- Thomas mentions part of what the Mayor wants is native cemetery lands and asks if the mayor plans to build over those graves as so many places in Fort Smith have done before.

- After the elders follow him, the rest of the meeting people seem shocked into silence while they wait.
- Jason implores the Mayor to reconsider his stance on building anything on the Mound Site.
- Pitches a quick idea on the fly of:
- Building a museum in town that documents and showcases the Caddo Mound and local culture.
- Reinvesting by running utilities out to those that want it as a tax write-off.
- Considering the profit from full hotels and restaurants, and other businesses that would appreciate the money brought in by the mayor, which would lead not only to profits but votes.
- The mayor agrees to consider that idea and put off his plans to buy for the moment.
- When the meeting disperses, Thomas and the Elders bring Jason into the back room and inform him that he changed the Mayor's mind just in time because they were going to be forced to vote on the matter since it was the 3rd time it had been brought up.
- Jason realizes this is why the Mayor seemed so please with himself when the chaos erupted since a split vote would likely rule in his favor.
- Gabby also found out that there are some that have already settled with the Mayor privately, but once the land is sold in any way, that part of the reservation is gone forever.
