00:00Long night, Dr. Dexter.
00:02You were incredible in surgery.
00:04Thanks for welcoming me.
00:06I'm headed home. Gotta get some sleep.
00:08Page me if anything comes in.
00:10Okay?
00:16Oh!
00:18Oh!
00:20Sorry.
00:22Good thing your coffee was cold.
00:24You in a hurry to see your husband, Zoe?
00:34Even though Zoe hated lying to Blaine,
00:36she couldn't risk him knowing
00:38that she was there for Max.
00:40He couldn't know about him.
00:42Why else would I be here?
00:44Good.
00:46Go on.
00:50Sophia!
00:52What's this? Is it...
00:54Zoe's heart skipped a beat the moment
00:56she saw the heart of the sea around Sophia's neck.
00:58Oh, the heart of the sea?
01:00Must be fate.
01:02Blaine gave it to me.
01:04Blaine gave it to you?
01:06Yep. He found it at a small pawn shop.
01:08I think it's called Moretti's or something like that.
01:10Blaine gave it to me as a wedding present.
01:12Isn't it amazing?
01:14Yes.
01:16It is.
01:18Zoe got up hastily, packing her belongings
01:20and dressed.
01:22Zoe, what's wrong?
01:24Was it something I said?
01:26Um, no. I've got to run.
01:28Take a look at these blueprints for me, okay?
01:30If you see anything that needs tweaking,
01:32just shoot me a text.
01:34Really sorry about this.
01:36Zoe rushed out, heading straight to Moretti's pawn shop.
01:38You sneaky cheat! Where is my necklace?
01:40It hasn't even been a month.
01:42Why are you here? I mean...
01:44Show me the heart of the sea.
01:46I'm sorry about this, Miss Fuller.
01:48I don't want money.
01:50I want my necklace.
01:52Who did you sell it to?
01:54That necklace was bought by a rich man.
01:56A doctor, I think.
01:58Your necklace is gone.
02:00Zoe couldn't believe what she had heard.
02:02Moretti handed the compensation check to her.
02:04I was a fool for trusting you,
02:06you greedy pig.
02:08She grabbed the check and stormed out,
02:10slamming the door behind her.
02:12The moment she got out,
02:14she called Blaine in frustration.
02:16Who is it?
02:18Blaine, how could you be so cruel?
02:20Zoe, are you nuts?
02:22I was sleeping.
02:24Why do you have to disturb me all the time?
02:26He threw the phone, dismissing her angrily.
02:28Zoe took a cab straight to Blaine's penthouse.
02:30She furiously entered,
02:32storming through the bedroom door without knocking.
02:34Blaine!
02:36Blaine was still in bed, under the blanket.
02:38Zoe stood near him, visibly furious.
02:40I know you're awake. Stop pretending.
02:42Blaine stirred, turned over,
02:44and revealed his irritated, sleepy face.
02:46Why are you making trouble so early in the morning?
02:48Let me sleep.
02:50It's already noon,
02:52and how could you give the heart of the sea to Sophia?
02:54I don't know what you're talking about.
02:56He stood up, revealing his bare upper body.
02:58Zoe felt embarrassed and turned away.
03:00You...
03:02What are you doing?
03:04Getting dressed.
03:06I had an appointment with your girlfriend to look at the blueprints this morning.
03:08My fiancée.
03:10Whatever. I saw her wearing that necklace.
03:12So what?
03:14Couldn't you give her some other wedding present?
03:16Have you ever thought about how your fiancée will feel
03:18if she finds out her wedding present was a regift?
03:20Who told you that necklace was from me?
03:22She said so herself.
03:24Zoe, are you joking?
03:26Why don't you first explain to me
03:28why you sold the necklace in the first place?
03:30I didn't sell it. I just...
03:32Oh, I remember.
03:34I met a poor pawn shop owner and helped him earn millions.
03:36Now don't stand here like I will give you a Nobel Prize for this.
03:38Just leave.
03:40Zoe, upset, stood nervously in front of Blaine.
03:42She pulled out the check from her purse.
03:44Blaine, here's $100,000.
03:46Can I trouble you to buy that necklace back?
03:48Where did you get that money from?
