In Company, Natalia asks Decker about the investment opportunity he was discussing with Olivia. He tells her that the minimal investment is a million dollars. She's sorry she mentioned it. He offers to put her money with his and invest it. Natalia wonders why he would do that. "Think of this as an early Christmas bonus... congratulations. You're a brave woman," he says. He gives her a number to call and walks off. She goes back to Cassie's and looks through the real estate flyer before having a fantasy about living in the house with Rafe while he goes to college.

At The Beacon, Natalia and Emma talk about Rafe and throw pillows. Olivia comes in and Natalia explains that she invested with Decker today. As she talks about all of the money she could make, Olivia keeps her lips sealed. Nat admits that she has to do some research into how the stock market works now. "I guess I have you to thank for all of this," she says, smiling. Olivia keeps her mouth shut and then walks out.
