rekindled heartache

Short filmTranscript
00:00Today my ex-fiancé met my sick child, but he had no idea he was meeting his own son.
00:07The death of a patient weighed heavily on Dr. Blaine.
00:11He sat on a bench at St. Mary's Hospital seeking solace.
00:15Suddenly, something hit his foot.
00:17I'm sorry. Did my ball hurt you?
00:20Blaine looked down to see a little boy holding a football and blinking up at him.
00:24It's okay, bud. No worries.
00:26Are you a doctor?
00:28The boy eyed Blaine's white coat and stethoscope.
00:31Yes, and who are you, little man?
00:33Blaine observed the little boy.
00:35He was undeniably cute and bore an uncanny resemblance to Blaine's childhood photos.
00:40It was like looking at a younger version of himself.
00:43I'm Max.
00:45Nice to meet you, Max. I'm Blaine Dexter.
00:47Dr. Dexter? I've seen your photo in my mother's wallet.
00:51Blaine was astounded. He thought to himself,
00:54Why would the mother of this child have my photo in her wallet?
00:57He even looks like me.
00:59Before Blaine could respond, a sweet voice called out.
01:03Max! Max! There you are.
01:06It was Zoe, Max's mother.
01:09As she approached, their eyes locked and the world seemed to freeze.
01:13Zoe? What are you doing here?
01:16Blaine?
01:17Zoe was stunned. Was that really Blaine?
01:20Aside from a few gray strands, he looked the same.
01:23A flood of memories hit her.
01:26Falling in love, his proposal, her pregnancy, and the chaos that followed.
01:31Had it really been seven years?
01:34Zoe snapped back to reality.
01:36Mommy, you're here! Look who's here, Dr. Dexter!
01:39Blaine looked disoriented, his mind racing as he desperately tried to piece everything together.
01:45Wait a minute, why is he calling you mommy? Is Max your son?
01:49Blaine? Hi, yes.
01:52She ached to tell him the truth, but still in shock, Zoe could only stammer.
01:57After all these years?
01:59What's going on, Zoe? And why does your son know about me?
02:02Blaine was baffled.
02:04The striking resemblance, the photo in Zoe's wallet, Max knowing him.
02:08It was too much to ignore.
02:10How was it even possible?
02:12Answer me, Zoe!
02:14Zoe's head spun.
02:15She couldn't reveal the truth without exposing everything.
02:19No! Catherine, he's your grandson!
02:22If I ever see you lurking around my son again, you won't be so lucky.
02:27Zoe was pulled back to present by Blaine's voice.
02:30Answer me, Zoe! After ghosting me for seven years without a word,
02:34now you have the nerve to show up again in my life? I need answers!
02:38Blaine was just reeling from the big shock when it hit him.
02:42Wait, Zoe, is Max my son?
02:46Will Zoe finally spill the truth?
02:49Why did Blaine's mother want Zoe and their unborn child dead?
02:53What really happened seven years ago?
02:56How will Blaine react to this shocking news?
03:06How did you even know I was pregnant?
03:08A woman always knows.
03:11Too bad I have to kill you, Zoe.
03:16Mom!
03:18Blaine! Blaine!
03:20You're pathetic.
03:21You really think my son would give up his status as a surgeon to be with you?
03:25Mom!
03:28I trusted you!
03:31Don't bother calling for help.
03:33The maids already know where to dump your body.
03:36Mom!
03:43Meegwark!
03:44Hey!
03:45Why didn't you pick up?
04:00911, what's your emergency?
04:02That night, I died.
04:07Or at least, a part of me did.
04:11But that was only the beginning of a love story I never thought I'd live to tell.
04:19Because I wasn't the only one who survived.
04:22Thankfully, Max survived.
04:24Hey, Mom.
04:26But shortly after his birth, Max was diagnosed with leukemia.
04:31He'd been in and out of hospitals ever since.
04:35Hey, sweetie.
04:37We brought you both dinner.
04:39Oh, thanks, Mom.
04:41Thanks.
04:42How's Max?
04:43Uh, yeah, he's good.
04:44Uh, just sleeping.
