Episode 62 - Kiss Me, Zoey! - Summary
In Episode 62 of the ongoing saga, titled Kiss Me, Zoey!,
tension rises between Zoe and Blaine as the complexities of their relationship
take center stage. The episode begins with Zoe grappling with her emotions
after seeing Blaine with Madison earlier that day. Although her jealousy is
undeniable, Zoe attempts to mask her feelings from Blaine, reminding herself of
the unspoken "rules" of their arrangement. Being the "other
woman" means she has no right to restrict Blaine’s involvement with other
women, even though the thought of him being with someone else deeply unsettles
her.
Zoe’s dry laughter and inner monologue reveal her turmoil as
she tries to convince herself that she doesn’t care. But her insecurities only
deepen, especially as Blaine reacts to her veiled comments. His initial smile
fades, and anger flickers in his eyes. Without saying a word, Blaine slaps the
roof of Zoe’s car and walks away, leaving her confused and upset.
As Zoe watches Blaine speed off in his car, she is struck by
how uncharacteristic his behavior is. Blaine, who usually drives with caution,
now speeds recklessly, venting his anger. This reckless driving, unusual for
Blaine, leaves Zoe wondering what exactly she said to set him off. She
questions whether she offended him again, unable to shake the feeling that her
well-intentioned words may have crossed a line.

Upon arriving home, Zoe is greeted by her sister, Ziva, who is still awake and deeply engrossed in a news report about a devastating earthquake in Mexico City. The earthquake, with a magnitude of 8.1, has claimed thousands of lives and left many more injured or missing. Ziva’s concern is not only for the victims but also for Doctor Dexter, who has volunteered to go to Mexico City to offer medical support. The thought of Dexter heading into such a dangerous situation weighs heavily on Ziva, and she voices her fears to Zoe, who tries to comfort her sister while grappling with her own thoughts.
Zoe understands why Blaine, a dedicated doctor, would feel
compelled to go to Mexico City to help. Yet, as Ziva tearfully expresses her
anxiety about the dangers in Mexico, including the constant aftershocks, Zoe
can’t help but feel a sense of dread herself. She reassures Ziva that Dexter is
doing something noble, but her own internal struggle is evident. She doesn’t
want to admit that she, too, is scared for Blaine, even though she’s not
supposed to care as much as she does.
Zoe retreats to her room, torn between calling Blaine to
talk about his plans and convincing herself that she has no right to interfere.
She regrets provoking him earlier and fears that it may have been their last
interaction. This thought gnaws at her, but she forces herself to stay calm,
trying to distract herself with a shower. However, Ziva cuts in, announcing
that she has to leave early in the morning to send Dexter off at the airport.
Hearing this, Zoe is surprised and slightly disappointed that Ziva seems to
know more about Blaine’s itinerary than she does. Everyone seems aware of
Blaine's departure except for her, reinforcing her sense of exclusion from his
life.
As Ziva leaves for the airport, Zoe wrestles with her emotions and impulsively decides to follow her sister. At the airport, she stays hidden behind a pillar, watching from a distance as Blaine says his goodbyes. Surrounded by friends and family, Blaine remains composed, even as Sophia tearfully clings to him, begging him not to go to such a dangerous place. Despite Sophia’s emotional plea, Blaine remains unmoved, focused on his upcoming departure.
Zoe, watching from the shadows, feels a pang of
disappointment. Blaine is about to board the plane, and she hasn't had the
chance to say goodbye. Just as she’s about to leave, Blaine unexpectedly
appears, grabbing her face and kissing her passionately in front of the crowd.
Zoe is shocked and breathless, but Blaine doesn’t seem to care about the
onlookers. His possessive, fiery kiss leaves her overwhelmed and flustered.
As Blaine prepares to board, he continues to tease Zoe,
urging her to say something important before he leaves. Flustered, Zoe
nervously hands him a bag of candy she bought for him. Blaine’s response
catches her off guard when he tells her that he doesn't accept gifts from other
women—only from her. His casual yet sincere words leave Zoe speechless and
emotional, unsure of what to say next.
As their brief encounter comes to an end, Blaine reassures
Zoe that he’ll be back soon, though he’s uncertain about how long he’ll be
gone. His departure leaves Zoe feeling a mixture of longing and sadness.
