In the present day, Chase is in bad shape.

This is a problem for Harper because, shocker, healsohelped Chase betray Hamzad.

Then he slips him a piece of paper with a handwritten phone number.

Back in Gloomytown, Pennsylvania, Chase pulls out all the stops to reverse Zoes housing decision.

While peering through her window, he notices the unpaid bills and sad Lean Cuisine lunch.

She lets Chase stay.

What ensues is an adorable AARP date where Zoe and Chase trade pill regimens and relationship war stories.

This is Zoes first first date since the George H.W.

And Faraz Hamzad is out for revenge, you say?

Chase is kind and supportive, reassuring Zoe with the series running theme: Youre not the villain here.

Boy, do they both need that wine list.

A difficult task considering he doesnt even know her name.

But shes not one to throw her father figure, Harper, under the bus.

During the Tense Drive Home From Dinner, Zoe gets a call from her son.

(Girl, thats the least of your problems right now.)

No, no, no, none of that actually happens.

That was simply Chase imagining the worst-case scenario, because thats how the mind of a rogue ex-spy works.

The only thing the cops noticed was the alcohol on Zoes breath.

Knowing hes putting Zoe in a tremendous amount of danger.

Chase refuses her advances and announces his plans to move on.

But shes not having any of that because she wants herself some Jeff Bridges.

Cant say I blame her.

Now,weknow Emily isnt dead, so, living under a different identity, perhaps?

Two episodes in, shes still just a voice on the other end of a burner phone.

As in, Dan disfigured Abbey?

Jesus, what is their untold story?

Chase is startled awake in an empty bed and immediately goes to break things off with Zoe.

As he loads the dogs into the car, Chase hears glass breaking.

In the kitchen, Zoe has taken her frustrations out on an innocent piece of crockery.

Even in divorce, Zoes ex is finding ways to passive-aggressively torment her, like shorting his alimony payments.

Yep, hes showing her love by making scrambled eggs.

Oh, this is not going to turn out well.

And because Harper is adding yet another wrinkle to this traditional spy-chase story.

Remember that slip of paper from Morgan Bote?

Zoes gonna be wishing for the days of those dreary, microwavable lunches before long.