04:45Needs to rest.
04:47What's wrong?
04:48He just keeps asking if he's ever gonna have a dad.
04:51Why don't you just tell the real father to show up?
04:54Whoever he is.
04:56Zoe wishes she could tell them about Blaine.
04:59But Catherine had threatened her son, Max, if anyone ever found out that he was Blaine's son.
05:04Why don't you take Zoe out with you to Honest Bar, as you're always going to?
05:10No, I don't need my older sister babysitting me.
05:15Well, thank you.
05:16I know you're just trying to help, but I don't feel comfortable going around dating people when my son isn't here.
05:23And he's cured, I'll have to say.
05:26Zoe could never forget that face.
05:29It was Blaine Dexter, the father of Max.
05:33And somehow, he was now working in the same hospital where her son was being treated.
05:41Who is that?
05:43Hi.
05:44Excuse me.
05:45Who is that?
05:47Oh, that's Dr. Dexter, our new surgeon.
05:50Great, yeah.
05:51Oh, that's Dr. Dexter, our new surgeon.
05:54Great, yeah.
05:55Is he single?
05:56Ziva.
05:59Hey, I really appreciate you two for visiting.
06:01I'm just feeling so tired.
06:05Can we go?
06:06Sure, sure, sure.
06:08Zoe couldn't believe that out of all the hospitals in the city, this is the one Blaine worked at.
06:14She knew she had to protect herself and Max.
06:17It was for Max's own good.
06:20But how long could she avoid Blaine before he finds her out?
06:24Zoe had always said she'd find love when Max was cured.
06:28But she was starting to worry.
06:30What if that day never came?
06:32Hello?
06:34Hello?
06:36Earth to Zoe.
06:38Sorry, I'm so out of it.
06:40Well, you better focus, girly.
06:41I hear there's a big new project coming down the pipeline.
06:44But you didn't hear that from me.
06:46Seriously?
06:47Mm-hmm.
06:48Big hot shot with tons to spend.
06:50I really hope Talon finally gives me a chance.
06:52I really need that commission.
06:56Max's hospital bills.
07:03Talon Tailor Designs.
07:04Courtney speaking.
07:07Zoe, it's for you.
07:09Your sister's in the hospital.
07:10What?
07:13Hello?
07:15Yes, yes, of course, I'll be right there.
07:19My sister injured herself last night trying to get the attention of some guy.
07:23Shocker.
07:25Cover for me?
07:26Always.
07:27It seems like no matter what, Zoe just can't seem to escape the hospital.
07:32Eva, what happened?
07:34Did Linda call you?
07:35Yeah, she said you were throwing yourself at some guy.
07:38Was not.
07:40I was dancing and I tripped.
07:43Besides, now the hot surgeon can save my life.
07:46Are you even injured?
07:48Maybe, maybe not.
07:50Let's let the doctor decide that.
07:52Eva, you can't just waste this doctor's time.
07:54What is wrong with you?
07:55Todd, I knew you were going to be a buzzkill about this.
07:57Okay, you know what?
07:58Get up.
07:59We're going home.
08:00Hi, Ms. Fuller.
08:01Sorry to keep you waiting.
08:02Your brain scans came back.
08:04I'm sorry, I didn't realize you had a guest.
08:06I can come back.
08:07No, no, no, no, no.
08:08Come on in.
08:09I was just going to ask for you.
08:11Perfect.
08:13Look, I don't see any cause for concern on your scans,
08:15so I think we can release you.
08:17What?
08:18No.
08:20I mean, I'm telling you there's something wrong.
08:24I don't feel right.
08:25There must be other tests you can do, right?
08:30Let's take a look.
08:32Will this light with your eyes?
08:39It was him.
08:40The man Zoe had loved all those years ago.
08:43And the same one who happens to be the father of her sick child.
08:49Okay.
08:51Look, Ziva, I can usually tell the difference between a patient who is actually sick and one who isn't.
08:58What do you mean, doctor?
09:01Would your friend here be able to drive you home?
09:02Home?
09:04My head feels awful, doctor.
09:05I think I need to stay for another night or two.
