Lola gets a call from someone, she looks upset and almost throws her cell phone at Mark who comes in the door; she reminds him that he is not supposed to be up there, especially smelling loudly of beer. He tells her that he got the job, heading up the special trials unit; she tells him that he earned it.
Lisa tells everyone that they have to get out of the building. Outside, Mark and Lola hear the protestors on the streets for Black Lives Matter.
