How did I get so lucky,

to find someone who really
cares about my well-being?

Yes, I have been having
intimate thoughts about Ted.

She looked at me like she did
before we fell apart.

I have the great honor
to present this service award

to Detective Jacob Hawthorne,

under dangerous conditions.
[gunshots echoing]

You have a way of finding out
the Impaler's true identity?

Yeah, but this time, it involves you

sticking your neck out instead of me.

I'm gonna look the Impaler
in the eye and tell him,

"This is my territory.

"You want to play kingpin,

do it somewhere else."

Bring it on.

[sniffling]

[line ringing]

DANI [over phone]: Vanessa!

I am, uh, stressing.

Need you to talk me down.
Can you come see me?

What level of DEFCON are we at?

Should I bring Nicole, too?

Only you. I love Nicole,

but I need a friend, not a shrink.

[stammers]

You're less...

Judgy. I know.

You at home?

I'm at Joey's.

I'll text you the address.

Are you in some kind of trouble?

No.

I'll-I'll explain when I see you.

On my way.

Vanessa insisted
I come and watch your back.

She's covered, boss.

I told the guard at your condo,

if she steps one foot outside that door,

there will be hell to pay.

All right.

As long as someone's with her.

Uh, it's a good thing you're here.

You did the right thing.

[knocking on door]

You.

Not who you were expecting?

It's okay, Randy.

You can go.

You sure about that, boss?

[sighs]

Yeah, it's okay.

Isn't it?

Of course.

I've been waiting to be
face-to-face with you

for a long time.

??

Oh, Uncle Ted.
Andre.

Good to see you, man.
What brings you by?

Uh, just coming to check you out

before Martin's big fundraiser tomorrow.

Uh-huh.
You know, we won't have a chance

for a one-on-one
with a packed-out ballroom.

Well, as you can see,
I'm doing extraordinarily well.

Mm-hmm. I'm guessing
this good mood of yours

is because of a certain woman
in your life.

You'd be correct.

Mm. So fun.
[laughs]

Okay, well, I'm-a call you
after I meet up with my brother.

Ugh. I hope he's okay.

Yeah. So do I.

Oh, and don't forget about
the fundraiser tomorrow night

for my brother's congressional run.

What are you gonna wear?

You trying to coordinate the fits, or

is this your way of checking
to see if I'm-a show up

in Dunks and jeans?

You always look great, it's just...

Yeah, it's tricky with
the family, you know. I get it.

No worries necessary.

I'm in academia, you know?
I've got plenty of suits.

I'm so happy you'll be going with me.

It'll make me feel like less of an outsider.

Yeah, I'm sorry you still get tense

with all the Richardson-Dupree stuff.

[sighs] It's bad enough
when it's just family,

but this will be a whole different crowd

with stuffed shirts
and power players and such.

Sounds like a good time.
[laughs softly]

No, we'll find a way to make it fun.

Yeah.

MEGAN: We need to discuss
Martin Richardson's

fundraiser tomorrow.

The guest list and catering plan
should be finalized by tonight.

I've scheduled a meeting
with staff for review.

Good, but I stress: Everything
must run like clockwork,

especially given who'll be attending.

We've confirmed
Devon and Abby Winters,

Jack, Diane and Kyle
Abbott and Victor Newman.

[knocking on door]

[door opens]

[laughs]

Mama, if you are concerned about me

working from home today,
don't be, okay?

I can handle a lot of the work
for the clinic remotely,

and if the staff needs me,

they'll call me if anything
unexpected comes up, okay?

I don't doubt that you are handling

your responsibilities beautifully.

Nah, you want something.
What is it, okay?

I have inventory to finish.

All right, now, look, your brother Martin,

he's having this, uh, little fundraiser

tomorrow night at the club.

And so, I need you to get
on that invite list pronto

so that I can be your plus-one,

and then the night will be grand for all.

I'm already on the list...

Oh, wonderful, honey.
Then just put me on there.

And I already have a plus-one.

Say what?

Sorry, Mama, but I can't get you in.

Thanks for meeting up.
I'm always glad to see my little bro.

I'm surprised you called me,
though. We just seen each other,

like, the other day.

Yeah, but it wasn't one-on-one.

You've been so busy with work, and

I can tell you're going through it.

Figured I needed to do my brotherly duty

and check on you.

What makes you say
I'm going through it?

The way you were acting
at the commendation ceremony.