09:08Ziva, I kind of need to focus on the patients who really need me.
09:12Maybe you're just dehydrated, you know, from your wild night.
09:15You know what? Maybe you're right.
09:18Zoe, can you bring me some water?
09:21Zoe?
09:39Oh, God.
09:40I know.
09:44Okay.
09:45Gotcha.
09:46It's really not that bad.
09:47No, no.
09:49Oh.
09:51Zoe forgot how magnetic Blaine's touch had always been.
09:54I should do it.
09:55How he could ignite so much inside her simply through his hands.
10:05You can let go of my hand now.
10:07Zoe?
10:08Oh, yeah, sorry.
10:12Um, okay, well, Ziva, I think we'll have you transferred to another unit.
10:17Another unit?
10:18No, I don't want another doctor.
10:20I want you.
10:21I need to focus on the patients who actually need me, okay?
10:24And, Ziva, word to the wise, even if I wasn't engaged, your little trick wouldn't have worked.
10:30I don't condone being with a woman who abuses my trust.
10:38Zoe kicked herself for having false hope.
10:42Of course Blaine had moved on.
10:44Why can't you let me have anything for myself?
10:47You're not supposed to be here, Ziva.
10:49Who's your deal with him anyways?
10:51Why was he so cold to you?
10:53Zoe didn't know how to tell Ziva about her complicated history with Blaine.
10:57That he was the man that fathered Max.
11:00But now was not the time or place.
11:04I don't know.
11:05Okay, well, if you're just going to suck up my attention, then you can leave.
11:12Bye.
11:13Thanks.
11:14Yeah.
11:15Bye.
11:18Hello?
11:19Zoe, hey, it's Talon.
11:20Are you still at the hospital?
11:22Courtney mentioned you had a family emergency.
11:24Is everything alright with Max?
11:26Yeah.
11:27Yeah, actually, it wasn't Max this time.
11:30It wasn't Max this time.
11:32It was my sister.
11:34But don't worry, I can be back at the office later.
11:37No, no, no, no.
11:38It's fine, Zoe.
11:39You work enough as it is.
11:40But I am emailing you right now a proposal for a new client.
11:48Big budget, big everything.
11:50Think you can handle it?
11:52Me?
11:53Seriously?
11:54Seriously.
11:55Seriously.
11:56She wants to meet tonight at 6pm at Waterford International's restaurant.
12:02Yeah, I'll be there.
12:08Finally, some good news.
12:16Things were finally looking up for Zoe at work.
12:24But she had no idea.
12:25This dinner would be a brush with fate.
12:27Reservation under the name Fuller?
12:29No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
12:31You've got to be kidding me.
12:34No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
12:36Please don't see me, please don't see me, please don't see me.
12:45Talon Interiors, this is Zoe speaking.
12:47Are you joining me for dinner or not?
12:56Uh.
13:01You are my new client.
13:06And you are my new interior designer.
13:09I can call my boss and have him put somebody else on the project given our history.
13:15That might be best.
13:17Don't be silly.
13:19We can be adults, right?
13:22Besides, I know how talented you are.
13:29Okay, well then, let's just dive right in, huh?
13:33Thought it might be a good idea to start getting your input with what you envision for your home.
13:37Honing on the mood.
13:39Going for your space.
13:44Let's eat first.
13:49Whatever you say.
13:52Boss?
13:54Were you always this testy?
13:58Always.
14:00Neither could deny it.
14:01The chemistry between them was electric.
14:04I thought that the wood made a nice contrast with the lighter colors.
14:09I really like the wood textures here.
14:10Yeah.
14:11You're definitely onto something.
14:12I thought the textures were really interesting.
14:14Yeah.
14:22Oh.
14:24I'm sorry.
14:25If I'm overloading you, we definitely don't have to figure out everything tonight.
14:29I just...
14:30No, it's not that.
14:33What is it?
14:36Why didn't you ever call, Zoe?
14:40Excuse me?
14:42Why did you leave?
14:45So suddenly.
14:46I had no idea where you went.
14:47How could she tell him the truth?
14:49What his own mother had done to her.
14:54I...
14:55She had to protect herself.
