00:00So what's a married woman doing on my doorstep in the middle of the night?
00:04Look, I'm just going to cut to the chase, okay?
00:07Do you have my necklace?
00:08Don't you mean my necklace?
00:10Since I'm the one who gave it to you.
00:11Blaine, please.
00:13Not now, I just, I need, I need that necklace.
00:15For what?
00:17For remembering the guy you left behind all those years ago?
00:21For no reason?
00:23It's not...
00:24You broke my heart, Zoe.
00:26We're in.
00:30What?
00:32Turn around.
00:42Don't lose it again.
00:43How could Zoe tell Blaine the real reason why she had to leave him seven years ago?
00:51How did you even know I was pregnant?
00:53A woman always knows.
00:55She might have to kill you, Zoe.
01:03Blaine!
01:04Blaine!
01:05You're pathetic.
01:06You really think my son would give up his status as a surgeon to be with you?
01:09Mom!
01:12I trusted you.
01:16Don't bother calling for help.
01:18The maids already know where to dump you, darling.
01:24Huh?
01:25Huh?
01:26Huh?
01:27Hey, Blaine!
01:28Hey.
01:29Why don't you pick up?
01:44911, what's your emergency?
01:46That night, I died.
01:54Or at least, a part of me did.
01:57But that was only the beginning of a love story I never thought I'd live to tell.
02:05Because I wasn't the only one who survived.
02:08Thankfully, Max survived.
02:10Hey, Mom.
02:12But shortly after his birth, Max was diagnosed with leukemia.
02:17He'd been in and out of hospitals ever since.
02:23Hey, sweetie.
02:25We brought you both dinner.
02:27Oh, thanks, Mom.
02:29Thanks.
02:30How's Max?
02:31Uh, you know, he's good.
02:32Uh, just sleeping.
02:34Needs to rest.
02:35What's wrong?
02:36He just keeps asking if he's ever gonna have a dad.
02:39Why don't you just tell the real father to show up?
02:42Whoever he is.
02:44But Catherine had threatened her son, Max, if anyone ever found out that he was Blaine's son.
02:49Why don't you take Zoe out with you to one of those bars you're always going to?
02:53Ooh.
02:54Hmm.
02:55Hmm.
02:56No.
02:57I don't need my older sister babysitting me.
02:59Hmm.
03:00Well, thank you.
03:01I know you're just trying to help, but I don't feel comfortable going around dating people when my son is in here.
03:08Of course.
03:09When he's cured, I'll have more time.
03:11Zoe could never forget that face.
03:13It was Blaine Dexter, the father of Max.
03:17And somehow, he was now working in the same hospital where her son was being treated.
03:25Who is that?
03:27Hi.
03:28Excuse me.
03:29Who is that?
03:31Oh, that's the doctor.
03:33Dr. Dexter, our new surgeon.
03:35Great, yeah.
03:36Is he single?
03:37Sifa.
03:40Hey, I really appreciate you two for visiting.
03:42I'm just feeling so tired.
03:45Can we go?
03:46Sure, sure, sure.
03:49Zoe couldn't believe that out of all the hospitals in the city, this is the one Blaine worked at.
03:55She knew she had to protect herself and Max.
03:58It was for Max's own good.
04:00But how long could she avoid Blaine before he finds her out?
04:05Zoe had always said she'd find love when Max was cured.
04:09But she was starting to worry.
04:11What if that day never came?
04:13Hello?
04:15Hello?
04:17Earth to Zoe.
04:19Sorry, I'm so out of it.
04:21Well, you better focus, girly.
04:22I hear there's a big new project coming down the pipeline.
04:25But you didn't hear that from me.
04:27Seriously?
04:28Mm-hmm.
04:29Big hot shot with tons to spend.
04:31I really hope Talon finally gives me a chance.
04:33I really need that commission.
04:37Max's hospital bills.
04:40Talon Tailor Designs.
04:41Corey speaking.
04:44Zoe?
04:45It's for you.
04:46Your sister's in the hospital.
04:47What?
04:50Hello?
04:53Yes, yes, of course.
04:54I'll be right there.
04:57My sister injured herself last night trying to get the attention of some guy.
05:01Shocker.
05:03Cover for me?
05:04Always.