You cutting out early made it seem

well, like you weren't even
proud of the award.

It had me a little worried.

Well, I don't know
what you want me to say.

My best friend is dead.

Yeah, but that's not on you.

Well, let me tell you what is:

making sure that Impaler bastard pays

for the pain he's caused
and the people he exploited.

Until then, I don't give a damn
about some award or some plaque.

I'm devoting all my energy
to closing this case,

no matter how long it takes.

VANESSA: Thank you for coming.

You are such a good friend.

Whatever you need.

I tried to gauge what's going on

from that very large man in the hallway,

but he wouldn't give up any info.

He was polite, though.

That's because I gave him
a heads-up that you were coming.

He or someone like him
is always posted there.

Ah. How comforting.

My point is that we're perfectly safe.

It's Joey that I'm worried about.

The Impaler shares your flair
for the dramatic.

Hmm.
He asked for a one-on-one,

swears that he'd show up,

and then he sends you
in his place? For what?

I wanted to come.

As what?

His emissary?

His wife?

His right-hand woman?

Look, we'll get to all of that in due time.

Can I just-just, just...

Let's take a minute.

I haven't seen you for a very long time.

Look at you, Joey.

I've thought a lot about you
over the years.

Yeah. Me, too.

Constantly.
Really?

Mm.
Did you get my letter?

I just reread it.

The one where you said you
wanted to branch out on your own

and to not look for you?

I had to stop myself
from tracking you down.

I needed the time to be right.

I wasn't sure I'd ever see you again.

Here I am.

Aww.

[sighs]

I missed you.

I missed you, too.

Big brother.

[both laugh]

Well, things with Shanice
are on the upswing.

I mean, I had to work for it,
but it's only fair.

Yeah. Nothing's worth having
if you don't have

to put forth some effort.
[chuckles]

Well, actually, the way
things ended with Nicole,

I wasn't sure if I'd find it again,

but, uh, Shanice is smart and sexy,

and being in her good graces,
uh, feels amazing

to be this happy again.

I'm happy for you.
I'd be a fool

not to give this relationship
a shot, you know?

Try to build something at last.

Huh.

So, you're saying Shanice is your future?

There's only one way to find out:

going all in.
Mm.

I know a little something about that.

Joey is meeting with
a very, of course, dangerous

and powerful person as we speak.

I wanted to stay with him,
but he not only refused,

he told me to come here and

not to leave until it was finished.

I never thought I'd agree
with Joey, but he's right.

And bonus points to him
for looking out for your safety.

But Joey and I are partners.

Romantically, yes, but professionally,

I thought you handle Heart
Attach and some real estate.

That, and I've been pressing him

to make us equal partners
across the board.

I wonder if you and Joey

have different takes
on the business aspect

of your relationship.

Do you know everything that Joey does,

or that he's done in the past?

You might want to consider why
he's shielding you from that.

Mm, then maybe we should
change the subject.

So, tell me everything.

Well, I-I can't believe
you're still in the DMV.

I thought you would have
moved back to New York.

I never wanted to go back.

I wanted to stay on the East Coast,

establish my own business,

but without any ties to my old life.

Yeah, I understand wanting
to leave everything behind.

What about personally?

Did you ever have any little Josephs

or Josephines running around?
No kids,

and no desire for any.

Mm.

Can you see me at a PTA meeting?

[laughs] Actually, I can.

You would be the one over in the corner

teaching the kids how to shoot dice.

You make my point.

And I have no desire to walk
down the aisle again.

Really? So, no

special lady or ladies?

Something tells me you already know

the answers to these questions.

There's no way the top man
would send you in

for this meeting without
doing a background check.

Mm, checks were done, but

there's no nuance in reports.

I needed to see you directly.

Well, it's not easy to get info
on this Impaler person.

Apparently, he likes
to live in the shadows.

Mm, it's all just part of the mystique.

Fear of the unknown is a powerful force.

It's a great way to keep people in line,

and to keep oneself out of prison.

But you, little sister,

you worked your way
into the inner sanctum.

Must feel good to be
at the top of an organization.

I'm a simple businessman.

I own a casino.

I have some real estate holdings.
[laughs]

Is that the line you tell people?

Well, I don't know anything about you.

Not even where you live.
Me?

Oh, well, I mean, didn't
the cape give it away? London.

It's amazing. I love it.
It's just far enough away for me

to figure out who I am.

London.
Mm-hmm.

