 Max is into movie funding, despite Lee s disinterest in the script and awareness of presales and star power [is there more than a hint of what Maclear went through in getting Dealers made?]. Petra, a former colleague of Sylvia s, goes headhunting Declan, Michelle, Sirrka, and Chas, till it becomes obvious they are scheming to remove those hired by Sylvia s predecessor, Sylvia s her least favourite employees and the Dealing Room s principal performers. Sylvia gets carpeted for this abuse of position and neglect of corporate loyalty. Declan and Michelle attempt a trial reunion.