14:57And Max.
14:58She couldn't get wrapped up in the Dexters again.
15:05I'm so sorry.
15:08Hello.
15:10Yes, of course.
15:11Have her prepped for surgery.
15:12I'll be right there.
15:14Is everything okay?
15:16It will be.
15:17It will be.
15:19I guess we'll have to continue this conversation further at another time.
15:31As Zoe watched Blaine leave, she wished she could have explained everything to him in that moment.
15:37But she couldn't put Max at risk.
15:39Besides, patients needed his healing hands.
15:43She remembered when they healed her.
15:45From her own terrible accident.
15:47All those years ago.
15:50I'm sorry.
15:51I can come back.
15:52It's okay.
15:53I...
15:54I'm...
15:55Kind of...
15:56Struggling with these...
16:00Do you mind if I help?
16:07What's your name?
16:08Zoe.
16:10Hi, Zoe.
16:12I'm Dr. Dexter.
16:14You can call me Blaine.
16:16As Blaine fastened Zoe's gown, a shiver ran down her spine.
16:21How's that feel?
16:23Yeah.
16:25Good, I guess.
16:29How's that?
16:36It's perfect.
16:37Blaine could feel something between Zoe and him.
16:41But he had to maintain professionalism.
16:49Oh!
16:50Hey.
16:51You okay?
16:52Yeah, um...
16:53Sorry.
16:54You seem nervous.
16:55No, no, no.
16:56It's just, uh, probably the accident.
16:59Yeah.
17:00Well, I think as a precaution, we should have you stay here another day.
17:03Will you be my doctor?
17:06Yeah.
17:08You don't like me?
17:10No, it's not that.
17:11I just, I don't want to, um...
17:14Take you away from other patients that might need you more than me.
17:18Well, something tells me that you need mine.
17:21Little did he know, this same man would get me pregnant only ten months later.
17:36Blaine was engaged.
17:37Why was he paying for dinner?
17:39And offering his private number?
17:41What could he want from her?
17:44I can't believe we lost him.
17:46I really thought he'd pull through.
17:58You seem distracted.
18:02Oh, hey.
18:03Sorry about that.
18:04Yeah, I wish we could have saved him too.
18:06You know, for a moment there, I thought I saw a light on in you, Blaine.
18:09Thinking about your fiancée?
18:11Nope.
18:12Just distracted.
18:13Well, who are you thinking about?
18:15Don't be ridiculous.
18:25I'm sorry.
18:27I'm sorry.
18:28I was just playing and my ball got away.
18:31It's okay.
18:32I'm sorry.
18:33I was just playing and my ball got away.
18:35Are you a doctor?
18:37I am.
18:38You look strong.
18:39Like a superhero.
18:41What's your name, kid?
18:43I'm Max.
18:44What's your name?
18:45I'm Dr. Blaine Dexter.
18:47You can call me Dr. Blaine.
18:49Oh, you're the brain surgeon with a penthouse downtown.
18:53And your family's loaded.
18:55You live in Moor Park, don't you?
18:58Are you a detective?
18:59Oh, the nurses want to marry you.
19:02Are you single?
19:04Actually, I have a fiancée.
19:08What's wrong with having a fiancée?
19:10It's just, if you were single, I would have introduced you to my mom.
19:15My grandma always says she needs a good man to take care of her.
19:19And you look like a good man.
19:21Are you her matchmaker?
19:23She used to be married, but now they don't live together anymore.
19:27I'm sorry to hear that.
19:29She'll sleep one day and never wake up again.
19:32She'd be all alone.
19:34Well, then let's just hope that doesn't happen.
19:36Okay?
19:37Who is your mom, anyways?
19:38Max?
19:39Max, I've been looking for you everywhere.
19:41Let's get you to your room, okay?
19:43Let's go.
19:45What's wrong with the little guy?
19:47Leukemia.
19:49His whole family's been tested, but we haven't found a match for a bone marrow transplant yet.
19:54Bye, Dr. Blaine.
19:56Blaine felt his heart ache at Ramona's answer.
19:59He knew how difficult it was to find that kind of donor.