Huh.

Well, I knew the Impaler's
business was international,

but I didn't know he had a base there.

It could really be anywhere on the planet.

The most popular language
in the world is money.

And desire to have large piles of it is

well, it crosses all borders.

[chuckles]

I guess I shouldn't be surprised
to hear you speak that way

since you work for a crime lord.

But I got to admit, I was really hoping

you'd find happiness and success
living a nice, normal life.

Nice, normal. It's not the Armstrong way.

You know that.

I wasn't gonna condemn myself
to a life of

boredom.

Being basic.

Oh, come on.
You know, a little danger's fun.

I'm sure you have tales to tell.

Maybe, but I'm a lot more interested

in knowing why you came to me.

Oh.

Come on, sis,
you've been dancing around

like you're in Miss Joanne's
studio back in Brooklyn.

Miss Joanne.
Uh-huh.

[laughs]

Aww.
Come on.

What exactly is your connection
to the Impaler?

Oh, my dear brother.

[laughs]

I am the Impaler.

[laughs]

You're on a mission
to close the investigation

and get justice for Derek.

Nothing but respect, bro.

I know how much he meant
to both you and Naomi.

He was a stand-up dude, bro.

If you needed anything,

he'll drop whatever and help you out.

I'm glad you had somebody
like that around.

Yeah, me, too.

Usually, people run away from fires,

but with him, he was first in, last out,

and usually carrying a kid
or some pet that nobody saw.

And he was the same way
as a friend, too.

For years it was me, him,
Naomi and Ashley.

[laughs softly] The women
called us the Fearsome Four.

[chuckles]

And this was our hangout.

The circle frayed a little bit
when him and Ashley fell out,

but still, we were friends.

But now Derek's gone.

The tribe is broken.

And after everything
Ashley's been through,

she'll probably never be
the same person again.

But you and Naomi are still alive.

Still in love, right?

Still together?

Yeah, but we're not
as innocent as we were

when we first got married.

Yeah, but that's inevitable, man,

even in the best relationships.

Man, you just got to find your way.

It's not like you can adjust the clock.

Yeah, but still,

it's hard not to think about how different

things would be right now if I could.

You're the Impaler?

[laughs]

Well, it's good to know

you haven't lost your sense of humor.

You're definitely my sister.

Come on. Heather.

What exactly
is your connection to this man?

Tell me.
W-Why do you think I'm joking?

Because everything I've heard
about this man refers to a man,

and there's only a very small inner circle

that knows his real identity.
My identity.

It's just a tactic, Joey.

To lead people to believe...

Whatever the hell they want to believe.

They want to think he's horrific

and a-a, a big scary guy
out of a Bond movie? Done.

You're serious.

People eat it right up.

But I thought if I came here
and I told you to your face,

you would believe me.

Huh.

I do now.

I'm not the little girl
you have to protect anymore.

I found my power.

And I learned from the best.

You and Dad.
Don't ever compare me to him.

The world's a better place without him in it.
Look, I'm just

I'm just saying that I-I,
I got a lot of knowledge

observing you.

But guess I touched a nerve.

That certainly hasn't mellowed with time.

When it comes to him? Never.

I know you bore
the brunt of his hand, Joey.

I know that I didn't have to deal

with the physical abuse, but.

I certainly dealt with the age

the age-old sexism.

You know what he wanted me to do?

Find a man, start a family,

leave the business to the boys.

He never knew me.

He never understood my ability.

So, what?

You thought you'd prove him wrong

by creating something bigger

than he ever could have achieved?

I did all that for myself.

There's a big difference.

Well, now you've got me wondering

just how much of your visit is personal,

and how much is business.

Why are you here, Heather?

You know, I've got to admit,

outside of the big bodyguard
in the hallway,

when you said I was coming to Joey's,

I was expecting a different vibe.

What? Uh, were you expecting a smoky,

dimly lit lair with plastic on the furniture

like a '70s mob movie?

Can you blame me?

I'll confess, I was surprised
by his place, too.

The color palette's a bit dark
for my taste,

but it's giving
modern masculine sophistication.

That Joey's full of surprises, huh?

Gourmet cook, eye for interior design.

And what is this?

What a beautiful photo.

I don't think I've ever seen, uh,

an expression that warm on his face.

Uh

Joey wanted me to feel at home,
and this was my solution.

Most men can't handle when
a woman asks for her own drawer.

