Maverick returns from Tokyo and goes directly to Hendrix’s apartment. They wake up together the next morning. Hendrix initiates an intimate encounter, directing Maverick to a drawer in her nightstand to retrieve sex toys.
They use a vibrator, sharing an experience that is both passionate and emotionally vulnerable. Afterward, they lie together and discuss their demanding schedules. Maverick reflects on his deep feelings for Hendrix, recognizing that their physical connection has forged a powerful emotional bond.
Hendrix wakes up and goes to the kitchen, where Maverick surprises her with champagne roses and breakfast. As they eat, they discuss the practicalities of their new relationship, including the challenges of being long-distance and future living arrangements for Betty and Geneva.
Their morning is interrupted by Skipper and Bolt, who arrive at the door separately but simultaneously. Privately, Skipper tells Hendrix that Bolt recently asked her on a date, but she feels too intimidated to accept. Hendrix offers encouragement, and Bolt takes matters into his own hands, decisively leading Skipper away for a private conversation. Hendrix and Maverick are left to reflect on their assistants’ budding connection.
