Victoria comes to Nate’s office after business hours with a bottle of 25-year old single malt, the “good stuff,” as she refers to it. She tells him that she got it for her birthday, but tonight is a special occasion because she wants to have an “outside-of-the-box” strategy. Nate is down for it. When she mentions that she wants to snatch up Daniel’s Omegasphere gaming platform as well as McCall Unlimited, Nate is all in. His take on the matter is that this is exactly the type of move that Devon would have rejected because it he would consider it too risky.
Nate also lets Victoria that Audra is his secret weapon for intel on McCall Unlimited because Audra is still in touch with Tucker. Victoria is a bit leery of Audra, but Nate assures her that Audra is loyal to them now.
As Nate and Victoria continue to drink, he opens up to her about how he feels that he has to present a different image to most people, but is fine around her. After the two of them comment about being aware of what it takes to make things happen, Victoria leans in and kisses Nate squarely on the lips. Nate responds in kind before she pulls away and hastily concludes the meeting. After wishing each other a good night, Nate exhales deeply and has a pensive look, while Victoria looks a bit rattled outside his office door.
