Tandy apologizes for ridiculing Melissa about it in the past, and Melissa says that it's about restoring Nathan's reputation as much as the money. Tandy explains that she felt safe when she was with Nathan, and Melissa says that Nathan was the hardest-working person she ever met. She doesn't know why the rig exploded but figures Nathan was a scapegoat for Roxxon. Tandy asks how they can fight back, and Melissa says that they can ask Greg for help.

She figures that it was a metaphor for his feeling that he doesn't deserve anything good, and that he's atoning for something.
