The Barbieville Business Owners Association is focusing on the members impacted worst by the flood. Mei Chang has lost home, cafe, and husband. Four Eaton his grandfather/business partner. Iris Patrick her tailoring business. Whitney Darling's father owned WDLC, was lost in the flood, and she inherited.
Rose-Grace: This may be weird, but we've never been a normal town, have we? Sulu suggested this meeting and has offered campsites on his property to anyone lost their home. Most of the losses were homes, some residents are being housed in motels by insurance, but many are not. If you know of anyone in need, please send them his way.
Dionne: I can't pay near what you were making from the cafe, but Helena House needs kitchen staff. Do you think you're up for supervising a bunch of kids as they learn basic cooking skills? We can also offer room and board.
Mei: You can board all four of us? We would only need two rooms - one for we girls and a smaller one for Qi - until I find a house. We won't need boarding permanently.
Dionne: Of course. Now, let's talk about wages and benefits.
Pocahontas: I was discussing you and Dawn with Tierra, my entertainment head. We could use you for wardrobe on shows. Tierra's got a lot of ideas.
Iris: It would just be me. Dawn's moved on.
Pocahontas: Really? Well, that's fine. I really didn't know if I'd have enough work for both of you. We'll order the costumes premade and you'd just have to make alterations and mending. Doesn't pay much, though.
Iris: Coby makes more than enough to support us. My shop was more of a hobby.
Four: I don't know if I can make it without Bapo. I'm still so new at tattooing professionally.
Whitney: At least you're trained. What do I know about running a TV station?
Okoye: I can help you there, Miss Darling. I'd like to buy you out.
Whitney: Who are you?
Four: That's Okoye, the media mogul. You just got your butt saved, my friend.
A man comes in while everyone is conferring.
Tony: I'm Anthony Lucas, Rayshawn's brother. I'll be handling matters for his family for now. (To Rose-Grace) My brother speaks highly of this town and of the lovely mayor. I just stopped in to introduce myself and let anyone who might be concerned know that Marty is in good hands.
After the meeting, Rose-Grace finds Agent Danvers in the parking lot.
Carol: We need to talk, ASAP, in a secure location. The sabotage at the dam is way bigger than I thought.
Rose-Grace: Come to my office in the morning.
Sulu notices lights on in the greenhouse shop and investigates.
Sulu: Mattie?! What are you doing here?!
Mattie: I came home. My place is here with my family.
Sulu: Umm... okay. Can we talk about that hair?
