Adam finds Sally at Society. He asks if she found a place to stay, considering there are no suitcases beside her.

She offers a drink but he hasn’t had a chance to review their HR policies and something tells him this would be frowned upon. She thinks Adam should suspend the policies for the evening. He says that’s what probably got her in trouble at Fenmore. “Causes you’re such as tickler for rules,” she teases. He is sure she has a future at Newman Media and since he feels so confident about it, he’ll let her buy him a drink. They drink together and she gets right into tasting it and telling him exactly what she tastes in the single malt.

Chloe calls what she saw flirting. Kevin interrupts. Introductions are made and Sally reminds Chloe that she said everyone deserves a second chance. Chloe says those with hearts and consciences do, not the town sociopath. “You guys are brutal,” Sally says. Chloe brings up her BFF Chelsea, who was a con woman who thought she could handle him and she wound up in a psych ward. Kevin agrees he does this all the time. Sally’s shocked. Why is Chloe willing to work with him? Chloe says he owes her and Chelsea but they won’t trust him or let their guard down.
