Carmella left a message for him on his voicemail, which was when Oliver first appears. Oliver explains everything about Will to Carmella, and that Will has decided to leave and has fled overseas. In June, Oliver had resigned from Lassiter's and Will had inherited his 49%. In October, Will contacted Elle through his lawyer, Tim Collins (Ben Anderson). Tim told Elle that she could work for the Barnes Corporation and she and Will could be business partners, Lassiter's stockholders (at that point Will had 51% and Elle had 49%) – on one condition. If Elle wanted all this, she had to sack either Paul or Oliver. In the end she resigned, realising that Paul and Oliver were the perfect team for Lassiter's.
