Hilary refuses to let Neil muscle her out. She thinks she can handle all of her duties. Devon (Bryton James) arrives and learns Hilary fast-tracked the drug. He wonders if it’s too soon. Hilary claims they considered the options and she felt it was best to move forward. Dr. Neville comes in and wants to speak with Hilary alone.

Dr. Neville runs a few tests on Hilary in her suite and expresses doubt about the drug rollout. Hilary says she could turn Dr. Neville in for kidnapping.
