This morning Herman Group and Parsern Group announce a strategic partnership for the trillion-dollar Colesevain Project, yet Javion is told, "Today is your last day," even after landing a big contract. The celebration is cut short when Mr. Herman gets a hospital call: Ms. Mason is making a scene and demanding discharge. At the ward, Ms. Mason returns and asks her comeback be kept secret until she can settle in with her daughter. She panics, asking, "Where's my daughter?" and a child's cry—"Daddy!"—turns the moment into an immediate, unresolved family crisis.
