She later gets fired from Ralston's after a gossip columnist prints an article that she is about to set up her own company. Ray is now a very successful entrepreneur and he now also seeks out Steven to pay him back for a photograph of his wife that Steven asked him to sell years earlier. Stephen tells him he doesn't want his money but his picture back. He also makes contact with Laura telling her he knew her late husband in Kuwait and he wants to give her a dividend payment for money David invested with him.

Consummate episode

This episode probably best exemplifies the plot of the show. In this episode one guy comes in and interacts with most of the show's cast. The character Ray comes to town and tries to get Whitney with whom he made a pact with to fulfill it. And he goes to see Laura about her husband claiming he knew her when he was in Iraq. He then plays cards with Damian who later asks him for a job. And he tries to make amends with Stephen; it seems Stephen asked him to sell a photo for him but instead ran off with the money. And now Stephen wants his photo back. And when Stephen assaults Ray, he asks Whitney to bail him out. And it is then that they find out that they both know Ray. And Ray then asks Damian to try and locate the photo which he does. While he didn't interact with Mae she was there when the package he sent to Laura was delivered. I don't believe Carlos even made an appearance in this episode.
