The value usually goes up when the artists die. Megan refuses to let this scare her off her mission to put on a show to honor Arthur’s work – while he is alive.

Abby finds Evan up and well. He thanks her for the hospitality and if she signed the agreement to dissolve their partnership. She has and hands the documents to him. Evan takes it and rips it up.
