At the gym, Alex and Danny begin their workout routine. While exercising, Mark, a gym employee, approaches them to remind them of a new policy requiring members to store their belongings in lockers. He explains that the gym has become busier in the mornings, which makes locker rooms messy. Alex and Danny agree to comply, though Alex finds the rule strange since the gym is nearly empty at night. After Mark leaves, Danny teases Alex about Mark, suggesting he seems fit. Alex jokingly turns the conversation around, asking Danny if she had avoided dating previously to keep Alex from feeling left out. Danny deflects the conversation back to workout equipment.
After a tiring session, the two head to the locker room to change.

As they approach Alex’s building, they notice Braydin lying unconscious near the water. Alarmed, they rush to help him. After dragging Braydin into Alex’s apartment, they clean his wounds and try to make him comfortable. They leave him alone to rest once they’re satisfied he’s safe.

Danny shares that she enjoys movies, trying new foods, and chatting with friends.

He admits he doesn’t even know her major, prompting Danny to reveal that she studies data science and has internships lined up for post-graduation.
The conversation turns heartfelt when Danny confesses her dream of opening a restaurant one day. Just then, Alex arrives, and Danny humorously announces her intent to show Alex her “moves” to win over Braydin. She jokingly instructs Braydin not to fall in love with her.

During their lively conversation, Braydin learns Alex has a boyfriend. Surprised, he questions why he’s never heard of or met the mysterious boyfriend. Alex clarified that saying “boyfriend” is a strong word, but she agreed to go on a date with someone named Lucas. Braydin’s shock grows when he recognizes the name. He reacts strongly, describing Lucas as an arrogant, pompous show-off who is “too happy” to be genuine.
