The people who had acted in the mini-series meant to explain away the leaked surveillance footage of Mina were called to gather at a private dining room to celebrate the end of filming. Mina had hoped for Olivia to come, but Peter sent word that his 'fiancé' was not up for meeting new people, so he also would not be participating, and according to Mills, Emma had 'better' plans. Brayden's manager had also indicated that he would not be coming to the wrap dinner, so it left Mina and a small group to celebrate.
Light chatter could be heard throughout the room, as many of the women were small actresses who struggled just as Mina had. They had been exchanging hardship stories with Director Porter, who had similar experiences, until the very person who Mina had been specifically told would not be around, and did not want to see, walked in.
