Sean's happy to hear she might be able to get the code name and account number from Alan, but not when it could involve her sleeping with Alan.  Neither want to go that route, and Monica provides a means when she selects Tiffany to serve as temporary president of HTI. Going through some papers, Sean and Tiffany discover Herbert Quartermaine's name on some proxies held by Von Schuler, who had been the first embezzler.  They deduce that Herbert was behind the actual embezzlement.  Sean's further intrigued when Herbert, who's secretly been studying a file on Donely, rings him up and suggest the two conspire against Edward.
