Episode 3 · Nina Kingston, Hayden, Vanessa Harris
James and Vivian visit Nina's hotel room, begging her to return to the Kingston family. Nina refuses and tells them to leave Jessie alone. In the hallway, a brother in a black shirt mocks Nina and tries to grab her. Nina punches him in the chest. In his car, the injured brother calls to hire the operative J.K. against Nina. Nina sits at her desk, operating as J.K. herself.
James and Vivian enter Nina's room to plead with her to come back to the Kingston family. Nina turns them down flatly. She states she already has her own home, life, and daughter, then orders them to leave Jessie alone.
Nina steps into the corridor with Jessie. A young man in a black shirt smirks and taunts her, claiming the family will always prefer Jocelyn. When he reaches out toward her, Nina strikes him in the chest and walks away.
Sitting in his car, the bruised brother calls an intermediary to hire the elite agent J.K. to target Nina. He receives a humiliating demand to livestream in a ballet skirt for three days, which he reluctantly agrees to do.
Back at her desk, Nina types on a laptop under the operative codename J.K. She shuts the device, declaring that seeking J.K.'s help costs a person their pride first. Moments later, her phone buzzes with an incoming notification.
“I have a place, a daughter, and a life of my own.”
“That punch is for blocking my way and humiliating me.”
“I need J.K. I want help dealing with someone.”
“If you want J.K.'s help, pay with your pride first.”
Nina finishes setting her humiliating condition on her laptop to accept the contract against herself. Her phone lights up with a confirmation as the brother agrees to livestream in a ballet skirt. Will the Kingston brother actually go through with the humiliating public broadcast to secure J.K.'s services against Nina?
