Dominic cannot take his eyes off Alessandra throughout her mother’s wedding. The wedding vows remind him of the promises he made to her but didn’t keep. During the reception, Dominic convinces Alessandra to share a dance with him. They reminisce over their own wedding and recall that a guest hacked the DJ booth to play ’90s rap during their first dance. Dominic asks her to go on a date with him in Brazil. He assures her that the date does not need to lead to a relationship or even a second date; he just wants to spend time with her. Alessandra hesitantly accepts.
When Alessandra tells her friends about agreeing to the date, they express concern that she might be backsliding into old habits. Alessandra convinces them that her decision is for the best, reasoning that going on a date with him will put their relationship to rest for good. For their date, Dominic flies Alessandra to Floripa—one of Alessandra’s favorite places in Brazil. They stay at a lavish resort.
Dominic tells Alessandra about running into his foster brother, Roman. Although Dominic loves Roman in his own way, he doesn’t trust his foster brother’s sudden arrival in New York and suspects that he is involved in questionable activities.
