Lis hasn’t slept. Not because of late-night parties or bad neighbors (though New York offers plenty of both), but because she’s holding a file thick enough to ruin lives… including her own.

In this episode, the city feels sharper. Rent deadlines loom. Strangers know too much about her tea habits. And a single text “You shouldn’t have opened it” pulls her deeper into a game she didn’t know she was playing.

From office politics to political scandals, gala guest lists to fog-covered piers, Lis is juggling secrets, paranoia, and the kind of favors that never come free.

Harlequin Tea makes another appearance… but this time, even its floral calm can’t steady her hands.

And just when she thinks she’s found an ally, another warning lands in her lap: Do. Not. Trust.

Who is watching her?
What’s on the flash drive?
And why does every step forward feel like a step closer to disaster?
