It is March 27. Sloane is unhappy to be at Bankole’s funeral, where she is expected to put her emotions on display. Ardie and Sloane joke around, while Grace cries with seeming grief. Sloane thinks that Grace has been extra sensitive of late. Elizabeth Moretti finds Sloane and points out a man who is on the BAD Men List. Elizabeth guesses that Sloane has a name to add to the list and recommends that she do so—she might save someone else. Sloane asks herself why she has not added Ames’s name yet. Sloane sees Katherine and Ames talking and thinks that Katherine is like her daughter: pretty but shy, which gets interpreted as aloof.

Sloane follows Ames into the men’s room and tells him that she heard about the CEO shortlist from Bobbi. She asks him what he’s doing with Katherine. Ames claims nothing is happening and tells Sloane to get over their affair. Sloane thinks of how much their affair still affects her career, despite how long ago it was. She tells him that Bobbi asked her to give him advice and that her advice is to stop having affairs. In return, Ames advises Sloane that if he becomes CEO, there will be a spot open on General Counsel that she could potentially fill.
