As Peter has Sybil put the McGinnis and Shea cases on his calendar, Ollie calls her to meet for lunch. Then Phillips calls for Peter. Peter meets with Virginia to break their lunch date and tells her of his plans for the house in Oakhaven Estates. She asks if Phillips will pay for it. He tells her to see the architect and tell him what she wants. Sybil meets Ollie and he lets on that his boss has got Peter Dalton on a string. Phillips tells Peter that his investment account has not reached its goal yet. Peter is a little disappointed. Phillips says that he is in danger of losing not only money but everything. "That assistant that you kept on your staff against my advise, Mike Karr, is after your scalp!". Phillips explains about Toni going to the crime committee Peter is dumbfounded. He details how Karr advised that Toni got paid for her information and put private eyes to watch her all behind Peter's back in order to get him. Peter says that he will fire him but Phillips says that he can't discharge him with out a reason and they don't want the real reason known. He tells Peter to put Karr on the Shea case. If he gets a conviction, he will be crucified in the press for persecuting the woman. If he doesn't get the full punishment, he will be seen as soft and ineffectual. Phillips runs into Virginia at the club. She asks what are his plans for her husband. Phillips suggests governorship. When asked if he is trying to buy Peter, Phillips explains that he has a lot of power in business and wants to expand it to the political world too. Peter dictates a memo to Mike ordering him to take the Shea case immediately. He thinks over what Phillips told him about Mike working against him. He says to himself "I'll find some other way to --- dispose of him. I'll get him before he gets me!"
