Episode 20 - Zoey's Grumpy Guardian Angel
Zoey, feeling increasingly suspicious about her colleagues
in Blaine's department buying wine from her, decides to take a break. She heads
to the bathroom to gather her thoughts. While in a stall, she overhears Ramona,
who is on the phone with someone named Doctor Dexter. Ramona apologizes for not
being able to buy wine from Zoey, expressing her fear of failing her semester.
It's clear to Zoey that Blaine has orchestrated the wine purchases, likely
paying for them himself. This realization shocks Zoey; Blaine has been her
silent benefactor, her grumpy guardian angel.
Her mind races as she contemplates confronting Blaine. They
had shared an unexpected kiss weeks earlier, and the thought of facing him
makes her anxious. Despite her turmoil, she returns to work, resolving to
forget about Blaine’s covert assistance. On weekends, Zoey finds solace
visiting her son, Max, in the hospital. Max has been improving, and Zoey
cherishes their time together. During one such visit, nurses Luna and Bonnie
bring Max his medicine, engaging in light-hearted banter. Luna’s comments about
Blaine dining with his girlfriend in the cafeteria stir emotions in Zoey. She
tries to mask her discomfort but accidentally cuts her finger, the physical
pain overshadowed by her emotional turmoil.
As Zoey leaves the hospital, she unexpectedly encounters
Blaine. He appears indifferent, ignoring her presence entirely. Hurt by his
cold demeanor, Zoey musters the courage to confront him about the wine
purchases. Blaine admits to orchestrating the sales without hesitation, further
confusing and frustrating Zoey. Their exchange grows tense, with Blaine mocking
Zoey’s sense of pride. The confrontation turns personal when Blaine brings up
their kiss, leading to a bitter exchange. Despite Zoey’s gratitude for his
help, she is determined not to owe him anything.
Their conversation is abruptly interrupted when a
middle-aged man, driven by a delusional rage, throws a bottle of what he claims
is sulfuric acid at Blaine. Zoey reacts instinctively, pushing Blaine out of
the way and taking the brunt of the attack herself. She screams in agony as the
liquid, later revealed to be a chili pepper concoction, burns her eyes. Blaine
is furious, violently subduing the attacker. His anger is palpable, fueled by
his deep-seated feelings for Zoey.
Episode 21 - Stop Protecting Me
Blaine, uncharacteristically panicked, rushes Zoey to the
ophthalmology department. Doctor Lou assures them that Zoey's injuries are not
severe, and the liquid was not sulfuric acid. Despite this, Blaine’s concern
remains evident as he questions the security lapses that allowed the incident
to occur. Doctor Green, a psychiatrist, explains that the attacker was a
psychiatric patient triggered by seeing handsome men, leading to his irrational
behavior.
After the immediate crisis passes, Blaine and Zoey’s
conversation turns serious. Blaine sternly warns Zoey to stop trying to protect
him, emphasizing that he can take care of himself. Zoey’s defiant response only
escalates Blaine’s frustration. Their emotional exchange reveals underlying
feelings, with Blaine bluntly asking if Zoey still loves him. Zoey, panicked
and defensive, denies it vehemently.
As they navigate their complex relationship, Zoey follows Blaine to his office for eye ointment. Their conversation is interrupted by Josie, a colleague excitedly discussing Blaine’s upcoming marriage. This reminder of Blaine’s engagement further distresses Zoey. Despite the tension, Blaine remains composed, thanking Doctor Liu for his assistance without correcting his assumption that Zoey is Blaine’s girlfriend.
In the privacy of Blaine’s office, their conversation grows
more intense. Blaine, now dressed in an elegant suit, prepares to leave for an
engagement with his fiancée, leaving Zoey feeling increasingly isolated and
confused. The unresolved emotions and the reality of Blaine's impending
marriage hang heavily over them.
