After failing to convince David to run for governor, Maggie turns to Veronica, hoping to garner her support. Veronica nearly slams the door in her face, but Maggie gets her attention when she shows her the photos she has of Veronica and Benny in compromising positions. Maggie admits to having her followed, but she maintains that she hasn't told David yet. She wants Veronica to persuade David to run for office at the top of ticket, but Veronica is suspicious of Maggie's motives and threatens her life.
"There's more to it than that. You want to be first lady, don't you?" she sneers.
Veronica believes that Maggie and her husband have been having an affair, and she blames her for their estrangement. Maggie admits to being powerfully attracted to David, but she also assures Veronica that he only has feelings for his wife. A visibly shaken Veronica orders Maggie to leave. Maggie says she will, but first she wants Veronica to know something: She didn't sleep with David.
"He stopped. He said that no matter how angry he was with you, that he couldn't because he loved you so much," Maggie says.
Before making her exit, Maggie fires a parting shot, warning Veronica that she will get her chance with David if Veronica continues to be so vindictive and keeps pushing him away. After Maggie leaves, Veronica collapses to the floor in tears.
