Max is into movie funding, despite Lee's disinterest in the script and awareness of presales and star power [is there more than a hint of what Maclear went through in getting Dealers made?]. Petra, a former colleague of Sylvia's, goes headhunting Declan, Michelle, Sirrka, and Chas, till it becomes obvious they are scheming to remove those hired by Sylvia's predecessor, Sylvia's her least favourite employees and the Dealing Room's principal performers. Sylvia gets carpeted for this abuse of position and neglect of corporate loyalty. Declan and Michelle attempt a trial reunion.
