00:00Who is that?
00:02Hi.
00:03Excuse me.
00:04Who is that?
00:06Oh, that's Dr. Dexter, our new surgeon.
00:10Great, yeah.
00:11Is he single?
00:12Sifa.
00:14Hey, I really appreciate you two for visiting.
00:17I'm just feeling so tired.
00:20Can we go?
00:21Sure, sure, sure.
00:24Zoe couldn't believe that out of all the hospitals in the city,
00:27this is the one Blaine worked at.
00:29She knew she had to protect herself and Max.
00:32It was for Max's own good.
00:34But how long could she avoid Blaine before he finds her out?
00:39Zoe had always said she'd find love when Max was cured,
00:43but she was starting to worry.
00:45What if that day never came?
00:47Hello?
00:49Hello?
00:51Earth to Zoe.
00:53Sorry, I'm so out of breath.
00:55Sorry, I'm so out of it.
00:57Well, you better focus, girlie.
00:59I hear there's a big new project coming down the pipeline.
01:02But you didn't hear that from me.
01:04Seriously?
01:05Mm-hmm.
01:06Big hot shot with tons to spend.
01:08I really hope Talon finally gives me a chance.
01:10I really need that commission.
01:14Max's hospital bills.
01:20Talon Tailor Designs.
01:22Courtney speaking.
01:24Zoe, it's for you.
01:26Your sister's in the hospital.
01:28What?
01:30Hello?
01:33Yes, yes, of course.
01:34I'll be right there.
01:37My sister injured herself last night
01:39trying to get the attention of some guy.
01:41Shocker.
01:43Cover for me?
01:44Always.
01:45It seems like no matter what,
01:47Zoe just can't seem to escape the hospital.
01:50Ziva, what happened?
01:52Did Linda call you?
01:54Yeah, she said you were throwing yourself at some guy.
01:57Was not.
01:58I was dancing and I tripped.
02:01Besides, now the hot surgeon can save my life.
02:04Are you even injured?
02:06Maybe.
02:07Maybe not.
02:08Let's let the doctor decide that.
02:10Ziva, you can't just waste this doctor's time.
02:12What is wrong with you?
02:13God, I knew you were going to be a buzzkill about this.
02:15Okay, you know what?
02:16Get up.
02:17We're going home.
02:18Hi, Ms. Fuller.
02:19Sorry to keep you waiting.
02:21I just came back.
02:22I'm sorry.
02:23I didn't realize you had a guest.
02:24I can come back.
02:25No, no, no, no, no.
02:26Come on in.
02:27I was just going to ask for you.
02:29Perfect.
02:30Look, I don't see any cause for concern on your scan,
02:33so I think we can release you.
02:35What?
02:36No.
02:37I mean, I'm telling you there's something wrong.
02:41I don't feel right.
02:43There must be other tests you can do, right?
02:47Let's take a look.
02:50What was that?
02:51Was that what your eyes?
02:56It was him.
02:58The man Zoe had loved all those years ago
03:01and the same one who happens to be the father of her sick child.
03:07Okay.
03:09Look, Ziva, I can usually tell the difference
03:12between a patient who is actually sick and one who isn't.
03:16What do you mean, doctor?
03:19Would your friend here be able to drive you home?
03:21Home?
03:22My head feels awful, doctor.
03:24I think I need to stay for another night or two.
03:27Ziva, I kind of need to focus on the patients who really need me.
03:30Maybe you're just dehydrated, you know, from your wild night.
03:34You know what?
03:35Maybe you're right.
03:37Zoe, can you bring me some water?
03:40Zoe?
03:49Okay.
03:58Oh, God.
03:59No.
04:02Okay.
04:03I got you.
04:04It's really not that bad.
04:06No, no.
04:08Oh.
04:10Zoe forgot how magnetic Blaine's touch had always been.
04:13I should do it.
04:14He felt so much inside her simply through his hands.
04:23You can let go of my hand now, Zoe.
04:26Oh, yeah.
04:27Sorry.