Look at this, front and center.

Got a shelf in the bathroom, too?

Check.

Space in the closet?

Double check.

And room for quite a few pairs
of my favorite shoes.

Forget I-love-you's. Now I know
you two are the real deal.

[laughs]

No way am I subbing out Izaiah for you

as my guest to Martin's fundraiser.

Hey, you did promise me
a girls' night. Mm?

Uh-huh. But this is so not that.

Okay, your boyfriend won't mind, honey.

All right? I mean, he's not even
the suit jacket type anyway.

And-and he would not
appreciate this event

half as much as your mama.

Okay, Izaiah is glad to be going with me,

and his brother will be there, too.

Yeah, well, Izaiah will
look good on your arm,

but what can he contribute to the "fund"

part of "fundraiser"?

Nothing.

All right? That's the whole point.

"Fund."

Okay, why are you so eager
to support Martin's campaign?

[sighs]

With wealth,

I have become more civically engaged.

Not to mention I'd like to be around

some of those movers and shakers

who can do some damage control
for the clinic.

Especially after this, this
blood ring business went down.

Okay, fine. I'll make you a deal.

Ah.
If you can name one policy

of Martin's that you support,

and then elaborate
why you're in favor of it,

I'll see what I can do to get you in.

But enough about my bliss.

How are things in your world?

Dani and Naomi holding up okay?

I mean, everybody's still reeling

over Derek's death.

And they're painfully aware

of how close they got to losing Jacob.

They're finding strength
in each other, though.

Mm-hmm.
I actually just had

a pretty deep conversation
with Chelsea the other day.

That's great, man.
Yeah.

You know, what you found
with Chelsea and Dani and Naomi

is real and strong.

Yeah. Dani's changed my life forever.

And I refuse to let that be one-sided.

She worries about her girls, so

if I have to help by being
an ear, I'm down for that.

I'm gonna show that woman every day

how blessed I am to have her in my life.

That's the tour.

I'm at home here. I...

The kitchen is the only room
I wouldn't dare touch.

It's Joey's favorite place.

Most men want a man cave
with a 70-inch TV.

Oh, Joey is all about his copper pots

and top-of-the-line range.

You know, not that I'm complaining,

since I benefit
from his passion for cooking.

A regular Gordon Ramsay.

Without the temper.

You know, I've hardly ever heard him yell.

[laughs softly]

I've heard they call him
the Gambling Buddha.

Who's "they"?

His friends, I suppose?

Who are his friends?

Why are you asking me that?

Because, as I look around this

admittedly beautiful and stylish condo,

there's only one photo.

Yours.

No friends, no family.

Just you and Joey.

Mm.

Joey has a complicated
relationship with his family.

Not much in the way
of personal items, either.

He plays his cards
close to the vest, Dani.

Which I understand,
given his profession.

Must be hard, constantly
living with your guard up.

He carries it well.

Hmm. How about you?

How are you going to integrate
Joey's lifestyle

with the people you love?

Meaning?

Donnell and Deanna.

They're not gonna be
at Banneker forever.

What if they want to move home?

I-If you're inviting danger
to sidle up to your doorway,

it's sidling up to theirs, too.

Why can't I keep my love life

and my parenting separate?

Sweetie, what happened the last time

you played between worlds?

Don't bring Doug into this.

I didn't call you for this.

I'm your friend, Vanessa.

And I'm not judging you.

Lord knows I have made my fair share

of passion-based decisions,

but I wouldn't be here today
if you didn't call me panicked

because Joey is at some intense
meeting that has you scared.

Now, I don't question anymore

whether you and Joey love each other,

but when are you going
to take the stakes

of this relationship with
the seriousness they demand?

I'm not risk-averse.

Never have been.

What about Donnell and Deanna?

Do you want them to visit you here,

walk past some goon in the hallway

and see you worried out of your mind

about everyone's safety?
[grunts softly]

Uh, I'm gonna have
to ask you to leave, Dani.

I know you have good intentions,

but I'll have to ask you to leave now.

Okay.

Listen, I hope Joey gets home
safe and sound.

Would you call me later
and let me know everyone's okay?

I will.

[door opens]

[door closes]

Are you getting nervous?

Wondering if you might need
one of the guns

you undoubtedly have stashed
around the room like Dad did?

Take it easy.

I'm just asking for clarification.

Well, I got your message.

Which one was that?
The one where you demanded

the Impaler close up shop,

get the hell out of your territory?

