In front of Mia (the Master), a man loudly declares, "I am taking her from you," targeting Jesse — called the love-struck brother — and provokes a confrontation. Jesse lunges while others question whether Mia is protecting him. The man proclaims Hugh's devotion but claims he will be Mia's future boyfriend and husband, citing his one-week bet win, Mason's critical injury, Sam being abroad, and the Zeal family's losses to justify his advantage. He even offers 500 push-ups as penance for a kiss. The episode ends with his dominance asserted and Mia's choice unresolved.
