When
Marius says everything is wrapped up and suggests they relax, the
main character counters with a summary of their situation: they still don't know who wiped his gallery's CCTV footage, they still haven't found
Alex Schneider, and they still don't know who's backing Alex as his internet maneuverings seem beyond his capabilities. Marius points out that he can't let things out of his control spoil the good in his life and invites the MC to a folk music bar to relax. At the bar, Marius discusses a new attitude toward Pax and thanks the MC for being genuine about her care and willingness to stand by him.
Back at home, Marius is surprised to find
Austin, his father, present and confirming he'll support Marius forever in anything he does, even against
Pax's Board of Directors. He then moves on to questioning Marius about his relationship with the MC, encouraging him not to hesitate, then asks for a status update about
Giann.
