Episode 4

Victor keeps showing up at the hospital, and Tessa tells him plainly to leave—she's working, she's helping patients, and this is a hospital. He doesn't take the hint. Instead, he makes a scene, bribing waiting patients to go elsewhere and even pointing them toward another clinic down the street. When the emergency room empties out, he turns to her with a smirk: no more patients, so how about dinner? Tessa calls him insane for bribing people in an emergency room. He offers shopping, dancing, whatever she wants—but she has a boyfriend. His reply: "It's irrelevant."

Episode 5

Victor tells Tessa he doesn't see a ring on her finger, so she's still fair game. He even offers to dial the cops for her and hands over his card, telling her to call when she changes her mind. She says not a chance. At home, her brother Angie finds expensive gifts and assumes Peter finally came through—but Tessa insists they aren't from Peter and warns Angie not to touch them. She rushes back to work, where Peter dodges her questions about marriage. Then, unexpectedly, he asks: can they get married right now?

Episode 6

Tessa has waited years for this. Peter has always put off marriage, blaming his career, but now he says he'll give her the world once he gets his promotion. She tells him she doesn't need the world or luxury—she just needs him and the two of them together. He calls her his life's greatest treasure and promises to do everything, asking her to show up this weekend. She agrees. But a woman confronts Peter about sneaking off during work hours, accusing him of running to his girlfriend—the one who bankrolled his degree. He insists it's nothing like that.

Episode 7

Tessa's stepfather catches Angie and her with the designer gifts and flies into a rage, shoving and threatening them. He claims everything that belongs to Tessa belongs to him, that he housed and fed them after their mother died, and that selling these items will pay their debt. Tessa fires back—he never gave them a single cent, he stole money meant for Angie's transplant, and he took everything. He doesn't care; he's selling the gifts anyway. She warns him they were delivered by accident and selling them means jail time, then reveals she and Peter are getting engaged this week.

Episode 8

Tessa waits at the hilltop hotel for her engagement party, but Peter is nowhere. Angie watches her standing there alone and asks if Peter forgot.

Then Victor gets the news: Miss Bray is having an engagement party—and he decides he's going to crash it.