04:30Um, okay.
04:32Well, Ziva, I think we'll have you transferred to another unit.
04:35Another unit?
04:36No, I don't want another doctor.
04:38I want you.
04:39I need to focus on the patients who actually need me, okay?
04:42Ziva, word to the wise, even if I wasn't engaged, your little trick wouldn't have worked.
04:48I don't condone being with a woman who abuses my trust.
04:57Zoe kicked herself for having false hope.
05:00Of course Blaine had moved on.
05:02Why can't you let me have anything for myself?
05:05You're not supposed to be here, Ziva.
05:07What is your deal with him anyways?
05:09Why was he so cold to you?
05:11He didn't know how to tell Ziva about her complicated history with Blaine.
05:15That he was the man that fathered Max.
05:18But now was not the time or place.
05:23I don't know.
05:25Okay, well, if you're just gonna suck up my attention, then you can leave.
05:31Bye.
05:32Hey.
05:33Yeah.
05:34Bye.
05:37Hello?
05:38Zoe, hey, it's Talon.
05:40Are you still at the hospital?
05:42Courtney mentioned you had a family emergency.
05:44Is everything alright with Max?
05:46Yeah.
05:47Yeah, actually, it wasn't Max this time.
05:50It was my sister.
05:52But don't worry, I can be back at the office later.
05:55No, no, no, no.
05:56It's fine, Zoe.
05:57You work enough as it is.
05:59But I am emailing you right now a proposal for a new client.
06:06Big budget, big everything.
06:08Think you can handle it?
06:10Me?
06:11Seriously?
06:12Seriously.
06:13Seriously.
06:14He wants to meet tonight at 6pm at Waterford International's restaurant.
06:20Yeah, I'll be there.
06:25Finally, some good news.
06:33Things were finally looking up for Zoe at work.
06:39But she had no idea this dinner would be a brush with fate.
06:45Reservation under the name Fuller?
06:47No, no, no, no, no, no.
06:49You've got to be kidding me.
06:51No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
06:54Please don't see me.
06:55Please don't see me.
06:56Please don't see me.
07:03Talon Interiors, this is Zoe speaking.
07:05Are you joining me for dinner or not?
07:18You are my new client.
07:23And you are my new interior designer.
07:26I can call my boss and have him put somebody else on the project given our history.
07:32That might be best.
07:34Don't be silly.
07:36We can be adults, right?
07:39Besides, I know how talented you are.
07:46Okay, well then, let's just dive right in, huh?
07:50Thought it might be a good idea to start getting your input with what you envision for your home.
07:55Tone in on the mood.
07:56Going for your space?
08:01Let's eat first.
08:05Hm?
08:06Whatever you say.
08:09Boss?
08:11Were you always this testy?
08:15Always.
08:17Neither could deny it.
08:18The chemistry between them was electric.
08:21I thought that the wood made a nice contrast with the lighter colors.
08:26I really like the wood textures here.
08:28Yeah, I do.
08:29You're definitely onto something.
08:30I thought the textures were really interesting.
08:31Yeah.
08:35Oh.
08:42I'm sorry if I'm overloading you.
08:45We definitely don't have to figure out everything tonight.
08:47I just...
08:48No, it's not that.
08:51What is it?
08:54Why didn't you ever call, Zoe?
08:58Excuse me?
09:00Why did you leave?
09:02So suddenly, I mean, I had no idea where you went.
09:05How could she tell him the truth?
09:07What his own mother had done to her?
09:12I...
09:13She had to protect herself and Max.
09:16She couldn't get wrapped up in the Dexters again.
09:23I'm so sorry.
09:26Hello.
09:28Yes, of course.
09:29Have her prepped for surgery.
09:30I'll be right there.
09:32Is everything okay?
09:34It will be.
09:37I guess we'll have to continue this conversation further at another time.
09:48As Zoe watched Blaine leave,
09:50she wished she could have explained everything to him in that moment.
09:54But she couldn't put Max at risk.