I have good news.

My ring isn't operating
in the DMV anymore.

But?

But we have many branches
in multiple enterprises.

And I'd like to forge a partnership.

You want to work together?

I want to work side by side,

the way that we always
should have been.

Sis, you and I have
very different business models.

Which is exactly why it would work,

because we complement each other.

I know that you

don't like certain parts of the business.

Certain unsavory parts.

You like to keep your hands clean,

and I don't share those sensibilities.

I don't find those problematic.

So, we would divide and conquer
and share the profits.

I appreciate the offer, but

I'm content with my casino and

my other local operations.

If you say so.

That's it?

You used to live for a good debate.

Well, I asked and you answered,
and, uh,

I should probably be going.

You need to open up your casino doors.

You're losing money talking to me.

This is probably the only time
in life that I don't mind.

Take care of yourself, Joey.

Don't disappear on me again.

Stay in touch this time.

Don't worry.

I intend to.

I feel you, on why
you're so messed up right now,

but I hope you can find peace

in all the good stuff you still got.

You know, people care about you.

Including me.

Thank you, bro.

And what you share with Naomi,

yeah, that's, that's special.

Oh, I know, and I don't
take it for granted.

You better not.

How'd Eva feel about
the Hawthorne gathering

at the station?

Eh, she survived
without too many scratches,

mainly 'cause Ma managed
to pull her claws in

and make an effort.

Not sure how long it'll last, though.

You know, Ma eventually
came around for Naomi.

Yeah, because she's a Dupree.

Uh, her name carries weight.

Eva, on the other hand?

She is not Fairmont Crest royalty.

She's Leslie Thomas's daughter,

notorious behind the gates for
completely different reasons.

Oh, I'm well aware.

Look, my point is,

for people like our mother,
or even Kat Richardson,

they might not ever see Eva for
who she is outside of her mom.

I mean, can you blame them?

It's hard to separate people
from the company they keep.

Leslie isn't "company."

She's Eva's mom.

And even though Eva
was under her thumb

when they got to town,
she's not anymore.

Look, man, I'll just have
to respect the fact

that you know her better than I do.

I do.

Yeah. Yeah, Eva, she

she likes to front like
she's all tough and scrappy,

and she is, to an extent.

She had to learn
certain things growing up.

But underneath all that, she's sensitive.

And it kills me when people
try to make her feel inferior,

'cause that girl, she

she might be the brightest thing
that ever came into my life.

I get it.

It's hard to watch the person you love

get hurt by somebody else you love.

But my advice?

Just keep the door open for Ma

in case she wants to meet
you and Eva halfway.

And if she can't do that,

you got to put your happiness first.

[phone chimes]

I got to go.

I appreciate you.

For all your advice.

I'm glad you're back with us.
Of course.

Love you, bro.

You sure are taking your sweet time

answering my question, Mama.

Just like I expected,

you don't even know
what the man's platform even is.

That's why people
go to these events, honey,

so they can, they can learn.

That's not why you go, Mama.

You go to work the room and see
who you can use to your benefit.

Just like you're trying to use me now

so you can barge your way in,

even though you weren't invited.

Oh, come on.

I'll behave.

I mean, I-I don't have
any beef with Martin.

I mean, look, he went out of his way

to extend himself to you,

and he-he welcomed you into the family.

He's followed the wonderful,
generous example of your father.

Unlike that little nasty, mouthy,

little trifling heifer, his little sister.

Okay, see, and there it is.

Honey for Dad and all the smoke for Kat.

What am I supposed to do if
she looks at you the wrong way

and then you cause a scene?

Or, God forbid, you throw
yourself at my dad again

and embarrass me?

[scoffs]

I've heard you, loud and clear.

Oh, my gosh, I'm sorry, Mama.

Don't leave upset.

Oh, no, no, no up... I'm not upset.

All right?

But I will be if you don't finish the work

that I gave you on time, so get back to it.

Enjoy your little self tomorrow night.

I'm sure it'll be sensational.

[chuckles]

[liquid pouring]

[exhales] Thank God.

I was so worried about you.

I'm all right. I'm all right.

I'm sorry I kept you waiting so long.

But hey, you had some company
to help pass the time, right?

The guard told you?

Of course.

He texted me to make sure it was
all right if Dani came in.

Hey, he likes you,
but he works for me, okay?

How was the meeting?

You look a bit unsettled.

