The episode begins with Audra catching up to Kyle in the maze, hoping to talk. Kyle assumes she wants to push her perfume company agenda again, but she claims she only approached him out of vulnerability. Kyle is not convinced and calls her out for trying to use him emotionally and professionally. Audra denies wanting to sleep with him and claims her relationship with Victor is strictly business. Kyle accuses her of manipulation and reveals he already told Victor and Nikki about her failure.

Audra warns him that turning against Victor will only push Claire further away. Their argument intensifies, and Audra suggests that Kyle is projecting his guilt and nearly cheated on Claire. Kyle insists he and Claire will move forward, and Audra walks off, warning that he has crossed the wrong person. Elsewhere on the train, Jack opens up to Diane about his disappointment in Billy. He is frustrated that Billy is still obsessed with reclaiming Chancellor and questions if his support is enabling Billy’s destructive behavior. Diane urges Jack to consider stepping back, though she knows he will struggle to cut ties completely.

In the bar area of the maze, Billy approaches Cane and praises his recent success. The two reflect on Damian’s death and Jill’s absence. Billy brings up Abbott Communications and proposes a partnership. Cane, still processing the tragedy, says he cannot focus on business yet. Billy tries to convince him that the timing is right and offers a pitch, but Cane remains noncommittal. Meanwhile, Chance and Victor continue their interrogation of Carter in the main train car. Carter claims he was in bed when the murder occurred, but his alibi does not hold.

Victor suggests Carter is protecting Cane out of loyalty. Carter denies but confirms he owes everything to Mr. Dumas, Cane. The tension escalates when Victor reveals that someone saw Carter planting the bloody knife. Carter calls the accusation desperate, but slips by mentioning it was found under a sink, information Victor and Chance never disclosed. Cane appears and asks Carter to speak privately. In the locked room, Sharon picks the lock and frees herself and Nick. A guard confronts them, and a fight breaks out.

Nick takes a blow to the ribs before knocking the guard out with a champagne bottle. He is badly hurt, and Sharon runs for help. Back in the maze, Sharon finds Billy and urgently pulls him to the scene. Billy and Sharon return to find Nick bleeding and barely conscious. Billy checks his wound and realizes it is serious. Sharon panics, unsure how they will get help in time. The episode ends with Carter cornered and Nick’s life hanging in the balance.
