While criticizing Joel (Garrett Hedlund) for not telling her about his girlfriend, Laura (Maya Kazan), Olivia (Sharon Stone) finds herself emotionally drawn to Eric (Frederick Weller), who suggests they meet with Michael (James Ransone) and Tom (Michael Cerveris) about financing an expansion of Mosaic to other cities. Eric's secretive employer chafes over Eric's slow progress in getting Olivia to sell her property, and is floored when Eric announces he's quitting the scam and will come clean to Olivia. That decision triggers a chain of events that ends with Olivia vanishing on New Year's Day -- and Eric targeted as the prime suspect in her disappearance.