20:04Max!
20:06There you are. Where'd you go?
20:08You have to stay in your room, you little troublemaker.
20:11Well, he struck up a friendship with the hot surgeon, Dr. Dexter.
20:20Hey, Max, sweetie, go in. I'll be right there.
20:22I'll be right there.
20:25Ramona, Dr. Dexter cannot know who Max is. He can't know his last name. He can't know that he's related to me, okay? Do you understand?
20:33Zoe, what's going on?
20:34Please, just, just promise me.
20:38I promise you.
20:40Okay.
20:44Zoe couldn't tell her that Blaine's mother attempted to take her life and Max's seven years ago.
20:50But she had to keep Max safe.
20:53And keeping the truth from Blaine was the only way.
20:57But would she be able to keep them apart forever?
21:00Only time would tell.
21:13Hi.
21:15No need to sit. Just wanted to check up on where you're at with Blaine Dexter.
21:20Okay.
21:22Dinner was great. He had to leave early on a hospital call, though, so now we're currently...
21:28Moving forward, as they should be. Right, Zoe?
21:32We cannot mess this deal up. Understood?
21:36Yes. I am on it, boss.
21:40That's what I like to hear.
21:50Hello?
21:52Hi. It's, uh, me. Zoe. Zoe Fuller?
21:57This was impossible. How could Zoe be expected to work for him, given their history? Given... everything?
22:10I'm sorry.
22:12I'm sorry.
22:14I'm sorry.
22:16I'm sorry.
22:18Look, 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.
22:25So I would appreciate if you could...
22:27Why don't we meet at my place? Tonight. Let's say six.
22:32At your place?
22:34Well, yeah. You need to see my furniture, don't you?
22:37Right. Of course.
22:40Is that okay with you?
22:43Mm-hmm.
22:44The 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.
22:51Great. I will see you...
22:56...tonight.
22:58Zoe had almost forgotten Blaine was engaged. She knew she had to be strong. She had to move past her fears.
23:06You got this.
23:08But she had no idea that her darkest fears just might come true.
23:12Dr. Blaine Dexter, please. It's his mother. I need to speak to him immediately.
23:19Of course. This is his house.
23:23Suddenly, Zoe was dizzy. What was she doing? How could she meet with Blaine alone, after what Blaine's mother had done to her?
23:33She cursed herself for forgetting to eat today. Her mother was right. She wasn't taking care of herself.
23:43You again. I thought I got rid of you the first time.
23:47Katherine, please leave me alone. I'm just trying to provide for my son.
23:50You mean your illegitimate baby that you had with my son?
23:55Did you really think you could weasel your way back in?
24:02I will kill you. Make no mistake. If you try to get close to Blaine, I will end your life.
24:13But suddenly, in her hallucination, Zoe thought of Max, and the life she wanted to provide for him.
24:21Screw you, Katherine.
24:23Zoe decided right then and there, she wasn't going to let the Dexter family dictate her life.
24:30You can't scare me anymore. I'll show you who Zoe Fuller really is.
24:34But what did Zoe just walk into? Will Blaine stay with his fiancée, despite his growing feelings?
24:39And when will Zoe run into her attempted murderer, Katherine Dexter, again?
24:45Wow. So this is where Blaine lives.
24:49Be professional, Zoe. He's moved on.
24:52Have you been waiting long?
24:56Blaine, your house is amazing. Why do you need an interior designer?
25:02For our new home. Me and my fiancée.
25:05Fiancée?
25:07This doesn't have to be weird. We're both adults, right? I know you've moved on, and I have too.
25:17Is that why you were so jealous of sister being treated by me?
25:22I wasn't jealous.
25:23You know, she reminds me of a younger you.
25:27Impulsive.
25:29Flirty.
25:34Dangerous.
25:39Or is that still you?
25:43Aren't you engaged, Blaine?
25:46Good point.
25:49We're here for business.
25:54But I'm starving.
25:59So let's eat first.
26:14Our second date.
26:16I'm serious, Blaine. You need to stay professional.
26:20I already told you, I'm engaged.
26:23And you are... single?
26:27I'm married.
