Ayana rambles to cover up the suggestiveness of her question, but Vuk accepts all the same. As Vuk strips to dry his clothes, Ayana stares and goes to make tea. Vuk comments on the eclectic nature of her apartment—something she actively sought to do to surround herself with things she loves.

For her third question, she asks how he and Jordan met. He explains how they met in school, but initially weren’t friends. When Vuk got into trouble with the wrong crowd, Jordan saved him by paying off the hundreds of thousands Vuk owed them. He prompts her to ask who the “wrong crowd” was, but Ayana declines, as she believes he’ll tell her if he wants to. Hank knocks at her front door.

Vuk berates himself for spending so much intimate time with Ayana as he retrieves his shirt. He overhears Ayana justifying a visit to a lawyer to Hank. When Hank once again becomes threatening, Vuk uses his physical presence to intimidate him.

After he leaves, Vuk and Ayana talk about her quitting her agency. She vaguely explains that their personalities and working styles no longer match. When she mentions how Hank has an uncanny ability to know everything she does and where, Vuk offers to have his security check for bugs for her. He then leaves to visit Hank at his apartment. Vuk threatens him by puncturing his hand with a knife through an apple without a word, then leaves.

That Saturday, Vuk takes Jordan and his wealthy friends out for his bachelor party. After going to the Vault, Vuk brings them to a hole-in-the-wall bar, where they talk to Jordan about marrying Ayana and give poor advice about married life. Vuk contemplates Ayana’s future, when she might have children with Jordan. Jordan’s cousin Topher then accidentally bumps into a customer, which starts a bar brawl that involves their whole group.

Ayana, meanwhile, is having a tame bachelorette party with her sister Liya, Sloane, her hairstylist Kim, and her modeling friend Indira at a restaurant. They play a Never Have I Ever drinking game, which leaves Ayana uncomfortable. She and Jordan do not sleep together, despite their agreement to have an open marriage.

The conversation turns to Vuk, and when Indira mentions his scars, Ayana becomes protective of him. As they head to their planned escape room, they come across Jordan and the others in the aftermath of their brawl. After looking after their injuries, Ayana discovers Vuk is the only one unscathed. Indira attempts to flirt with Vuk, but he ignores her. She proposes they merge their groups, and they decide to recruit more friends.

Vuk grumbles at the change of plans. They are now playing laser tag, and Indira follows him everywhere. The group splits into two teams, men versus women, and they make a wager: Losers pick up the tab.

When the game starts, Vuk breaks away from the others and hunts down the other team. When the game is tied, they take a break and play a game of Truth or Dare. When Vuk is dared to kiss someone at the table, he uses a loophole to kiss the back of Ayana’s hand. The kiss, though innocent, affects both Vuk and Ayana.

As the game starts again, only Vuk, Ayana, and Jordan’s friend Will are left. In the darkness, Vuk struggles with old memories. When Ayana touches him, he instinctively reacts and pins her to the wall by her throat.

Despite having a hard time breathing, Ayana watches as Vuk realizes their compromising position. Tension rises between them, and as things turn sexual, Will finds them, shoots Vuk and Ayana, and wins the game. Ayana realizes she feels embarrassed at what almost happened between her and Vuk. She rationalizes that their shared moment meant nothing.

As the others leave, Ayana speaks with Jordan about their wedding. She reflects on how Jordan only offered their arrangement because his grandmother insists he must marry someone or lose his inheritance. Jordan eventually leaves, and Ayana thinks about how lonely she’s become during her career.

When she sees Vuk, she follows him and confronts him about the kiss on her hand. When he deflects and tells her to leave, she attempts to kiss him. He verbally tells her “Don’t” instead of signing the words, then tells her in Serbian that when he kisses her, she will not be wearing Jordan’s ring. He walks away.

Six days after the bachelor party, Vuk is at the shooting range. Sean brings him a lead on the man who left the note. He identifies him as Roman Davenport, foster brother to Dominic Davenport, a financial tycoon and a friend of Vuk’s. Vuk orders Sean to keep digging, and Sean insists on increasing his security again. Vuk wonders about Roman’s possible motives as a member of the Brotherhood and who the “they” he was referring to in his note are.

When he returns to his office, he notices something is wrong immediately and finds Roman sitting in his chair. Rattled by the security breach, Vuk pulls his gun, but then lowers it to hear him out.

During her photoshoot with Wentworth, Ayana cannot concentrate. Her thoughts stray to Vuk and the night of her bachelorette party. When everyone leaves after they wrap up, Ayana is left alone with Wentworth. He tries to invite her to his apartment, but Ayana refuses. Wentworth makes insinuations about how the change in her wedding date is due to a scandal, and Ayana realizes he’s taken drugs. He sexually assaults her, and initially, she is too shocked to push him away. Eventually, she retaliates by slapping him and breaking his nose.

She runs away and hides in an alleyway, overcome by all the decisions that led her to this point. Knowing full well her modelling agency won’t support her, she makes a mental tally of who could help her and makes her way to Vuk.

Roman makes Vuk an offer: Since he wants to take down the Brotherhood and needs Vuk’s help and resources, he proposes an alliance where he provides intelligence and inside knowledge. He admits to having set the fire in the Vault months ago, which earns him a warning shot from Vuk. He confirms that the Brotherhood wants Vuk dead, since the leadership has changed in the last year and the contenders have decided to use Vuk as a test to determine their new leader. They chose him because Vuk is the only person to leave the Brotherhood, face them, murder some of their members, and remain unscathed.

Vuk deduces that Roman is after the leadership position. Roman confirms and offers a permanent peace between them if he becomes the leader. After careful deliberation, Vuk shoots Roman in the shoulder and tells him he’ll be in touch if he chooses to agree to his proposal.

Ayana arrives at Vuk’s mansion, and Vuk’s butler, Jeremiah, lets her in. He brings her to the library. When Vuk asks her what is wrong, Ayana cries. She details what happened to Vuk, and he calls his staff to bring her food and a tea that resembles Ayana’s mother’s recipe.

When she mentions their moment at the bachelor/bachelorette party, Vuk immediately denies it. He asks why she hasn’t told Jordan, and Ayana lies about planning to tell him later. To help with her anger, he brings her to his personal rage room and allows her to break whatever she wants there to feel better. She does, and the experience is cathartic.

Vuk stalks into Emmanuelle Beaumont’s office. He writes out on paper that Wentworth assaulted Ayana. When Emmanuelle claims Wentworth is threatening to sue Ayana for assaulting him, Vuk demands that Emmanuelle cut all contact with him and refuse to book models with him. When she inquires why he, instead of Jordan, is making demands on Ayana’s behalf, he smiles and does not answer.

Leaving a small surveillance device beneath her desk, Vuk walks out of her office. He receives a message from Sean saying they are ready for him. 40 minutes later, Vuk is in his abandoned warehouse. Sean claims Roman’s assertions about the Brotherhood were accurate, then leaves Vuk with a bound Wentworth. Vuk beats him and smashes his dominant hand. Wentworth will no longer be able to hold a camera. As he leaves the warehouse, he sends Roman a message to let him know he accepts his proposal.
