The episode opens with headlines announcing Marc Newton's marriage to Colette Fisher, granddaughter of Kase Fisher, a public alliance meant to revive the struggling Fisher Group. At the wedding Marc bluntly tells Colette he has no interest in her and that their marriage is merely for show: she must appear when useful and otherwise be expected to turn a blind eye. Rather than submit, Colette challenges him. After the confrontation she tells Martin to ready a car and locate Marc. She intends a personal surprise and leaves to find him, leaving their power balance unresolved.
