Cierra, Chelsea, Mitchell, Karen, Michelle, and Mitchell Jr. are all seated at the table in the DuPoint Realty conference room. Mitchell exceedingly aggravated, as he doesn't want to be there... Everyone else is calm and collected awaiting Craig. After a few more seconds of silence, he suddenly enters the room.

"Good afternoon, everyone! My apologies for my lateness... My assistant accidentally overbooked for some reason." Craig goes, as he takes a seat. Cierra and Chelsea share a grin with him. "It's fine... I was just worried you weren't going to make it!" Karen replies. The two share a chuckle.

"So, what brings the lovely Carter family here today?" Craig asks them. "Well—" Goes Karen, before being cut off by Mitchell. "She wants a another house..." Mitchell says dreadfully. "And, we're just here to be her support team!" Michelle says, before chuckling. "Yeah, I mean even though I don't agree with them building another house... Anything for mom, am I right?" Mitchell Jr. adds. "Exactly, son." Mitchell replies.

"Mitchell and Mitchell Jr.! Stop it. Now!" Karen demands. Both men simmer down. "But, practically what he said Craig... Mitchell and I are looking to build a whole new Carter Estate. The only problem is, we need more land..." Karen says. Cierra immediately begins jotting down everything Karen says. "Well, Karen, I'm sure your new estate would be beautiful... But, last time I checked, there isn't any lane currently in the market in town or surrounding areas. At least not enough to build a lavish estate on." Craig tells them.

Mitchell secretly becomes happy, but pretends to be upset for Karen. And, Mitchell Jr. and Michelle instantly know what's about to happen, as they both get uncomfortable... "Oh shit!" Michelle whispers in Mitchell Jr's. ear. "I hope we don't have to call the police on this bitch..." Chelsea whispers into Cierra's ear. "Me too!" Cierra whispers back. "I'm sorry, Craig..." Karen takes a heated laugh. "Are you telling me, a respected businesswoman and high-end lawyer's wife, that you cannot sell me any land?!" Karen continues to ask.

"Yes, Karen. Yes I am!" Craig responds to Karen's fit sarcastically. "If this helps, Mrs. Carter, I can go through a files and do a quick search to see if something comes up..." Chelsea makes a suggestion. "Please!" Karen quickly responds. "I'm gonna try to remain civil here... So, Mr. DuPoint, would you please see if something can come up? Because I need my new home!" Karen continues.

Chelsea reenters the room, holding a file. "I'm sorry, Mrs's Carter. Nothing came up." Chelsea says to Karen. "I can't believe this..." Karen says to her family. "I told you." Craig tells Karen. "Uh, pathetic!" Karen responds. "You know what, forget it! Let's go." Karen gathers her things and storms off. "My apologies for her behavior, Craig and ladies. She's just hellbent on getting this new home!" Mitchell tells them, attempting to make light of the situation.

"It's fine. The apology is ours." Craig responds, as he shakes Mitchell's hand over the table. "Yeah." Chelsea chimes in. "And, we will surely have someone contact you all as soon as we get an opening!" Cierra adds. "Alright, thank you." Craig says, before exiting the room. Michelle follows right behind him, as well as Craig and Chelsea. Cierra and Mitchell Jr. purposely stay behind, as they close the door behind everyone.
