However, Rosemary advises him to curb his anger and not blame everything on Mike. Elsewhere, Elizabeth is concerned about Lucas getting involved with Wyman Walden and tries asking about their business deal.

Now, he begins to feel that there is something fishy about Jerome and his associates agreeing so easily to the proposition. Thus, he discusses it with Lucas and Fiona and they all consult Bill about the same.
