Episode 4 of Loot Season 1 opens with a news bulletin announcing the tragic collapse of an amusement park in the Philippines, unbeknownst to its owner, Molly. It's a startling revelation, especially considering the park's vast holdings under her belt. Unbeknownst to her until now, Molly has inherited half of John's companies through their divorce, a fortune she's only beginning to unwrap.
Arthur steps in to assist her in navigating her newfound wealth, but he finds himself in need of further clarification on certain assets, particularly an art gallery. Together, they embark on a visit to the gallery, where Arthur's gaze is instantly drawn to a captivating painting of a bird. Little does he know that, while his attention is diverted in another room, Molly has made a surprise purchase, acquiring the painting for herself.
Meanwhile, Howard stumbles upon a surprising revelation about Nicholas - he's an actor. Enthused, Howard urges him to audition for a play, but Nicholas remains resolute, insisting that acting is a chapter from his past. Nevertheless, the pair embark on a playful rehearsal of the script, and Nicholas's resolve begins to waver. Eventually, he decides to give the audition a chance, but his confidence falters at the last moment, and he flees. A timely encouraging text from Howard brings him back, and he gathers his courage to give it another shot.
Later, Molly and Arthur find themselves at Molly's alpaca farm, a serene setting where they exchange stories of their post-divorce lives, finding solace in each other's experiences. Suddenly, Arthur receives a message from his ex-wife, asking him to accompany their daughter to her soccer game. Despite being four hours away, Molly offers the use of her helicopter to ensure they arrive on time. Arthur gratefully accepts, and Molly joins them for the game, her presence a welcome surprise.
Elsewhere, Sofia nervously presents a motion to the city council, fretting over how they might react to Molly's recent negative publicity. To her relief, she discovers that the council members have a soft spot for Molly and are sympathetic to her situation. Upon Molly's return, Sofia informs her that the council has decided to put Sofia's motion to a vote, largely due to their fondness for Molly. People are rooting for her in the wake of John's betrayal, and Sofia confesses that she too is on Molly's side.
However, Sofia cautions Molly to remain vigilant as a public figure, warning that people are quick to criticize and tear down. That same day, a gossip magazine publishes photos of Molly and Arthur together, speculating that Molly has moved on with a "mystery man." Molly apologizes to Arthur for dragging him into the public eye and begins to distance herself from him, her behavior cooler than usual as she strives to maintain a healthy boundary.
Later, Arthur returns home to find a mysterious package awaiting him on his doorstep. Inside is the bird painting he admired so much, a gift from Molly. The gesture touches him deeply, a silent reminder of their shared moments and the budding friendship that lies ahead.
