Kendall arrives at Erica's office. A gracious Erica asks if she's ready to start her new job. Kendall recalls her last stint for working for her mother at Enchantment and how bad of an experience it was. Erica assures her daughter that this time, things will be much different. Ms. Kane gives her an orientation package, which also includes the computer password to the Enchantment computer files. Kendall is overwhelmed and is shocked that her mom is giving her all the secrets to her company on her first day on board. Erica assures her that she will be making fast calls and executive decisions while she's at Enchantment. It's important that she has all the company info from day one. Kendall throws down the folder Erica gave her and asks her what's really going on. Ms. Kane tries to assure her that she hired her because she can be a big asset to the company, not to make her look good in the press. Kendall asks where the hidden cameras are. Erica demands her to stop it and to start being serious about the job she's been hired to do. Kendall agrees to be civil, and then asks why she gave her access to the passwords to the company files. Erica says that Enchantment won't function without trust among her and her employees, including her. Kendall buys her excuse, and then asks when is the press conference to announce that Erica has hired her estranged daughter to work for her at Enchantment. Erica says that's a little premature. Kendall asks if she thinks that she's newsworthy. Ms. Kane urges her to prove herself first. Kendall asks if she even trusts her. Erica says that trust is a two-way street and that she needs to see if Kendall can earn hers. La Kane hands Kendall over a bunch of files and asks her to look over them and have a report with a four-month projection by week's end.

Ms. Hart assures her mom that she can do this work in her sleep. Erica leaves for the hospital and expects a progress report when she returns.

Bianca says that she just had to pick up the rest of her mail. Bianca asks how working for Erica is going. Kendall tells her about Erica giving her full access to all of Enchantment's files and asks herself what's up with that. Bianca says that it's a test and asks her if she thinks she'll pass.

Greenlee tells him to get on with the point. Leo tells her that on everything he meant to her, he's sorry. Greenlee never blamed him for what his mother did. He knows that, but he never looked out for her during the turmoil and he let himself get sucked into her games.