26:29But Zoe was lying. She used to be married.
26:32But things changed.
26:34Good for you.
26:40You can leave those. We're waiting on another person. Thank you.
26:48Who are we waiting for?
26:51Who do you think?
26:53Sophia Quincy.
26:55Everyone knew Sophia Quincy.
26:58The heiress to the Quincy Corporation, an aerospace conglomerate.
27:02This was the kind of woman Catherine Dexter wanted Blaine to be with.
27:07It all made sense.
27:09Sophia, lovely to meet you, Chloe.
27:11Actually, it's...
27:13Zoe.
27:19Sorry.
27:21Sorry.
27:23Kids.
27:25Let's talk interior design.
27:28Yes, yes.
27:30I have some mock-ups together if you wanted to...
27:35take a look.
27:39Zoe couldn't deny how nice Sophia was.
27:44Gorgeous, rich, and kind.
27:50How could Zoe possibly compete with that?
27:53I don't know.
27:59I'm so sorry. I...
28:01I actually have to go.
28:03Can't it wait?
28:05No. No, it's my son. He needs me.
28:08Oh, you have a son?
28:10How darling.
28:12Blaine and I cannot wait to have kids.
28:15Right, sweetie?
28:17Yes, I can grab him.
28:19He's... as you can see, I will be in touch with you.
28:21Dr. Dexter, good to see you.
28:25Good to see you. Do you know her?
28:28Hardly.
28:30Little did Blaine know, he already had a child.
28:36She dropped this.
28:38Zoe?
28:40But Zoe could never let him find that out.
28:43Oh my god, that's the Heart of the Sea necklace.
28:47It was the priceless necklace Blaine had given Zoe years ago.
28:52He couldn't believe that she still had it, after all this time.
28:57Could that mean she still held a torch for him?
29:00Like he did for her?
29:04Why would a low-level interior designer have something this expensive?
29:08She's not low-level.
29:13I need to use the restroom.
29:21But Sophia wasn't convinced.
29:27It's me.
29:29Look, I need some information on someone.
29:32An interior designer by the name of Zoe Fuller.
29:44Hey, what's going on? Where's Lex?
29:46He had an episode. They stabilized him. He's fine. You can visit him soon.
29:51But they want to run a lot more tests.
29:54Tests? What kind of tests?
29:57The expensive kind.
29:59Money was tight, but Zoe knew she had a fallback option.
30:03I'm sorry, Zoe. I know money's tight for you right now, and just...
30:09Zoe?
30:13Zoe, are you okay?
30:15The only hope Zoe had of paying for Max's treatment was gone.
30:22Blaine.
30:26So what's a married woman doing on my doorstep in the middle of the night?
30:30Look, I'm just going to cut to the chase, okay?
30:33Do you have my necklace?
30:35Don't you mean my necklace? Since I'm the one who gave it to you.
30:38Blaine, please. Not now. I just... I need... I need that necklace.
30:42For what? For remembering the guy you left behind all those years ago?
30:46For no reason?
30:48That's not...
30:49You broke my heart, Zoe.
30:59Blaine could never know the truth.
31:02That she was forced to leave. Forced for her own safety.
31:06I can't do this. Forget it.
31:08Wait.
31:12What?
31:14Turn around.
31:16Turn around.
31:18Could he tell how badly she wanted him?
31:40Don't lose it again.
31:45More confused than ever, Zoe had what she needed to pay for Max's treatments.
31:51But given the history...
31:54Could she really sell it?
31:56I came as soon as I heard.
32:01This is Matthew.
32:03The man she married.
32:05And the heart she had broken.
32:08All because she could never stop thinking about her first true love.
32:13Blaine Dexter.
32:16I love you.
32:23What am I supposed to do?
32:25We will get through this.
32:27Alright?
32:29Together.
32:32Why couldn't Blaine stop thinking about Zoe?
32:37It was driving him crazy.
32:41Come to bed.
32:43It's been so long since we...
32:45I can't.
32:47The hospital needs me.
32:54It wasn't just the hospital that needed Blaine.
32:57Blaine might be Max's only hope.
33:00But could Zoe tell Blaine the truth?
