Paul Smith, president of Horizon Group, shows up asking Lewis for five million to pay his unpaid workers after his company collapses. Lewis taunts him, recalls lending Paul two thousand in college, and demands public humiliation: "Kneel and beg me!" Paul resists but is pressed by the immediate threat to his employees' homes and pay. Cornered between pride and duty, Paul ultimately agrees to kneel to secure the funds. The episode ends on that choice — Paul on the verge of humiliation while it remains unclear if Lewis will actually hand over the money.