[exhales]

You know, it's a rare day

when I am caught completely off guard.

What happened?

Heather showed up.

Your sister?

The one and only.

Not a word from her in all this time and

she just suddenly

a-appears? I...

When you're supposed
to meet this Impaler person?

That can't be a coincidence.

What it could have been
was a catastrophe.

But I made sure that didn't happen.

So, you canceled
your meeting with the Impaler?

It was necessary.

Joey, this man is dangerous.

If he gets angry, feeling like
he's been disrespected

by you...
He won't.

Vanessa, I deal with arrogant
megalomaniacs all the time.

What did you tell him?

I inferred that there's suddenly been

an increased police interest
in my casino,

and that it would behoove the both of us

if we were to change the date
and the venue for our meeting.

Of course, the Impaler was amenable.

And I had a lovely reunion with my sister.

You're sure he wasn't angry?

Not in the least.

Well

then tell me about your sister.

Did she take over your dad's business?

Not even close.

She went to London
and built her own organization

from the ground up.

She always was an overachiever.

I can't imagine

the swirl of feelings
you must be experiencing.

What was it like seeing her again?

It was like finding a part of myself

that has been missing,

for a long, long time.

So, this huge

enterprise that she's built in London,

is it legal or...?

Oh, we didn't even get into that.

It was so surprising, Vanessa,

to actually be in the same room with her,

talk to her,

hug her

after all these years.

Sounds like she was
just as happy to see you

as you were to see her.

Smiling, charming.

That's my kid sister.

[laughs softly]

It's gonna take a minute
to work through this.

I'm happy for you.

But

after all this time

what does she want from you, Joey?

I'm not really sure
what Heather's endgame is.

But I think I'll find out soon enough.

It was good chopping it up
with you, Uncle Ted,

but I'm gonna let you get back to it.

Got you, neph.
Mm-hmm.

Knock, knock. Oh, good, you're still here.

Sorry for the interruption, Ted.

No, your timing couldn't
have been more perfect.

Yeah, I was just heading out.
What are you doing here?

I stopped by Nicole's office,
but she's in with a client.

Mm.
Care to be my lunch date instead?

Let's do it.
Okay. Sorry, Ted,

but I got to make this a table for two.

No worries. Enjoy.

But, uh, before you go, could
I have a minute with you, Dani?

Sure.

Cool. Um, I'll wait for you by the elevator.

Okay.
Yeah.

I am bringing Shanice
to Martin's event tomorrow.

Lovely. We'll see you there.

Yeah, I-I just hope it wouldn't
be an issue with-with Nicole.

I mean, she's been
a little off around me lately.

I reached out to her, I haven't
heard back, I just...

Huh.

Uh, no, I think Nicole will be fine.

She's good, you're good.

Everybody's good.
Yeah.

Fantastic. I just want it to be a

perfect night for Martin, you know?

And that it will be.
Mm-hmm.

Bye.
Bye.

Ain't nothing like
some Thai food from our spot.

[chuckles] Thank you.

How did things go with Jacob?

[sighs]

I'm not really sure if my brother realizes

how much he's struggling,
but our talk was good.

For the both of us, I think.

How about you? Did you get
the clinic stuff organized?

[sighs] I wish. Mama dropped by

after she found out about
Martin's fundraiser.

She was all fired up
about me getting her in,

but I shut her down.

You don't sound too sure about that.

[laughs softly] Mama can be determined.

Well, this event won't be
the easiest to crash,

if that's where her head is.

That's what I figured, but

with Mama, you never know.

Ooh. Just the woman I needed to see.

Pardon?

Uh, you are the event planner
around here, aren't you?

I'm Megan.
Ah.

Have we met?

No, but I'm sure you've heard of me.

I funded the club's new rec center.

The Leslie Thomas Sports Complex.

Hmm. Yes.

Your name does precede you.

[chuckles]
How can I help?

Well, I'm aware that Martin Richardson

is having a little
fundraiser shindig tomorrow,

and my face needs to be in the place.

Oh. That falls under

guest registration, not me.

I deal mostly with facilitation of the event.

Vendors, equipment. Things like that.
Mm-hmm.

Well, surely you can point me
in the right direction,

because I'm sure there are
some seats available, yes?

Only a few.

This is a large-donor-focused
event, though.

Seats come at a hefty price.

Ooh. Hefty, you say?

Well, I'm sure it will be worth every cent.
