After the quiz, Steve gathers everyone in his living room, including Felicity and Tony. Jeff reads aloud an encrypted message sent to him two days earlier from François Loubet. In the message, François says he does not believe Jeff is dead, claims he has now learned his lesson, and says he will leave Maximum Impact alone if Jeff stops interfering. François also mockingly mentions the evidence against Amy and sends his regards to Joe Blow, which makes Jeff argue the message sounds like Henk, while Henk insists Jeff is the guilty one because the client list was confidential.

The argument continues as Henk points out that Jeff, unlike Henk, could have arranged Kevin in South Carolina. Jeff explains that Kevin was only released from Rosie’s panic room the day before and was shot in the head within eight hours, showing that whoever hired him is eliminating loose ends. Steve then reveals the first of the two pieces of information he has uncovered: when Nelson was injured, Steve took Nelson’s SIM card and used it to contact Rob Kenna in Dubai. From that exchange, Steve concludes Rob Kenna hired Kevin and Nelson to kill Amy, and Steve suspects Kenna may also be behind Eddie.

Rosie raises another possibility: Eddie may have been sent to kill Rosie on Vasiliy Karpin’s orders, with Amy only caught in the line of fire. Jeff says he will try to contact Vasiliy. Amy asks whether Rob Kenna is working for Loubet, and Jeff says yes, but Jeff and Henk still keep accusing each other of being Loubet’s inside partner.

Steve then gives his second revelation and changes the direction of the discussion. He says neither Jeff nor Henk is likely to be working with Loubet, because anyone investigating properly would have spotted another pattern in the files Susan Knox provided. In all thirty-five relevant client files, a ten-thousand-pound introduction fee was paid to Max Highfield. Steve argues that Max recruited every one of those clients, making Max a far more significant link to the laundering operation than anyone had realized.

Jeff and Henk both resist Steve’s conclusion, saying Max is too foolish to be running anything important and questioning how Max could have accessed Loubet’s classified contact details. Rosie pushes the group to focus on a different question: why the criminals chose Felicity’s company in the first place, because that may be the weak point in the whole setup. At that moment, Felicity returns with tea and unexpectedly reveals that she once represented Max Highfield and was his very first agent, creating a direct connection between Max and her agency.