33:02They said the chemo would work and it's not working.
33:04Look, this can happen with chemo.
33:07Patients can build up a tolerance to it, then it loses efficacy.
33:11Zoe, I looked over Max's chart.
33:14He has chronic toxic hepatitis.
33:17Now, there are ways of treating this, but...
33:20Let me guess, it's really expensive.
33:23The bills just keep racking up.
33:25I'm never gonna get out of it.
33:27And in that moment, Zoe knew what she needed to do.
33:31Matthew.
33:33I know we're not married anymore, but...
33:36I can't give you any more money, Zoe. I'm sorry.
33:38It's not that, it's just...
33:40Could you watch Max tonight?
33:44I have something that I need to do.
33:47Of course.
33:52And tell me...
33:54The patient is in triage.
33:56Okay, thanks.
34:03That's the husband, huh?
34:08What does he have that I don't?
34:39Long night, Dr. Dexter.
34:41You were incredible in surgery.
34:43Thanks, Roberta.
34:45I'm headed home.
34:47Gotta get some sleep.
34:49Page me if anything comes in, okay?
34:56Oh!
34:58Oh!
35:00Sorry.
35:02Good thing your coffee was cold.
35:09You in a hurry to see your husband, Zoe?
35:16Even though Zoe hated lying to Blaine,
35:19she couldn't risk him knowing that she was there for Max.
35:23He couldn't know about him.
35:24Why else would I be here?
35:26Good.
35:29Go on.
35:33See you around.
35:39Wait.
35:44I'm sorry.
35:46I just...
35:50It's really hard for me to see you with someone else.
36:02Do you need to change out of that shirt?
36:09Probably.
36:23Here's your shirt.
36:28Alright, well, turn around.
36:32I've seen you naked before.
36:34Yeah, well, that was a very different time, wasn't it?
36:38Yeah.
36:49She was driving him wild.
36:52How could he possibly stand this?
36:58You haven't changed a bit.
37:04It was really happening.
37:05They were about to give in to their desires,
37:07after being apart for so long.
37:10Zoe couldn't believe it.
37:22It's your wife.
37:24She wants to see me.
37:26She's not my wife yet.
37:28Blaine, we can't do this.
37:29This is too messy. I mean, you're engaged and...
37:31And you're married.
37:35Yeah.
37:40Right.
37:42Unless...
37:45There's something that you're not telling me.
37:52Where's your necklace?
37:57Where's your necklace, Zoe?
38:02I...
38:06Zoe, where is your necklace?
38:10I had to sell it.
38:11You sold it?
38:15Why?
38:16I...
38:17Why would you sell it?
38:19Why?
38:21I can't tell you.
38:25So that's what I meant to you?
38:27No.
38:28I guess that settles where we stand.
38:30Dr. Dexter.
38:31Yeah, yes.
38:32Um, sorry, but we need you in surgery.
38:34We've got a complicated case.
38:35Yeah, I'll be right there.
38:36Blaine, please let me explain to you.
38:38I just needed the...
38:39Whatever the reason, I hope you got what you needed.
38:53Hi.
38:55I'm so sorry I'm late.
38:56I got held up at work.
38:59At work?
39:00At work.
39:02Huh.
39:03It's so funny.
39:04I called your office and they said that you weren't there.
39:07That you spend a lot of time at the hospital.
39:11Yes.
39:13I have family there.
39:15How convenient.
39:19So are we going to go over designs or not?
39:22Of course.
39:24Of course.
39:25So, I was thinking that we could draw some inspiration from...
39:35Oh, my necklace.
39:37I found it at a pawn shop.
39:40It's so funny.
39:41The kinds of things that you can find in most surprising places.
39:49It definitely suits you.
39:52I know.
39:53It does.
39:55Oh, and Zoey...
39:58I don't like people envying my things, so...
40:02Keep your eyes on your own jewelry.
40:07Understood.
40:10Understood.
40:13Miss...
40:14Quincy.
40:16Did Sophia know what was happening between Zoey and Blaine?
40:20She know that Zoey sold the necklace to a pawn shop.