09:58Oh, I'm sorry.
10:02I'm sorry.
10:03I was just playing and my ball got away.
10:06Are you a doctor?
10:07I am.
10:09You look strong.
10:10Like a superhero.
10:12What's your name, kid?
10:13I'm Max.
10:14What's your name?
10:16I'm Dr. Blaine Dexter.
10:17You can call me Dr. Blaine.
10:20Oh, you're the brain surgeon with the penthouse downtown.
10:23And your family's loaded.
10:25You live in Moorpark, don't you?
10:27Are you a detective?
10:29Oh, the nurses want to marry you.
10:32Are you single?
10:33Actually, I have a fiancée.
10:38What's wrong with having a fiancée?
10:40It's just, if you were single, I would have introduced you to my mom.
10:44My grandma always says she needs a good man to take care of her.
10:48And you look like a good man.
10:50Are you her matchmaker?
10:52She used to be married.
10:54She used to be married, but now they don't live together anymore.
10:58I'm sorry to hear that.
10:59So if I fall asleep one day and never wake up again, she'd be all alone.
11:04Well, then let's just hope that doesn't happen.
11:06Okay?
11:08Who is your mom, anyways?
11:09Max?
11:10Max, I've been looking for you everywhere.
11:12Let's get you to your room, okay?
11:14Let's go.
11:16What's wrong with the little guy?
11:18Leukemia.
11:19Leukemia.
11:20His whole family's been tested, but we haven't found a match for a bone marrow transplant yet.
11:25Bye, Dr. Blaine.
11:27Blaine felt his heart ache at Ramona's answer.
11:30He knew how difficult it was to find that kind of donor.
11:35Max!
11:37There you are. Where'd you go?
11:39You have to stay in your room, you little troublemaker.
11:42Well, he struck up a friendship with the hot surgeon, Dr. Dexter.
11:50Hey, Max, sweetie, go in. I'll be right there.
11:56Ramona, Dr. Dexter cannot know who Max is.
12:00He can't know his last name. He can't know that he's related to me, okay? Do you understand?
12:04Zoe, what's going on?
12:05Please, just promise me.
12:09I promise you.
12:11Okay.
12:15Zoe couldn't tell her that Blaine's mother attempted to take her life and Max's four years ago.
12:22But she had to keep Max safe.
12:24And keeping the truth from Blaine was the only way.
12:28But would she be able to keep them apart forever?
12:31Only time would tell.
12:44Hi.
12:46No need to sit. Just wanted to check up on where you're at with Blaine Dexter.
12:50Okay.
12:52Dinner was great. He had to leave early on a hospital call, though, so now we're currently...
12:58Moving forward. As they should be. Right, Zoe?
13:03We cannot mess this deal up. Understood?
13:07Yes. I am on it, boss.
13:11That's what I like to hear.
13:14Mhm.
13:31Hello?
13:33Hi, it's me. Zoe. Zoe Fuller.
13:37This was impossible. How could Zoe be expected to work for him, given their history?
13:44Given... everything.
13:51Look, I know you may not want to work with me, but you're a very important client to us and I would like to see this deal through.
13:57So I would appreciate if you could...
13:59Why don't we meet at my place? Tonight. At, say, six.
14:04At your place?
14:06Well, yeah. You need to see my furniture, don't you?
14:09Right. Of course.
14:11Is that okay with you?
14:14Mhm.
14:15The spare key's under the mat, in case I'm not there yet. It's my fiancee's, but you can use it. I'll send you the address.
14:21Great. I will see you...
14:27Tonight.
14:28Zoe had almost forgotten Blaine was engaged. She knew she had to be strong. She had to move past her fears.
14:36You got this.
14:37But she had no idea that her darkest fears just might come true.
14:42Dr. Blaine Dexter, please. It's his mother. I need to speak to him immediately.
14:49Of course. This is his house.
14:53Suddenly, Zoe was dizzy. What was she doing?
14:57How could she meet with Blaine alone, after what Blaine's mother had done to her?
