In this episode Mr. Diggory meets three associates who report they secured Horizon Group's funds, which let them pressure an elderly target. They reveal all money has been transferred and Horizon is now an empty shell. Their plan is to seize control to attract Walker Group — Linsford's top consortium — and then dominate Bayvale. Mr. Diggory promises wealth if they follow his instructions. He then admits he's old and has no children, implying a need for successors. The meeting is cut short when someone cries, "Dad!" and a partner rushes off, leaving succession and the takeover plan unresolved.
