Mr. Cooke, recently injured and reluctant to leave the hospital, is pressured by an attendant to go home as ordered by Ms. Wood, who deeply cares for him. Meanwhile, tension rises when Kyle confronts Sara about Noe, who is missing and reportedly targeted by thugs. Sara insists she has no romantic involvement with Noe and pleads for Kyle’s forgiveness after being ordered to fire Noe. Kyle denies any role in the attack but remains suspicious. As Mr. Cooke resists hospital care, Ms. Wood commands a search for Noe’s whereabouts, escalating the urgency and leaving the threat against Noe unresolved.