Although Blaine leaves for Mexico City, the unresolved tension between him and
Zoe lingers, setting the stage for what’s to come in their complicated
relationship.
Episode 63 - Because You're Not Here
In Episode 63, "Because You're Not Here," Zoe and
Blaine share an intimate, emotional moment at the airport before Blaine departs
for a medical mission in Mexico. The episode begins with Blaine requesting a
goodbye kiss, which leaves Zoe blushing and embarrassed. They are in the middle
of a busy airport, and Zoe feels hesitant about kissing him in such a public
space. Despite her nervousness, she eventually gives Blaine a soft kiss, which,
although brief, causes a powerful emotional response in both of them. Blaine
teases Zoe for being stingy with her affection, but the two share a warm
embrace before he boards the plane. This scene highlights the deep affection
between the two, despite their struggles.
As Blaine prepares to leave, he advises Zoe to take care of
herself and offers her access to his unlimited credit card in case she needs
anything, especially for Max’s medical expenses. Zoe, however, insists that she
is okay financially, even though she has used Blaine's card before. Her honesty
and independence please Blaine, and he affectionately strokes her cheek before
finally heading to his flight. Zoe watches him walk away, feeling a heavy sense
of loss. She remains at the airport until Blaine’s plane pulls away, and though
the weather has warmed, Zoe feels a chill that reflects her emotional state.
The separation weighs on her more than she anticipated.
That evening, Zoe returns home after spending time with Max
at the hospital, feeling restless and anxious. She tries calling Blaine, but
his phone goes straight to voicemail. Understanding that Blaine is likely in a
disaster zone without proper cell service, Zoe spends the evening watching grim
news reports about the earthquakes in Mexico. The news only worsens her mood,
and the increasing number of casualties and aftershocks make her worry more for
Blaine’s safety.
Unable to sleep, Zoe’s thoughts keep racing back to Blaine.
She wonders how he is faring, whether he arrived safely, and if he has access
to food and shelter. Her mind becomes consumed with concern, and she grows
frustrated with her inability to relax. Finally, she hears her phone ring but
misses the call before she can answer it. When she checks the call log, she
notices the number is from Mexico City, and she immediately realizes it was
Blaine calling. Frantic, Zoe tries to call him back, but the number is
temporarily out of service.
After several attempts, Zoe finally reaches Blaine. His
familiar, deep voice instantly calms her, washing away the anxiety that had
built up throughout the day. Blaine explains that he tried calling earlier but
assumed she had gone to bed when she didn’t answer. He reassures her that he is
okay, despite the difficult conditions in Mexico. Blaine even jokes that things
aren’t going well because Zoe isn’t there with him, a playful comment that
briefly lightens the mood.
Zoe expresses her concern for Blaine’s safety, especially
with the frequent aftershocks in Mexico City. Blaine promises to be careful and
assures her that he will return safely. He also reminds her not to wait up for
his calls since he is working long hours treating the injured, often performing
surgeries late into the night. Despite his tough surroundings, Blaine’s
thoughts are still with Zoe, and he wants her to get enough rest. This tender
exchange shows Blaine’s care for Zoe, even while he is in a high-stress,
dangerous environment.

Their phone conversation is filled with warmth and affection, reminiscent of their past relationship when they would talk late into the night, reluctant to hang up. After ending the call, Zoe feels a bittersweet nostalgia, reflecting on how things used to be between them. The bond they share is still strong, even though circumstances have changed.
Meanwhile, back in Mexico, Blaine returns to his tent after
making the call. His colleague, Jose, wakes up and teases Blaine about his
late-night journey to find a working phone. Jose deduces that Blaine must have
gone to great lengths to call Zoe, and his teasing suggests that Blaine’s
feelings for Zoe are obvious to those around him. Though Blaine remains
tight-lipped and tries to deflect Jose’s comments, his actions speak volumes
about the depth of his feelings for Zoe.
The episode closes with Blaine settling down to rest after a
long day, while Zoe lies in bed, still processing their conversation. Though
they are miles apart, their connection remains as strong as ever, providing a
source of comfort and reassurance for both of them during this period of
separation. The distance between them only intensifies their emotions, as they
each long to be with the other while facing their individual challenges.
