Astra left work at 5:30 p.m. and witnessed Silas venting his frustration at Sophia and Violet on Archana. She couldn't help but smile when, after Silas scolded Violet for portraying herself as a victim the day before, Violet's tears started to flow as they always did.
Violet expressed her desire for Silas to be as proud of her as he was of Astra, carefully avoiding implicating Sophia. Astra couldn't help but chuckle when Silas warned them that he'd end their relationship if they didn't treat Astra better from now on. With that, she closed Archana.
The only reason they treated her the way they did was because Silas set the example. She returned to the hotel and left for dinner an hour later.

"Hey," Elias greeted.
