He also tells her to tell Chloe to stop being a fool, since someone is out there trying to kill her. Amy asks him if it's true they can't kiss humans, and Alek tells her if she wants to find out. But Amy pushes him away and tells him she'll be watching him. Alek exits the hallway to class.

In the clothing store, Chloe is working on some price tags, Brian shows up and the two of them start talking. Brian asks her if she would like to have coffee with him again, and Chloe says yes.

In Rezza capital, Brian is training kickboxing. His dad joins in his training and Brian tells him he wants to spend time with him. His dad tells Brien that if he wants his respect, he'll have to earn it.

Outside the church, the same guy is being slapped by his mother, and his dad tells him he shouldn't be there. The guy runs away, and Chloe follows him. Chloe sees there are two other guys discussing something with him, but then he leaves.

Back in the store, Chloe tells Amy she felt the Xavier's brother's pain when she looked at him.

Chloe starts telling Brian about a trip whe made with her mother to Paris, but Brian doesn't seem to be listening to her, and tells her all he is thinking about is kissing her. They approach each other and are about to kiss, but Chloe pulls back and tells him that it's a really weird time for her, because she just went to a funeral. They leave the restaurant and Brian tells Chloe about his mother, and that she was murdered. Brian apologizes for the crappy date, but Chloe tells him it has been the best crappy date ever.

Once Chloe is back in her room, she decides to call Xavier's number, Gabriel picks the phone up, and Chloe tells him she thinks she was the last person who saw Xavier alive. In Rezza Capital, Brian opens his dad's office door and tells him he wants to talk with him, but his dad says he is busy. While closing the door, Brian notices there is someone else in the room, but the door is closed before he could see who it was. Back inside Brian's dad's office, Scarface is seen talking with his dad.

Chloe goes to meet Gabriel, and tells him its not his fault his brother died. Gabriel confesses his brother came to San Francisco to help him, because he was addicted to pain killers and that he is now trapped in a drug dealing problem. Chloe encourages him to stop, but Gabriel tells her he can't and leaves.

In Chloe's house, Amy tells her she shouldn't get involved, but Chloe assures there is some weird connection between Gabriel and her. Paul tells Chloe it might be mind control. Chloe tests this by trying to make him stop talking, but it didn't work. Meredith arrives and tells Chloe she saw Brian on the porch, who brought flowers for Chloe. Brian tells her that if she needs time, he'll be willing to wait for her. Brian leans down, kisses Chloe on the cheeck and leaves.

Chloe's phone starts ringing, she answers and Gabriel thanks her for talking to him today. Gabriel tells her he is going to stop selling drugs, and that he called the other guys to meet him for a last transaction. Chloe is worried about him and along Amy and Paul, go to help Gabriel. Chloe tells them to stay in the car and goes inside the building. Alek tries stopping Chloe, but Chloe walks past him and tells him she owes Gabriel this. Gabriel tells the other drug dealers that after tonight, they're done. But one of the other dealers tells him that there is nothing stopping Gabriel from going to the cops, and points a gun at him. Chloe jumps in and tells him to stop, but the dealer points the gun at her instead. Alek tackles him and scolds Chloe, but the other dealers point their guns at them.

Amy and Paul decide to go look for Chloe. Alek tells Chloe his plan, but Chloe refuses as it would most likely end with him and Gabriel dead. The dealer is about to shoot them, but Paul turns off the light switch. Chloe and Alek easily deafeat all the drug dealers in the dark, who could barely see anything due to the darkness. Gabriel asks them what had just happened, while some police sirens could be heard not too far away. Gabriel tells them he called them in order to capture the other dealers. Chloe hugs Gabriel and Alek tells her they should go.

Outside the building, Alek tells Chloe that he can be a jerk, but that in reality he is just worried about her. Chloe tells him she has many quiestions she wants to ask them. Alek tells Chloe she should stop seeing Brian, saying one of them would only end up hurt. Inside her house, Meredith notices Chloe is still up. Brian calls Chloe, but she did not answer. Meredith tells Chloe she should let the Xavier incident go and to live her life at the fullest.

Upstairs in her room, Chloe checks her e-mail to see if her dad had responded, but she had no new messages. Chloe decides to call Brian, and thanks him for the flowers.
