Zahra and Rowan fall into a texting routine, and Zahra believes that she might be interested in two guys at once: Scott and Rowan. She gains the opportunity to see a lighter, more caring side of Rowan when they bowl with Ani and Ani’s boyfriend, JP, for the buddies program. Zahra also gets a glimpse into Rowan’s troubled upbringing and parental pressures when he admits to having been on a bowling team in high school just to spite his father and avoid having to play sports he did not enjoy. Ani notes Zahra and Rowan’s interest in one another, and Rowan teaches Zahra how to bowl with correct form.

Rowan hangs out with Ani at their usual spot inside Dreamland; Ani is obvious about her interest in Rowan and Zahra, asking him questions and telling him that Zahra smiles at him. When Rowan discovers, as Scott, that Zahra is staying late at work and has skipped dinner, he stops by the Creators warehouse under the pretense of trying to find someone to give their advice on an idea to get rid of the oldest ride in the park. While it’s clear that Zahra could talk about the ride for hours, her rumbling stomach gives him the opening to offer dinner.
