention. Impressed, the leader offers to hire him for ten times Terilee's pay; the guard refuses, and the leader immediately raises the offer to twenty times. The episode ends with his refusal and the raised offer unresolved, leaving the bodyguard facing a decisive choice.