05:05It seems like no matter what, Zoe just can't seem to escape the hospital.
05:09Ziva?
05:10What happened?
05:11Ugh.
05:12Did Linda call you?
05:13Yeah, she said you were throwing yourself at some guy.
05:16Was not.
05:18I was dancing and I tripped.
05:21Besides, now the hot surgeon can save my life.
05:24Are you even injured?
05:26Maybe.
05:27Maybe not.
05:28Let's let the doctor decide that.
05:30Ziva, you can't just waste this doctor's time.
05:32What is wrong with you?
05:33Pod, I knew you were going to be a buzzkill about this.
05:35Okay, you know what?
05:36Get up.
05:37We're going home.
05:38Hi, Ms. Fuller.
05:39Sorry to keep you waiting.
05:40Your brain scans came back.
05:42I'm sorry, I didn't realize you had a guest.
05:44I can come back.
05:45No, no, no, no, no.
05:46Come on in.
05:47I was just going to ask for you.
05:49Perfect.
05:50Look, I don't see any cause for concern on your scans, so I think we can release you.
05:56What?
05:57No.
05:58I mean, I'm telling you, there's...
06:02I'm telling you, there's something wrong.
06:04I don't feel right.
06:05There must be other tests you can do, right?
06:08Um...
06:10Let's take a look.
06:12What about this light with your eyes?
06:19It was him.
06:20The man Zoe had loved all those years ago.
06:23And the same one who happens to be the father of her sick child.
06:29Okay.
06:31Look, Ziva, I can usually tell the difference between a patient who is actually sick and one who isn't.
06:38What do you mean, doctor?
06:41Would your friend here be able to drive you home?
06:43Home?
06:44My head feels awful, doctor.
06:46I think I need to stay for another night or two.
06:49Ziva, I kind of need to focus on the patients who really need me.
06:53Maybe you're just dehydrated, you know, from your wild night.
06:56You know what?
06:57Maybe you're right.
06:59Zoe, can you bring me some water?
07:02Zoe?
07:20Oh, God.
07:21I know.
07:25Okay.
07:26I got you.
07:27It's really not that bad.
07:28It's not?
07:30Oh.
07:32Zoe forgot how magnetic Blaine's touch had always been.
07:35I should do it.
07:36How he could ignite so much inside her simply through his hands.
07:46You can let go of my hand now, Zoe.
07:48Oh, yeah. Sorry.
07:50Sorry.
07:53Um, okay.
07:55Well, Ziva, I think we'll have you transferred to another unit.
07:58Another unit?
07:59No, I don't want another doctor.
08:01I want you.
08:02I need to focus on the patients who actually need me, okay?
08:05And, Ziva, word to the wise, even if I wasn't engaged, your little trick wouldn't have worked.
08:11I don't condone being with a woman who abuses my trust.
08:20Zoe kicked herself for having false hope.
08:23Of course Blaine had moved on.
08:25Why can't you let me have anything for myself?
08:28You're not supposed to be here, Ziva.
08:30What did you deal with him anyways?
08:32Why was he so cold to you?
08:34Zoe didn't know how to tell Ziva about her complicated history with Blaine.
08:38That he was the man that fathered Max.
08:41But now was not the time or place.
08:46I don't know.
08:48Okay, well, if you're just going to suck up my attention, then you can leave.
08:54Bye.
08:55Hey.
08:56Yeah.
08:57Bye.
09:00Hello?
09:01Zoe, hey, it's Talon.
09:02Are you still at the hospital?
09:04Courtney mentioned you had a family emergency.
09:06Is everything alright with Max?
09:08Yeah.
09:09Yeah, actually.
09:10It wasn't Max this time.
09:12It was my sister.
09:14But don't worry, I can be back at the office later.
09:17No, no, no.
09:18It's fine, Zoe.
09:19You work enough as it is.
09:21But I am emailing you right now a proposal for a new client.
09:28Big budget, big everything.
09:30Think you can handle it?
09:32Me?
09:33Seriously?
09:34Seriously.
09:35Seriously.
09:36He wants to meet tonight at 6pm at Waterford International's restaurant.
09:43Yeah, I'll be there.
09:48Finally, some good news.
09:56Things were finally looking up for Zoe at work.
