At an international signing about a firearm enhancement with Ublax, military representatives are warned to delay signing until the lead translator, Ivy, arrives. Higher-ups stress caution and watch for loopholes. Colleagues trade updates: Noah is in someone's care, and Karl faces a pending divorce; one suggests he might reconsider because Vera has changed, while another brags she will replace Vera and have Ethan propose once the divorce happens. When representatives arrive, Ms. Watkin announces the signing is starting. They head into the ceremony despite the order to wait, leaving Ivy's arrival unresolved.