40:23And was she trying to take revenge?
40:38Hi, baby.
40:40Sophia.
40:44Listen, I think we need...
40:47What's wrong?
40:49That necklace. Where did you get that necklace?
40:51I bought it.
40:53At a pawn shop.
40:54A pawn shop?
40:56Clearly, whoever sold it didn't care about it.
40:59Take it off.
41:01Now.
41:02Why?
41:05Tell me.
41:09I know it was hers, Blaine.
41:12You know nothing.
41:14I know she sold it.
41:16And that says a lot.
41:18If it helps.
41:20Apparently, she needed the money.
41:21Badly.
41:23She did?
41:25So forget about the poor, pathetic interior designer.
41:32And start thinking about the future.
41:36Your wedding.
41:38To me.
41:52The hospital needs you.
41:54Of course.
41:56Don't tell me. Just go.
41:58Blaine knew that no matter how hard Sophia tried,
42:02she would compare to Zoey.
42:11Zoey!
42:12Just the gal I wanted to see.
42:14Look, since you are taking on big accounts now,
42:17I am sending you to Scottsdale for a couple days.
42:21Huge opportunity there with a new client.
42:25I need you to close the deal.
42:27Talon, that is so great.
42:29But I...
42:30But?
42:32Zoey, this is what you wanted, isn't it?
42:38Yes.
42:39Of course.
42:42Okay.
42:45I like that.
42:48Yes.
42:57Blaine couldn't get Zoey out of his head.
43:03What could she possibly have needed to sell the necklace for?
43:07What was so important?
43:14You sneaking out?
43:15Dr. Blaine!
43:17Where are you going, little man?
43:19You can't tell Nurse Ramona.
43:23Where are you going, little man?
43:24I want to get my mommy a pet.
43:26Pet?
43:28Okay.
43:29Does she like animals?
43:31Not really, actually.
43:33It's just...
43:36I don't think I have much time left.
43:38And...
43:40I wanted to have something,
43:42or at least someone,
43:44that could live longer than me.
43:48Well, you know what, Max?
43:51You're going to live a really long life.
43:53And your mom is so lucky to have a guy in her life like you that cares about her.
43:57You still haven't met her.
43:59You'd really like her.
44:01I am sure that I would.
44:04You know what?
44:06I got a little time to kill,
44:07and I know a really cool pet store right around the corner.
44:10Want to go check it out?
44:11Yeah.
44:12Show your mom how thoughtful you are?
44:13Yeah.
44:14Alright, follow me.
44:17Okay.
44:26Oh, Lizzie.
44:28Max will be receiving experimental treatment for the next few weeks.
44:32But my boss called, and they gave me a Scottsdale for work.
44:36Is there any chance that you could handle visiting Max for me just while I'm gone?
44:40Of course, Zoe. We'll take care of him, of course.
44:44Suddenly, the day caught up to Zoe.
44:46The encounter with Blaine.
44:48The confrontation with Sophia.
44:54Okay.
44:55Need a little water?
44:56Why don't you come sit for a little bit?
44:58No, I need to spend as much time with Max before I go.
45:02Oh, to tell that haughty doctor I haven't forgotten about him.
45:06Unless you've gotten to him yet again.
45:09Zoe knew she was being paranoid.
45:11How could Ziva possibly know what happened between her and Blaine?
45:15What did you say?
45:17What?
45:19That's exactly how Zoe felt, too.
45:23The ghost of her past.
45:26You've got to introduce this little guy to your mom, huh?
45:28Yeah.
45:29You excited?
45:30Yeah.
45:32Zoe, you look like you've seen a ghost.
45:35No, no, I'm fine.
45:38It's just venom.
45:39It's just venom.
45:41No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
45:43It hit Zoe.
45:44How natural Blaine was with Max.
45:47How compatible they were.
45:49Maybe life didn't need to be so lonely.
45:53It was time to tell Blaine the truth.
45:59Will Zoe face off with her nemesis?
46:02What will Catherine do when she sees that both Zoe and Max are alive?
46:10And will Blaine ever find out that Max is his son?
46:14Will he be the donor match that could keep Max alive?
