Abby shreds the contents of Paula's Lotus Point file. Ted accuses Abby of directing "Nagata" to give Paige his name. She then uses sex (in an elevator) to show him that she is still loyal to him. Greg is not interested when Paige tells him that "Nagata" is an actor. Ginny buys Val a computer to help her with her writing, and says a computer tech named Danny comes along with the purchase should any issues arise. Paige can no longer locate "Nagata" because Abby has paid him to leave the country. However, he shows up later and extorts Abby for even more money. Michael and Ellen are accused of plagiarism and placed on academic probation once Sumner Group's computer security program is revealed. Sumner tells them Johnny sold him the program. He tells Michael and Ellen to prove he stole it. Abby tries to get Paige to go work for Sumner Group in New York, but she declines the opportunity. Karen asks Abby for Murakame's number so she can contact the company directly. Mack accuses Paula of coming after him. Paula recommends Michael sue Sumner. Val enjoys meeting Danny. Abby asks Ted to deliver money to "Nagata." Ted learns Abby would be guilty of fraud and embezzlement if her former partners learned she is Murakame. Paige sees Ted and "Nagata" driving away together. Later, she learns that "Nagata" was killed in a car accident.
