COLD OPEN – FEDERAL STRATEGY ROOM – D.C. – NIGHT

A war room full of federal agents stare at a glowing hologram: Antoinette’s empire is the target. Screens display RC Coin, RealityDundidItAgain, The Eclipse Files.

LEAD AGENT:
“She’s influencing global minds. Spiritual. Financial. Political. If she unites them—she becomes unstoppable.”

A map shows blinking lavender signals spreading through major cities.

AGENT #2:
“Execute Operation Halo Collapse. Bring in her past. Break her heart again. That’s her only weakness.”

SCENE – EXES RETURN – MIAMI NIGHTCLUB SETUP

CODY and HUWART, smug and suited, walk into a flashy club. They think they’re running a sting operation with help from the feds.

CODY (laughing):
“This time, we box her in. No love, no tech, no trap door.”

HUWART (grinning):
“She gonna beg for a plea deal.”

What they don’t know: the entire club is a lavender surveillance hive. Every drink is tagged. Every camera is hers.

In the club, Antoinette walks up to Cody and Huwart, tied and gagged in the VIP booth.

ANTOINETTE:
“You played in my heart, then played in my name. So now I play in yours.”

She whispers something to both—and they freeze. It’s a secret they never told anyone.

ANTOINETTE (walking away):
“Don’t worry… I won’t destroy you. You’ll do that to yourselves just fine.”

FINAL SCENE – ANT ON ROOFTOP – NIGHT

She stands over the city, wind blowing, watching the world shift.

ANTOINETTE (V.O.):
“They tried to use my heart as my weakness. But what they forgot… is I’ve turned every break into blueprint.”
