Miller, Kai, Max, Kennedy, and Isaiah ambush Emmett with breakfast at his apartment one game day morning with the intention of interrogating him on the secret relationship they suspect he’s having with Reese. In private, Miller and Emmett talk about him dating for the first time since her mother died. Miller tells Emmett she’s happy to see him happy and will especially support the relationship between him and Reese.

Though he doesn’t say anything outright, their relationship is confirmed to everyone when Reese shows up uninvited with coffees, stating she’s missed him. Reese is shocked and panicked to realize they all know about her and Emmett, but he assures her that she can trust the team to keep quiet.

After his family leaves, Emmett cleans up his beard before he heads to the field with Reese. She offers to cut it for him and he allows her to take care of him in this intimate way. While she shaves, he asks her about the meeting she had that morning with the commissioner of the MLB and the other owners. She says that the owners sympathized over the backlash she’s been receiving, and while they’re slowly acknowledging her, there’s still a long way to go.
