Susan says it doesn't mean Nate would attack Chris, but Mark tells her he told Chris the same thing earlier in the evening and that an argument had ensued. Susan wonders if Mark has told the police about it: Mark confirms he hasn't because he didn't want to jump to conclusions and make the same mistakes that he did before.

She points out it would be great to finally live the dream. Paul admits he can't remember saying that. Dakota is annoyed, but explains she needs the capital to get the business started, organising the legal aspects, and someone else's name on the paperwork because she can't risk being found. Dakota adds that it would be a good investment and says she has though about the moment she kissed and slapped him since it happened. Before leaving, Dakota says she will understand if Paul turns her down as she is just grateful for a safe place to stay, and kisses him before getting into the lift.

Nate adds that they are just different people but demands to know what Kyle means when Kyle says they also have different care factors. Kyle retorts that Chris has a fractured skull rather than a stubbed toe and wonders if Nate knows what happened, implying that Nate had something to do with it.