03:50Mr. Moretti gave it to me as compensation.
03:52I know it's not the full amount,
03:54but please sell the necklace back to me.
03:56Didn't you say you were short on money?
03:58If you have this huge amount,
04:00why not just take the money and run?
04:02Zoe sat beside him,
04:04placing the check on the coffee table.
04:06This is different. I needed money,
04:08but I never intended to get it this way.
04:10I was always planning to go back and get it.
04:12Want it back so that you can sell it
04:14for an even higher price?
04:16Blaine, do you really think I'm the kind of person
04:18who would do anything to get rich?
04:20Is my opinion of you really important?
04:22I'll leave you to decide.
04:24Suddenly, Blaine grabbed her chin,
04:26forcing her to look at him.
04:28Before she could react, Blaine kissed her.
04:30After a passionate kiss,
04:32Blaine suddenly moved away,
04:34leaving Zoe breathless.
04:36Blaine, please, we can't...
04:38Blaine grabbed her chin,
04:40kissing her again.
04:42Zoe's hands gripped the sofa cushion
04:44as they shared a moment of undeniable desire.
04:46Zoe, do you really think
04:48I would give my ex-girlfriend's necklace
04:50to my future wife?
04:52I've already purchased her a wedding present.
04:54I don't know how she got the necklace.
04:56Why didn't you deny it then?
04:58Did I ever actually say the necklace was for me?
05:00No,
05:02but you also didn't deny it.
05:04Take the money.
05:06No, I can't.
05:08I just want my necklace back.
05:10I have no reason to help you get it back.
05:12Zoe, feeling the weight of her emotions,
05:14decided to leave.
05:16She grabbed her purse and walked towards the elevator.
05:18Blaine stopped her and handed her the check.
05:20Take this, and quit your job at Enclave Bar.
05:22Zoe kept her head low,
05:24entered the elevator, and left.
05:26The next morning, Blaine finished
05:28checking Mr. Wilson's vitals
05:30as the grateful man sat up.
05:32I'm feeling better, Dr. Dexter.
05:34Thank you so much again.
05:36No need to thank me, Mr. Wilson.
05:38I was just doing my job.
05:40Oh, I meant to ask you,
05:42who was the woman that helped you that night?
05:44She didn't look like a nurse to me.
05:46Oh, she's just a friend of mine.
05:48Just a friend or
05:50a girlfriend?
05:52She's not my girlfriend.
05:54Then go for her, man.
05:56A match made in heaven, if you ask me.
05:58Mr. Wilson grabbed a bag of fruit and handed it to Blaine.
06:00This fruit isn't for you to eat alone.
06:02Share it with that beautiful lady.
06:04Score some points.
06:06Blaine took the bag, and Wilson left.
06:08Later that evening, Blaine took
06:10Sophia to an elegant French bistro.
06:12Blaine,
06:14this place is amazing.
06:16You always know what I like.
06:18Blaine smiled faintly.
06:20His eyes were fixed on the necklace around Sophia's neck.
06:22Sophia, what's up with that necklace?
06:24How does it look?
06:26Found it in a little shop this week.
06:28It doesn't suit you.
06:30Sophia's smile vanished
06:32as Blaine pulled out a check.
06:34It's very rude of you to say that, Blaine.
06:36Sell me the necklace.
06:38One million dollars.
06:40What are you buying it for?
06:42It doesn't belong to you.
06:44It's about my past.
06:46Is this really about your past?
06:48Yes. Let's not go there, Sophia.
06:50Why do you care so much about an ex-girlfriend's gift?
06:52I wish to resolve my past.
06:54Take it off, Sophia.
06:56I'm your fiancé.
06:58Doesn't make it right. Now take it off.
07:00Sophia, tearful, removed the necklace
07:02and rushed out of the cafe.
07:04Filled with retaliation,
07:06she wiped her tears and made a call.
07:08I'm sending you an address.
07:10Sophia, driven by anger,
07:12plans to take her revenge.
07:14Who did she call?
07:16Will Blaine's decisions about the Heart of the Sea necklace
07:18come back to haunt him?
07:20How will Blaine's relationship with Sophia change
07:22after the confrontation?
