Zoey Gold faces a tense standoff when Xavier, injured and awaiting treatment in the hospital lobby, refuses care until he signs a settlement agreement. Zoey insists on legal resolution before allowing treatment, blocking Xavier’s access despite the severity of his arm injury and urgent risk of amputation. Hospital staff refuse to admit him, citing the hospital’s private status and restrictions due to Zoey’s influence. Tensions escalate as Xavier's injury is revealed to be old, casting doubt on his claims. Under pressure, Zoey threatens consequences if the settlement isn’t signed, leaving Xavier trapped between his health and legal demands.
